Pistol Packing Miss America Refuses to be A Victim
April 21, 2007


Miss America 1944 Venus Ramey maybe 82 years old but she’s no push over. She confronted a stranger coming out of a building on her farm in Kentucky where in the recent past she has had some equipment stolen.
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.
“I didn’t even think twice. I just went and did it,” she said. “If they’d even dared come close to me, they’d be 6 feet under by now.”
Ramey then flagged down a passing motorist, who called 911.
When asked about the encounter Miss Venus said;
“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.
