Armed Beauty Queen Fatally Shoots Intruder in Florida Home Invasion - FoxNews.com

Quote:



When a burly ex-convict forced his way into a posh Florida home last week, he had no idea what awaited him -- a 25-year-old beauty queen with a pink .38-caliber handgun.

The woman’s fiance, Robert Planthaber, said in an interview that he was quickly awakened by the altercation and ran to Brown’s side.
"I attacked him and took a severe beating to the head," Planthaber told FoxNews.com. "But I got him off of her long enough for her to scramble to the room where she keeps her pink .38 special.”

Some help the boyfriend was....if not for that gun, they would both be dead!!


Guns are not evil......it's people that are evil. She used that gun the RIGHT WAY!

Good for both of them. Although, I do agree with her fiance that "she was not a good shot at the range." However, as a result of this incident I expect that she will be spending more time at the range.

The important thing is that she continued shooting until the intruder was dead. Never just wound a dangerous animal, always finish it off.

The boyfriend is a total toolbox...

Quote:
Panthaber, a 42-year-old arborist, said he believes he and his fiancee were targeted because of their wealth.

“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.”
What kind of idiot tries to ask the pizza kid to break a $100 bill?

Notice she never would have gotten to the gun if not for her husband buying her a few seconds.

An important point is defending yourself is to hit or shoot first and do not stop until the person attacking you is immobilized. The goal is to STOP THE ASSAULT! NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS! There is no fair or unfair in a deadly fight. There is only winning.

Good guys 1, bad guy 0. That's the way it should be. At least the taxpayer doen't have to pay to lock this guy up for another year or two this way.
