65 Year Old Woman Open Fires On Robbers [VIDEO] President Obama is doing everything he can to limit our Second Amendment rights, but stories like this one continue to highlight the importance of the right to protect ourselves. According to recent reports, a 65-year-old woman recently turned the tables on a young thug attempting to rob her outside of her home in Manchester, New Hampshire. Although she has asked for her identity to remain anonymous, the woman did confirm that shes had a concealed carry permit for more than 10 years. Monday night was the first time shes ever fired her gun in that decade. Theres no way in hell I could have overpowered him, she said in an interview just outside of her apartment building. They probably looked at me and thought, oh, look at this older lady, shes little, and thought I was an easy mark. Authorities agree, claiming this is probably why she became the target of 23-year-old Michael Bontaites late one Monday night. According to authorities, Bontaites spotted the woman at a nearby gas station and then followed her into the parking lot of her apartment complex. Bontaites is a whole foot taller and about 100 pounds more than his victim. I said to myself, this is not good, the woman told reporters. I just knew, I just knew. Trusting her instincts, the woman took action before walking to the front door. I decided to take the gun out of my purse and put it in my pocket, she told authorities. When Bontaites ran up behind her and reached for her purse, she fired the gun. She was able to shoot Bontaites in the chest, injuring him without killing him. She does not offer any apologies for trusting her instincts and pulling the trigger. If I didnt have that weapon, God knows where I would be today, I could be dead, she concluded. I had every right to use my weapon. The incident is still under investigation by local authorities.
