Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
When three people broke into an elderly Georgia woman’s home, they didn’t expect to end up staring down the barrel of a gun.
Two men and a woman have been arrested after grandmother with a gun thwarted an attempted burglary at her home in Coweta County, according to deputies. “I don’t know why they selected that house, but they picked the wrong one,” Colonel James Yarbrough from the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office said.
According to a report, Elaine Stiehl, 78, was getting ready to take a nap when she heard a noise coming from inside her home on Mount Carmel Road around 3 p.m. Friday. Stiehl loaded her gun, opened her bedroom door and saw two men standing in her hallway, the report said.
Officials said the men were in the process of stealing furs and tools from the home, but after seeing Stiehl’s gun, the men reportedly ran out of the residence and fled in a car. “Neighbors were able to give us a description of the vehicle we pulled it over and took the subjects into custody,” Yarbrough said.
Stories like this one are a reminder that we need to keep protecting our Second Amendment right to bear arms. The right to own a firearm is critical when it comes to upholding property rights and home protection.
Way to go, grandma!
