1. Good for that lady & her son. That's the way a gun should be

used when confronting burglers, robbers, or any other criminals caught by a citizen.

3. I Got A Switchblade From A Would Be Mugger

when I was 16. I was visiting my cousin in Manhattan. We were walking down 42nd Street when a mugger approached us with a switchblade and demanded out money. I raised the sleeve of my coat and let go of my pythons head and the snake slithered forward toward the mugger. Would be mugger dropped knife and ran away shouting 15 million people and I pick a fucking nut. I bought the snake to get over a phobia of snakes. It worked and I gave him to a reptile zoo.
