NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT
10 Questions for Maya Angelou - Time Magazine
Discussion of guns begins exactly at 3:05.
Writer and activist Maya Angelou talks to TIME about her unusual relationship with her mother, why she likes guns, and why she has written seven autobiographies. Angelou recalled a time in her life when she fired a gun to scare off an intruder.
"I do like to have guns around."
"I was in my house in North Carolina. It was fall. I heard someone walking on the leaves. And somebody actually turned the knob. So I said, "Stand four feet back because I’m going to shoot now!"
"The police came by and said, 'Ms. Angelou, the shots came from inside the house.' I said, 'Well, I don’t know how that happened.'"
85 years brilliant and cheeky. Hard not to admire Ms. Angelou.
