"It didn't create a stir when 82-year-old Dorcas Lowery took her firearm into the Dolores County Sheriff's Office to ask advice about the proper barrel length for a sawed-off shotgun."
"Lowery got the gun to fend off intruders after a rash of break-ins at her place along U.S. 491. She sawed off the end so the gun would be lighter and easier to handle. She has several other guns and really can't remember a time when guns and outlaws weren't part of her life."
" 'We've always had to have guns to protect the chickens from coyotes and hawks,' says the trim, straight-backed, lipsticked and turquoise-bejeweled octogenarian. 'And Dove Creek was a hideout for outlaws for a long time.' "
"Lowery wanted her new shotgun because she figures that just the sound of the mechanism being pulled back to load the chamber would alert most would-be burglars to the error of their ways." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
