WAYNESBURG, KY. — Miss America 1944 has a talent that probably has never appeared on a beauty pageant stage: She fired a handgun to shoot out a vehicle's tires and stop an intruder.For the full story please click here.
Venus Ramey, 82, confronted a man on her farm in south-central Kentucky last week after she saw her dog run into a storage building where thieves had previously made off with old farm equipment.
Ramey said the man told her he would leave. "I said, 'Oh, no you won't,' and I shot their tires so they couldn't leave," Ramey said.
She had to balance on her walker as she pulled out a snub-nosed .38-caliber handgun.

marallyn - OTOH they didn't know how many more bullets she had!
Old ladies are amazing.
I'm surprised the kickback from the .38 didn't knock her off her feet!
MBM,
Guts is a good description.
Chana,
At her age does she still qualify as a girl.
Annie,
Yes they are.
Babka,
She is a tough broad.
A .38 is a fairly small gun, it doesn't have too much kickback.
Jack,
If she were pointing a .38 at me, I would call her anything to make her happy!
Annie,
That is true.
Chana,
I hear you.
