Perhaps she would have recognized them and been able to give the police the names of the kidnappers that night.

Perhaps. Have you seen a report that she knew them well enough to identify them?

Or perhaps she was packing a Glock 21 and could have dropped their asses right there.

That's also a "perhaps". But, knowing how much it costs to use a shooting range in Philly, I doubt that even if grandmom was licenced to carry and even assuming that she had as expensive a gun as a Glock, that she would have been proficient enough to drop a hostage taker without seriously endangering the child hostage.

Have you ever shot a handgun against a "hostage shield" target? It's humbling.
