Florida woman stops 12 ft gator with .22 pistol
Florida Woman Stops Alligator Attack Using a Small .22 caliber Ruger Pistol. Another good reason to have a concealed weapons permit. 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 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap 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 really incredible and his life insurance was also a big bonus!”

Silly me, when I first started reading this I thought it was a true story...then I got to the punch line and had a good laugh. Well played.

You don't have to be faster than the animal chasing you. you have to be faster than the person you're with.

As I read this to my wife, she stared at me with wide eyes, even as I read through the punchline. I believe she thought is was a true story until I told her it is a joke. Her sense of humor and mine are widely separated.
