Higher Learning from Princeton

A 77-year-old Princeton woman faced down a man armed with a sawed-off shotgun and sent him running after she pointed her own gun at him, according to court documents. [More]
Creepy story, the way the guy stayed around...it doesn't sound like it would have ended well at all.

And while this Princeton is in Maine, the young men and women of that other Princeton could learn something from this that their university will never teach them.

For starters, every damn one of them is less able to defend themselves than a 77-year-old woman.

Love it when a plan comes together.

What is amazing is that this woman risked escorting this armed sociopath outside instead of immediately firing at him.
