I was amazed to see the stereotype of the "widow with a shotgun" come to life in this recent article:

http://news.yahoo.com/okla-woman-shoots-kills-intruder-911-operator...

Can you identify with the mother in this story? Do you think she was targeted because of her recent loss?

I am sure we all have different perspectives on gun ownership and so on... but emotionally.... I felt that could have been me at one time, strong and desperate enough to do whatever it takes.

I saw that article on Yahoo too Robin.... it made my heart hurt and at the same time cheer for this woman defending herself, her son and her home.
