Did you read the story? The woman held a 17 year old kid (who was already "cowering in a corner") at gunpoint.

"Smith made the burglar call 911 as she kept her firearm pointed at him."

We're always hearing stories about "responsible gun owners". Well, how responsible is that? It's basically guns 101 that you don't point unless you intend to shoot. Luckily she didn't end up killing the kid, but it could quite easily have happened.
