A Florida beauty queen put a definitive end to a violent 3:00 AM home invasion at her residence - with several rounds from her pink .38 revolver.

Her fiance said she didn't shoot too well at the range, but she put the rounds where they needed to go when it counted most.

Details here.

Guns are dangerous. Imagine what could have happened if the convict had gotten the gun away from her. They both might be dead. They should have called 911 and waited for the police to handle the situation. :biggrinjester:

Glad their both OK. Hmmm... He's 42 and she's 25.. I think he got the good end of the deal on this one. I'm also thinking about becoming an Arborist. Seems they are making good money these days. Being from Florida maybe he works on Columbian trees :lol::

That's what Mayor Bloomberg would have done. Someone should send him this story.

Atta Girl!


From the reports, sounds like she zippered him too. (shots in the chest, back, groin, and thigh).

Four shots, four hits. Hard to improve on that. ;-)

She might be all beauty queen on the outside, but she's all Sheepdog on the inside :patriot:
Seems her aim at the range was just due to a lack of necessity. When it counted, she could hit center of mass and the groin area just fine. :tiphat:

Wearing a $60,000 engagement ring and paying the pizza man with hundred dollar bills "might" have made them a target? Jeez, ya' think?

...if the pizza man'd been a good little boy, it wouldn't have mattered...evil is as evil does...he deserved those 4 and one more...the guy who did the invasion prolly woulda loved to share with him...wonder if he could be prosecuted for being a conspirator in a crime ending in a death???
...pretty as she is, she should keep the pistol much closer...never mind the ring!!!

“We live in a very prominent area and my fiancee wears a $60,000 engagement ring,” he said. “The pizza man knew we had money because sometimes we needed change for a $100 bill when he came to deliver pizza.”
This whole story sounds like it was written for the Sunday supplement in the Living Section rather than a crime report. I think this man is bragging and is plain stupid for saying this to a reporter. Now the next robber knows where to make a big score and that they have a gun. Maybe he should have told them what room in his 2,732-square-foot house that his fiance keeps the gun.

Yeah. People who have actually been the victim of a crime sometimes tend to be highly motivated not to be a victim again.
