Angelina Jolie: "I'd use a gun"

Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie has confessed she keeps a gun at home and would be prepared to use it.

Angelina Jolie has admitted she and husband Brad Pitt keep a gun at home and would be prepared to use it. "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them," she explained to the Mail On Sunday. "I bought original, real guns of the type we used in Tomb Raider for security. Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one. And yes, I'd be able to use it if I had to. I could handle myself. I think there are certain combat skills that would come out," she added before really getting going. "I tend to want to throw an elbow. I don't know why. I've learned all the punches, head butts and kicks – yet getting someone with my elbow is my first instinct. I think it's good for anybody to learn a skill when it comes to fight training – be it kung fu, boxing or kick-boxing – because self-defence is important. Brad and I want our kids to learn it. They're going to get into a fight some day, so they might as well learn how to take care of themselves. There's a side to me that people know is humanitarian, and there's a side to me that's a mummy. But there's also the side that likes to get down and dirty and run and jump around and fire guns. I don't want to lose touch with that." Blimey!
