"Cairns Woman Stops Crocodile Attack Using a small .22 caliber Ruger Pistol." (Another good reason to have a concealed weapons permit).
This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator.
Here's her story in her own words: "While walking along the edge of a river just outside my house in the Villages discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 4 meter crocodile which suddenly emerged from the murky water.
It began 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 Ruger 22 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 crocodile got him easily, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible and his life insurance was also a big bonus!
Edit; It's a joke Folks not a news item.

They are the only animal in Australia which scare me - apart from the Drop Bears of course!
I haven't been north for a few years but bought a very short barrelled 12G and a box of SGs for my next trip - even that probably won't stop them but it may make them pause for a moment.
