What? she wasn't obliged to retreat, no duty to retreat, she was in tampa bay FLORIDA just standing her ground, right?
How was she to know the noise at her door was her 7 yr old grandson?
... she felt threatened to within an inch of her life as the hairs on her neck rose & a shiver went down her spine, & she could'nt've retreated if she'd wanted to, she HAD TO FIRE.
Gawd, what if it HAD been an armed intruder hell bent on rape & murder???????
She'd be a gun hero today.
