Woman Stops Gator Attack with 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:
While out walking along the edge of a bayou just below Houma, Louisiana with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator suddenly emerging from the murky water and 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 more than worth the purchase price of the gun.

Piano Lesson

 
5-year old KF took her first piano lesson today. We're very proud and excited. She has a beautiful singing voice and we expect that she'll shine here, too.

Schoolhouse Rock

Look what's back...

 

Stumbled onto an article in the Washington Post by Monica Hesse. Schoolhouse Rock is 40 today. Roadtrip! Instantly, along the neural pathways of my aging brain. My kids watched these short films and learned.

 

Obviously we missed the DC performance, but iTunes has the downloads and Amazon has the full collection--46 songs--available on a 30th (???, dated 2010) Anniversary DVD.

Whether for your own trip down memory lane or as a learning tool for your kids, this ROCKS!
