A WW11 vet living in Ridley Twp, Pa., hearing a knock at his door, opened the door and was told by a woman that her car broke down and asked to use phone. He let her in and was immediately sprayed with lighter fluid. A wrestling match broke out and he went for one of his guns. The woman ran upstairs and got two guns from a drawer. A gun fight broke out and the man went back down stairs to call 911 and the woman went out of a second story window to get away. The moral? Don't mess with a WW11 Vet, they were trained to get the job done back then. The man says he is a member of the NRA and does not believe in being a victim.

Smells a bit. How did the woman know which drawer upstairs would have the guns in it? Methinks we may not be getting the whole story.

You raise a good question which also bothered me. It states in the news story that the police believe the woman had some "inside" knowledge about where the guns were. The question is how?

My first gut instinct was that she was not a stranger who came to the door and said her car broke down but that they knew each other; perhaps there was some bad blood or other history between them. OR, he doesn't know HER, but she knows someone with knowledge about the house, like her sister cleans his house or something, and she went there with the specific intent of robbing him and more knowledge than a random person off the street would have.

Heard an update on this story from NRA News tonight. The woman has been captured. When asked who had been in his home, the victim told police no one had been in his home except cleaning people. After checking records with the cleaning company, police came up with this woman as a suspect. After arresting her on suspicion, the woman admitted rumaging through his drawers on previous visits, and admitted to selling the two guns that she got away with to a felon for $100.00 and @100.00 worth of cocain. Police are now looking for the man that bought the guns. I guess this means that if you use a cleaning service, stay at home while they are cleaning and keep any firearms locked up and out of sight.
