"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 that suddenly emerged
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.
