A 12 ft gator attack was stopped recently with .22 pistol! By a "Florida
Woman Using a small .22 caliber Ruger Pistol." Another good reason to
have a concealed weapons permit. This is a story of self-control and
marksmanship by a brave, coolheaded woman with a small pistol against a
fierce predator. Here's her story in her own words:

"While
walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in the Villages
discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and
other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft alligator which
suddenly emerged from the murky water. It began charging us with its
large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she
was extremely aggressive. "If I had not had my little Ruger 22 caliber
pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged
husband's knee cap was all it took. The gator got him easily, and I was
able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved
in lawyer's fees was really incredible and his life insurance was also a
big bonus."
