Way to go Girl! :p

Guy figured he could shake down the oldsters after 'shoveling' their drive.
I guess he was not familiar with contract law - no consideration given for services performed in advance.
But looks like granny was willing to pay the dude with some lead.

Wonder who called the cops.
Would think you wouldn't need a 'permit' to own a gun on your own property.

Good for them. Hopefully the loser shaking then down thinks twice in the future.

Give me $50,000 for shoveling your drive !

Really, we have no idea how much the person asked for ... so if he was trying to truly "scam" her is a question.

That's true - Granny could have scammed the guy - "shovel my drive and I'll pay you $50", then when he came to collect she had a gun and told him to beat it….
