SUPER GRANNY- Defender of justice

The following is a true story
An elderly Florida lady
did her shopping, and upon returning to her car, found
four males in
the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her
shopping bags and
drew her handgun,
proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I
have
a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!"

The four men didn't wait for a second invitation.
They
got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken,
then proceeded to
load her shopping bags into the back of the car and get into
the driver's
seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into
the ignition.
She tried and tried,
and then it dawned on her why. A few minutes later
she found her
own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded
her bags into
her car and then drove to the police station.

The sergeant to whom she told the story nearly
tore
himself in two with laughter. He pointed to the other
end of the
counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by
a mad,
elderly woman described as
white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly
white
hair, and carrying a large handgun.

No charges were filed..................... Ah,
senior
moments!
