Well...while I dont think it is all that big of a deal. There were other paths she could have taken here. I really think the situation flashpointed here. Just be lucky they were pelet guns and not the real thing. That being said the gun in question is made by S&W and it is very powerfull. I have fired one once and was impressed with the power it had. It is possable she may have hurt one of these kids pretty bad, if not even may have killed one if she had really shot them, rather than shot at them.

A burglar had broken into my store and was running away. I fired a round into the ground and then pointed the gun at him. My intent was to make him think that I shot at him and missed. (He was 100 yards away with his back to me.) Night time break-ins stopped after that.

Kids like this deserve to die.

Kegger,it's highly unlikely she would ever be able to get the real thing in her own house.

This happened in the U.K.

My biggest question is do these criminals turned victims get prosecuted for their crimes in wich they were committing while they were "victimized"?

we allways here about the brit nanny govt punishing home owners for defending their property but never hear about what happens to the robbers.

Those are the people that don't need guns, She had to look outside her yard to look for trouble.

I hope they nail the kids for vandalism. but she was way off base here.

Seems like a decent woman. Not like she did any harm and maybe the littles sbags will finally leave her alone...

What a suck society to deal with this in such a way.

ridiculous, there is no crime in england.

she was charged with a "firearm" crime? airguns have no "fire"

she should have given the children a good talking to , that would have fixed them.

the law was aware of the attacks on her but did nothing until she did something.

englands new law will ban door locks because it might impede
the criminal.

She should have used the flat tipped pellets and waited till they were on her property then popped them in the arse. No different than you do with stray dogs digging in your yard or chitting on it. If kids want to act like animals and destroy other peoples property then they will be treated as such.

Airguns have been reclassified as firearms in the UK since a 2 year old child was killed with a pellet through the eye this year. I wonder what happens when all tools are banned in the UK and its a 48 year old woman vs a gang of teenagers with her bare hands.

I noticed her son who is 17 did not go with his mother to protect her from the gang, regardless of the airguns. It is his Mother. Coward! What kind of men are being rased in the UK if the sons will not stand by the mothers in a pinch? Cowards! Article said 2 sons. Cowards!

I noticed her boyfreind distanced himself from the issue. What kind of a Coward is he when the love of his life has to confront the littel monsters alone? Some kind of a liberal professor or something?

What kind of a country allows it to reach the point that it's women have to confront a gang of littel monsters in the street to get justice?

If you look around on British news sites, this kind of teenage gang harrassment of it's citizens is quit common.

that will teach the old scumbags to not interfere with the rights of the young and strong to vandalize and show their strength..

I think it is some type of british haircut, like an afro but like more gay.

Just goes to show that there is NO justice anywhere...and I thought we were the only place where criminals have more rights than those on the side of good....There is no hope for this world.
