Former Pageant Queen With Pink .38When 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.
Meghan Brown, a former Florida pageant queen, shot and killed 42-year-old Albert Franklin Hill during a home invasion March 12 at the 2,732-square-foot house she shares with her fiance in Tierra Verde, Fla.Hecks Yeah! Now I want a pink gun....

Gotta love these kind of stories.
Unfortunately, we must now await the follow-up story where the family of the "victim" decries this event, claims he was just turnin' his life around, and sues this young woman for the murder of their precious family member, who was only going to ask this "violent gun owner" for a cup of sugar. Then the greedy lawyers will prosecute her with any shred of evidence they can make up, while the liberals politically assassinate her on the airwaves and scream for more gun control.
Call me a cynic. Ha ha!

Girlfriend:"But, this is a free country! He should be able to go anywhere he wanted! He deserved [was entitled] to be there!
I wouldn't be surprised.

Lol, looks like I didn't speak too soon. This is the girlfriend of the dead criminal. "However, his girlfriend, Arielle Hope, told the newspaper after the shooting that he was changing his life. 'It's a shame everything went down the way it did,' she said." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1368677/Beauty-queen-Meghan-Brown-kills-burglar-pink-gun-fights-fianc.htmlNot that your boyfriend forced his way into a home, where he didn't belong, and attempted to rob these people and turn their lives upside down. Oh the hypocrisy of it all... You're psychic! The girl with the gun was scared to death, she had every right to kill him. He deserved it. If he was turning his life around, he wouldn't have done that.

Obviously you're exactly right you do have the right to defend yourself. "This is America and we have the right to be wherever we want" That's definitely taking the rights of a democracy out of context. Jersey you made the ultimate facetious post about shooting a guy who just wanted to borrow a cup of sugar. hahaha. I know it was for emphasis but it was extra funny in that presentation.

I have to make a commentary video about this. A pink gun. My father would kid about getting my mother a farm tractor and she would retort 'it will have to be a pink 1.' Or anything else that was not usually associated with women my mother would kiddingly agree to it if it was going to be pink. So this lady had a pink .38 caliber gun that's great.
Its not great that it had to come to a shooting. I do own guns and I do believe your right to bear arms. That's not to say you should just shoot at any noise and hope for the best.
I read the article and it looks like a pizza delivery driver and this intruder were in cahoots to rob houses in the neighborhood.
Here in the article the man said that his fiance wears a $60,000 dollar engagement ring, and when they have pizza delivered they often had to ask the delivery man for change from a $100.
Some of this can be helped on their own. In that neighborhood no doubt they have some money. The ring is something they have a right to have. If its your money and you came by it honestly then you buy and wear whatever you want. Fine again.
Don't flaunt your money to people who come to the house to deliver pizza. A $16, pizza and you show they guy you don't have anything smaller than a $100 bill? Mind you these are usually parttime jobs for after school high school or college or a 2nd job for people who 1 job isnt enough.
I'm not dissing pizza delivery people. Its an honest day's work. But you have no way of knowing what kind of person the delivery guy might be. My wife doesn't let service people in beyond the opening area of the house. We are by no means extreme wealth but its a safe way to do it. You're in out of the rain I'll get you your money. Tip you 3 to 5 bucks. Keep a $10 or $20 bill in the house for deliveries. Don't make them change a $100 hinting there's more where that came from.
All that being said, however, this robber did not have the right to break into the house and rob or create terror to those people and he got shot too bad for him.
No matter what anybody else says his action of being there proves he was not trying to straighten out his life he was hoping to steal fast money or valuables. So he bought himself 6 feet of earth.

i could never give change from a hundred dollars for pizza. it would creep me out knowing these pizza people know where my house is and I keep needing change from a hundred. also I hate when people play that card well they were trying to turn their life around. if that was so you would donate to a good cause. you would help abused animals. you know something good in life. you wouldn't break into someone's house and scare them to the point they have to defend themselves with a gun.

I am with you on that one. That's one think I don't miss about playing baseball. People who play that card. I hared that from no less than 200 people over 15 years. They're clean, they're fixing their life, they've come so far from where they started. How does a so called trying to reform house robber find himself in the house at the scene of a crime? That doesn't seem like anybody who is trying to turn his life around. Obviously that's someone trying to turn a profit.

None of them are going to change if they think stealing and pushing drugs is the way.
The path of least resistance is usually a dead end.
