I don't see the "feel good" factor here. There is an armed robbery and a grandmother gets hit on the head with a gun, plucky woman defending the property but the whole situation is not feel good to me.

It oould have gone south in a hurry.

I'm glad everyone is ok and the crooks were caught.

But trying to bean an armed robber with produce was foolish. Now if she had fired off some coconuts...

Less "feel good" and more "Fn close!"

-An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

There is no safety for honest men
except by believing all possible evil
of evil men.

Pixels were born to be punished. -Frederick Van Johnson

Mister, that's a ten-gallon hat on a twenty-gallon head.

I *love* Sigs. It's Glocks I hate.
