Here She Comes, Miss .38 Snubnose

I'm not sure what the 1944 Miss America winner did for the talent portion of her competition, but in her later years she definately has a talent for shooting:

Tough isn't a word necessarily associated with Miss America, but three thieves arrested after their truck tires were shot out by 82-year-old Venus Ramey might beg to differ.

Ramey, who won the elite beauty crown in 1944, confronted one of the three robbers on her farm in Waynesburg, Ky., about 140 miles south of Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported.

"He was probably wetting his pants," said Ramey, who balanced on her walking stick as she pulled out a snub-nosed .38-caliber handgun.

Maybe that's why she won the title and not Miss Congeniality.
