82-year-old former Miss America stops thief by shooting his tires out
9:07 am on April 20, 2007
After confronting a man she said was stealing from her Kentucky farm, Ramey pulled out a gun and shot out a tire on his truck so he couldn’t leave, allowing police to arrest him and two others.
“He was probably wetting his pants,” Ramey said Thursday from her home in Waynesburg, about 140 miles south of Cincinnati…
She had to balance on her walking stick as she pulled out a snub-nosed .38-caliber handgun.
“I didn’t even think twice. I just went and did it. If they’d even dared come close to me, they’d be 6 feet under by now.”
Ramey then tried to flag down people driving by. When one stopped, she asked them to call 911. Eventually, three people were arrested - one at the scene and two others walking on a nearby road.
“They’ve been stealing from me for years. Those good-for-nothing slobs,” she said.

Looks like the "duplicate post police" are at it again. It's a hobby, you know.

Rosie O’Donnell deeply saddened. Gun control advocates would never grasp this.
“I’m trying to live a quiet, peaceful life and stay out of trouble, and all it is, is one thing after another,” she said.
Great story!
What a great post. Thanks for putting it up.
Freaking cool. Didn't know you could do that with the FReepmail system. Do you know if something similar can be used for pinglists? Some time back I make a shell script that would post to a list of people so as to enable some folks to automate pings, but it would be really cool if a carefully constructed URL could do the same thing.
