SHe appears to be a former stanford medical student.

A BB gun???

Is this some kind of a joke?

1. A pellet pistol is not a firearm.
2. A pellet gun can be construed as a weapon akin to a slingshot, a pepper spray or a broom.
3. Brandishing a weapon in the perceived defense of property against invasion is the only way to let the invader know to halt.
4. Women in isolated areas have every right to "brandish" a weapon for defense, lest they join the "Dial 911 and Die" club.
5. The challenger of the property line has a well established machinery to resolve the difference that will, in consequence of the resolution, find the Sheriff giving the notice. This is bad mojo.
