Florida woman stops alligator attack using a small Beretta pistol.



This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman

with a small pistol against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber that you

would trust to protect yourself? A Beretta Jetfire testimonial.... Here is her story

in her own words:



"While out walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in The Villages

with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce

issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator which suddenly emerged

from the murky water and 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 Beretta Jetfire .25 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. It's one of the best pistols in my collection! Plus the amount I saved in

lawyer's fees was really incredible.

Around here, if you're hiking in bear country, it's advisable to make sure you go with somebody slower than you.

Grizz

As in the old joke about the 2 fishermen spending a weekend in the north woods when a grizzly attacks their cabin. First gent is calmly putting on his tennis shoes. Second gent says "What are you doing,you can't out run a grizzly!" First gent says," No I only have to outrun you."
