When an elderly woman was watching television one evening, a home intruder appeared and pointed a gun at her head. As the grandmother’s adrenaline kicked in, she went “Dirty Harry” on the criminal.
The adage “Don’t mess with Texas” perfectly describes one granny from the Lone Star State. At first glance, Rebbie Roberson might appear to be a sweet Bowie County grandmother. However, the Texas granny wouldn’t cower to criminals even if they placed a pistol to her head, as one home invader discovered the hard way.
Roberson told reporters that she watches TV in her green recliner every night inside her Texarkana home and that she always has her trusty .38 caliber pistol next to her. A man wearing a mask and gloves broke into her home one evening while she was seated in her recliner. CNN reported. “When I started to get up, he was in here on me with a gun facing me right to my face,” Roberson recalled.
However, little did the intruder know, Roberson had a weapon to defend herself and even the odds. What she did next took the criminal by surprise. “So I had to walk right out in front of him,” Roberson said, as she recalled the harrowing encounter. “I didn’t know if he was going to kill me or what.”
“I tried to kill him,” Roberson exclaimed. “Anybody break in on me, I’m going to kill them. He’s going to kill me or I’m going to kill him. I’m not sure I didn’t hit him. I don’t know yet. I sure tried, I sure was hoping,” she admitted. “That was the scare of my life.”
Sheriff’s investigators said they have no problem with the actions taken by this pistol-packing granny. “Every citizen, according to the Texas penal code, has the right to defend themselves and their family,” Bowie County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jeff Neal said. While at home, Roberson said, she always keeps her gun close. However, the tough-as-nails granny said this was the first and, hopefully, last time she will ever have to use it.
Roberson continued, “So, I reached over there (a nearby table) and grabbed this gun. And when I swerved around, I pointed it at him and he ran.” As the intruder fled outside, Roberson pursued, firing her 38-caliber handgun at the fleeing man, leaving multiple bullet holes in the walls of her home.
