I'll give The Red Guardian credit for actually reporting on an incredible story of survival and self-defense with a firearm.

Still, it's amazing that it took me four months to find this story.

An 85 year-old woman, Christine Jenneiahn, survived a violent home invasion by a man less than half her age because she had a gun and knew how to use it. She also probably saved the life of her son.

Without that .357 magnum revolver, she would have been defenseless.

Still, what's really incredible is that, after the fired two shots hitting the bad guy, the bad guy managed to dump his entire mag of 9mm into her, and she survived. She survived for ten hours before she got any medical help.

So...ummm...no Biden, a 9mm bullet won't rip your lung out of your body. .357 magnum is clearly the superior cartridge.
