Poet Maya Angelou Blasts Gun at Home Intruder April 03, 2013 nation.foxnews.com Obama supporter and famous poet Maya Angelou was asked by Time Magazine if she had ever fired a gun in her life. Her answer was surprising — “Of course!” Angelou then recounted a time in which she fired upon a home intruder. TRANSCRIPT: *TIME:* Your mother — she was your protector. She often carried a gun, she seemed to be very fond of guns. Did you inherit your mother’s fondness for guns? *MAYA ANGELOU:* Well, I do like to have guns around, I don’t like to carry them. But I like -- if somebody is going to come into my house and I have not put out the welcome mat, I want to stop them. *TIME:* Have you ever fired a weapon? *ANGELOU:* Of course! *TIME:* At a person? *ANGELOU:* I’ve fired it period, not at a person I hope! I was in my house in North Carolina. It was fall. I heard someone walking on the leaves. And somebody actually turned the knob. So I said, "Stand four feet back because I'm going to shoot now!" Boom! Boom! The police came by and said, "Ms. Angelou, the shots came from inside the house." I said, "Well, I don't know how that happened."
