Last Christmas Robert Planthaber bought his fiance, Meghan Brown, the most important gift he will probably ever get her: a pink .38.
Brown, a 25-year-old former beauty queen, used the gun to defend herself and her fiance from an attacker on March 12, according to Fox News. At 3 a.m. Frank Hill, a 42-year-old ex-con, allegedly broke into the couple's home outside of Tierra Verde, Fla. and grabbed the 110-pound Brown by the mouth and nose.
Hill was draggin Brown upstairs when Planthaber, her fiance, heard the commotion and attacked. During the scuffle, Brown was able to escape and grab her gun. She then shot Hill, who was now beating her husband.
Brown shot Hill several times, hitting him in the chest, goring, thigh and back, according to Fox. He was pronounced dead at the scene by authorities.
Hill had a criminal record that included burglary, battery, drug possession and grand theft. He was also served a 13-year prison term in 1987, according to Fox.
Authorities are investigating the crime, but they believe Hill was planning on burglarizing the couple's 2,732-square-foot home.
Panthaber said he took Brown to the range a few times to practice after he got her the gun … it seems that the practice paid off.

Another incident where a gun in the right place at the right time probably saved a life. And the gun was stylish when she did it too. I wonder if it matched her outfit? ;-)

I love seeing no good sacks of crap getting what they deserve. Way to go!
Another waste of society off the street thanks to a lady with a pink gun! Now if we could get rid of more scum like this!
I put this comment on another page, but it belongs here. Pink pistol, eh? Gives me an idea for a Christmas/birthday present for Mrs. Gyrene-not that it would make much of a difference. I told her about this story yesterday, and she said she'd grab one of mine, if it were more handy
Good shooting, Lady. Law-abiding citizens 1, Crooks 0. As it should be.
The only thing that would have made the story better is if she would have used a cheese grater.
Take that anti-gun enthusiasts. Guns do save lives, in the hands of law abiding citizens, who at least have a basic background in gun control.
I think I may be falling in love---it's a shame she's already married.
That burglar picked the wrong lady to mess with. "Hell hath no fury-----"
I love happy endings.
Too bad for Hill. Better sooner than later I guess. The inherent danger in breaking into a home or robbing someone is that they may have a gun to shoot you with.
