Now, this is my kind of Granny!!

I don't know this woman or the circustances as to how she shot the opossum. I just know I like her.

Looks like an Ithaca single shot shotgun. Cool pic too!

I think that critter must have been getting fat eating her garden plants. Mistake!

Hobie put a spell on you, and you can no longer view any 'hot chicks with guns' pics...

Granny looks like a woman who takes charge and solves problems. My kind of chick!

I'm thinking that is a ground hog instead of possum, but I like the fact that the old folk are taking care of business!!!!

She reminds me of a lady in our Church. Mary is 80 years old and lives alone in the farm house her late husband built for them. One day her son, Ron, stopped in to check on her and found blood all over the yard. He ran inside looking for Mary and when he found her she said "I need you to reload this rifle for me." Asking what had happened she said "I'm tired of those darn coons getting into my sweet corn so I shot them." Ron found seven dead coons about the yard when he finished looking. She may not know how to reload that rifle, but she definetly knows how to shoot it.

She reminds me of a neighbor I had several years ago. She was in her mid 80's, married 3 times, and had a passion for hating skunks. She was known for her walking abilities as she could walk faster than anybody I ever known and she carried an old colt 45 which she inhereted from her grandfather. One day, she was chasing something with that colt in hand, shooting up a storm in town. I quickly ran over there to see what was going on and there was a skunk trying to get through her flower fence and severely wounded. She reloaded and finished it off. I helped her bury the stinking thing and she let me look at her pistola. WOW, it was very nice and the bullets she was using were from an old box that she said came with that pistol when she got it in the 30's. She died about 4 years ago and her son took the colt. I sure liked her.

Here's a picture of my Mom, see was in her early eighties here. she wasn't long from heart surgery and my brothers asked the Doc if it was ok to take her on a trail ride. The doc said yes as long as they took a picture of her setting on one of our mules. So they did, and the Doctor framed it and hung it in his office. She was a tough ole Texas gal.

He looks like he's saying "You gotta ask yourself, do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, gopher?"
