little old lady

[john455]

  I was at the gun store today and while waiting a little old lady started talking to me she looked to be 70 or so and walking with a cane. She said she was there to finally pick up her new gun, I figured a little .22 or something like that, the guy brings a box out and in it is a Rossi Circuit Judge Revolving Rifle .410 Bore and .45 Long Colt 18.5" Barrel 5 Rounds Wood Stock Blue Barrel, she acted like a kid with a new toy all excited, all I could think is "don't JUDGE a book by it's cover"

I bet she kills her own food.

Sounds like that could have been  my wife, without the cane.

Moral to this is don't mess with old lady's either! They won't fight fair they'll just kill ya.

My wife's granny would be barefoot, find a snake in the yard, stand on snake barefooted and holler for somebody to bring her the garden hoe so she could whack it.

Gotta watch them grannys!   My grandmother grew up in the hills about Grundy County and such.  She helped her daddy run shine.   

One of her youngest brothers left the hills when he was 14.   He got involved in organized crime up north.  He suddenly needed a place to hid out for a time.  He came back south and granny hid him out at her place in Nashville.  Once he decided the coast was clear, he went back up north leaving a few items with her... among pictures and other personal items was a set of knuckles (aluminum I think) and a .22 snub nose revolver.   After he returned to the north he was murdered at about age 30.   Granny always kept that .22 close by.    

 

She would tell us kids if you ever need someone to lie for you or hide you out, I will.  She'd give us beer for mowing her yard.   She was a real character.

 

She would also tell the  grandkids one of these day I ain't gonna be here no longer and I want to no what of mine you want.  I always told her the only thing I wanted was her gun so I could tell people this gun belonged to my pistol packin' granny.   She died at 92 about 10 years ago.    To this day I keep the pistol in my desk, loaded of course.
