Good guy (gal) without a gun - oh my, what happened?
.. victim said she was on her way to her car just before the intrusion, but she turned around when she noticed she had left her phone at home.. her 13-year-old son and a female relative were the only ones in the house at the time.Afraid for her safety, the unarmed victim said she wrestled with one of the men until he dropped the firearm {AK47, yow!}. They eventually ran out of the house, with one firing shots, but missing on his way out. No injuries reported.
"I noticed the guy started getting nervous -- his fingers getting crazy on the trigger. And I just disarmed it. I just completely took out the magazine from the AK," the woman said. "They just didn't know I was going to fight back. That's what they didn't know.
Florida woman says she "went blank" when she decided to fight off a pair of home intruders who were armed with an assault rifle.
The woman, who asked not to be identified by her real name, said she was thinking of her family's safety when two men, one with an AK-47 assault riffle, stormed into her home in Altamonte Springs, Florida, on Saturday and tried to rob her.

Big man with an AK just got emasculated hugely...

(52,241 posts)5. I have never even seen a gun,
much less know what the difference is between any of them, how they work, etc. I wouldn't even know how to remove a magazine. Until 5 years ago I didn't even know that there was a gun "magazine". I thought they were referring to periodicals when I heard the word for the first time. Do I need to take a gun class just so I know how to disarm someone? This is absolutely ridiculous. This gun culture sucks. My parents and grandparents were anti gun and never, ever had one or talked about them. I guess I am a minority in America these days.
