It&#8217;s very polite that criminals are doing that now &#8211; I should get one of those doorbell things;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> A 28-year-old woman said she woke to someone ringing the doorbell twice. When that stopped, she heard someone at the backdoor. Her 8-year-old and 2-year-old daughters were still asleep, so she grabbed her handgun and went to investigate.<\/p>\n<p>She then found a man standing in her living room who said, &#8220;How are you?&#8221; She told him to get out of her house, and he started walking towards the back door. She said that as the man was leaving, he reached for something in his pocket and that&#8217;s when she fired a shot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/v9.anv.bz\/scripts\/anv_mcp_9.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var p = new anv_pl_def();p.loadVideoWithKey(\"eyJtIjoiR1JUViIsInAiOiIyNCIsInYiOiIyNzAyMzY1In0=\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The third story is from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tampabay.com\/news\/humaninterest\/suspecting-an-intruder-dunnellon-man-fends-off-lunging-gator-with-pistol\/2148721\">Florida<\/a>, where a man went to investigate an intruder in his backyard;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After grabbing a flashlight and his .357-caliber Magnum pistol, the 68-year-old Abele crept quietly outside and shouted to the would-be intruder that he had a gun. But the creature crawling on his deck in the moonlight was the last thing he expected to see.<\/p>\n<p>The same could probably be said of the 200-pound, 6-foot alligator that suddenly sprang toward Abele from the shadows.<\/p>\n<p>The next few moments happened in a heart-pounding flash, Abele recalled Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was crouched down and looking around when he hit me hard enough to knock me into a planter,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The next thing I knew he coming at me with his jaws open, so I pulled the trigger with the gun barrel about 3 inches from the side of his head.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another happy ending brought to you by your local firearm distributor.
