"Florida Woman Stops Alligator Attack Using a small .22 calibre Ruger Pistol.
This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave,
cool-headed 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 calibre pistol with me,
I would not be here today! Just one shot to
my estranged husband's kneecap 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 incredible
and his life insurance was also a big bonus!"
