Gun Violence Claims Life of Contours Express Franchisee (UPDATED)
November 21, 2008 by Sean Kelly
Filed under CONTOURS EXPRESS
Contours Express franchise owners are mourning the tragic death of Winnsboro, TX franchise owner Joy Glasgow.
Both Joy Glasgow and her daughter, Lauren Miller, moved to Winnsboro from Oregon, and opened a Contours Express women’s fitness franchise last year. Both mother and daughter worked at the center, which had been growing in membership.
According to a KLTV report:
Just before 8:00 am Monday, the Wood County Sheriff’s Department made a welfare check at a home in the 3900 block of CR 4660. That’s when deputies found the body of 53 year old Joy Elizabeth Glasgow with a gunshot wound. KLTV 7’s Molly Reuter spoke with those that knew her today, and says the news of her death has quickly spread through the Winnsboro community.
About a year ago, Joy Glasgow opened a fitness center for women called Contours Express. This morning, a sign hung on the front door saying ‘closed till further notice’. Those that knew her told us that Glasgow’s daughter worked at the fitness center with her, and Glasgow often slept at the gym as well. Some of Glasgow’s clients drove by the fitness center this morning in disbelief over what happened.
“I couldn’t believe it you know I thought she was just a good lady, and I was really shocked,” said Renee Healy, who works out at the fitness center.
Police reportedly have a “person of interest,” who is in custody on outstanding warrants.
Our condolences go out to Ms. Miller, and to all of Joy Glasgow’s family and friends.
* * * * * UPDATE * * * * * *
According to KLTV 7:
Authorities charged 31 year old Alvin Milliken of Mount Vernon Thursday with capital murder. He’s accused of shooting and killing 53 year old Joy Elizabeth Glasgow… Milliken was dating Glasgow’s daughter, and had a history of violence.
Wood County authorities say 53 year old Joy Glasgow was actually a witness in at least one of the criminal cases pending against Milliken.
According to the arrest affidavit, in the past year, Glasgow’s daughter has filed two separate police reports against Milliken, her boyfriend, for abusing her.
The arrest affidavit goes on to say, “The defendant had exercised control over the victim’s daughter for the entire relationship and the victim was the only thing standing in the way of the defendant’s money and total domination of Glasgow’s daughter.”

What a senseless tragedy. 3 lives ruined by a guy with a “history of violence” who never should have been allowed to have a gun in the first place.
God bless the NRA.
No Sean, there are far more than three lives affected by this brutal murder… I never met Joy personally, but my friends tell me she was a wonderful, sweet, person. I also doubt that Millikin was “allowed” to possess a firearm any more than he was “allowed” the controlled substance that he was found with.
But lets blame the NRA for fighting for our rights to protect ourselves against losers like Alvin, hell lets go ahead and blame the weapon he chose, as if it had a life of it’s own, but god forbid we blame Alvin! God forbid we blame the Texas Criminal Justice System for letting him out of prison less than a month prior to the murder.
God forbid we open our eyes…
Donny
No, let’s thank the NRA for fighting anything approaching a gun law.
That way, we can protect Alvin’s right to bear arms a month out of prison. And William Balfour’s right to kill Jennifer Hudson’s family. Heck, even Plaxico Burress needs the right to defend himself in case his legs attack him in a nightclub.
Thank God the founding fathers protected the rights of 8-year-old Christopher Bizilj to shoot himself with a machine gun at a gun show.
God forbid we open our eyes.
No one “protects the rights of criminals”, Sean… That’s one thought that you’ll never entertain. If every gun in the world was banned, criminals would still have them. We would then have no way to protect ourselves without running to the kitchen drawer for a dull steak knife when an intruder breaks in carrying a pistol.
Yes, accidents happen and the case of Christopher Bizilj was damn unfortunate, it wasn’t a “gun show”, but still a tradedy, but hey, lets not blame his dumb ass father, lets blame the gun. Using that argument we can just go ahead and ban every vehicle that was ever used in a homicide, every baseball bat and overpass bridge.
Lets ban spoons for making people fat.
“Saying guns kill people is like saying spoons made Rosie O’donell fat”
With a history of violence, there are plenty of laws that would have prevented this crime. Instant background checks are done on all gun purchasers. In fact, a recent FBI study found that criminals do NOT attempt to purchase guns legally.
http://calgunlaws.com/Docs/CGL%20NEWS/Chapter_Four_of%20_Violent_Encounters_%20FBI_Report.PDF
In fact, where gun laws have been lessened for law-abiding citizens, violent crime has decreased, such is the case with the issuance of concealed weapons permits (now in 40 states).
http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp
http://www.gunfacts.info
You see, Sean, there are no gun laws to prevent criminals from owning guns. Recent bans in Australia and the UK have seen rampant violent crime increases. No prohibition is going to protect you from violence. Thank God for the NRA’s sensibility to protect an individual’s right to protect themselves.
Why not make anthrax legal?
Saying biological weapons kill people is like saying spoons make Rosie O’Donnell fat.
Thanks for realizing my point, Sean… Is Anthrax legal? Not hardly… Do “bad guys” (terrorists) possess it? History tells us that they have and most likely do.
Are pipe bombs legal? No, but they just found a house full of them in Dallas.
Laws are pointed at the law abiding citizen, the criminals couldn’t possibly care less.
Comparing Anthrax to firearms is grasping at straws… Anthrax serves no good purpose while firearms are tools. I can turn anything from a SUV all the way down to a pencil into a menacing weapon, but they are still just tools.
I alone chose whether to use my tools like a responsible citizen or to misuse them.
I have always believed that if people would put the same money and energy into keeping hardened criminals like Alvin Millikin in prison, we would have extremely minimal crime.
But God forbid we open our eyes.
That guy down the street just used a gun, which he was not allowed by law to own, a gun he was not allowed by law to possess, to commit murder, which he was not allowed by law to do.
Therefore, we should pass a law which would prevent the person he murdered from possessing a gun.
Yup, that makes a lot of sense.
Pops - Not yet too old to recognise evil when I see it.
I’m pro-choice. That means the person with the gun CHOOSEs whether he/she want to act responsibly or not. Criminals, murderers, etc., aren’t criminals and murders because of guns. They are criminals and murderers no matter what. Making restrictive gun laws is counter-productive. It makes the populace defenseless. Crime will thrive. It really IS that simple.
Sean, has the use of Anthrax been proven anywhere to make people more safe? I don’t think so…
If you’d read the links I posted, you’d see that the use of guns by law-abiding citizens prevents crime and makes everyone safer… For instance,
“Fact: Guns prevent an
estimated 2.5 million
crimes a year, or 6,849
every day.65 Often the gun
is never fired and no blood
(including the criminal’s) is
shed.”
Fact: Every day, 550 rapes,
1,100 murders, and 5,200
other violent crimes are prevented just by showing a gun. In less than 0.9% of these instances is
the gun ever actually fired.67
Fact: 60% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they knew
the victim was armed. 40% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes
when they thought the victim might be armed.68
Fact: Felons report that they avoid entering houses where people are at home because they fear
being shot.69
Fact: 59% of the burglaries in Britain, which has tough gun control laws, are “hot burglaries”70
which are burglaries committed while the home is occupied by the owner/renter. By contrast, the
U.S., with more lenient gun control laws, has a “hot burglary” rate of only 13%.71
Fact: Washington D.C. has essentially banned gun ownership since 1976and has a murder rate
of 56.9 per 100,000. Across the river in Arlington, Virginia, gun ownership is less restricted.
There, the murder rate is just 1.6 per 100,000, less than three percent of the Washington, D.C.
rate.72
All from http://www.gunfacts.info
Or, compare FL’s success with decreasing violent crime after the introduction of a concealed weapons permit law to all law-abiding citizens in 1987.
Florida’s homicide rate decreased by 37% while the rest of the US’s homicide rate only decreased by 0.4% between 1987 and 1996.
From http://www.justfacts.com/guncontrol.asp#Right-To-Carry%20Laws
Or,
Fact: Firearm availability appears to be particularly useful in avoiding rape. Australia and the
United Kingdom virtually banned handgun ownership. During the same period handgun
ownership in the United States steadily rose. Yet the rate of rape decreased in the United States,
and skyrocketed in the other countries.
From http://www.gunfacts.info
Don’t compare irrelevant weapons and facts to the consistent positive use of firearms in the US. It only hurts your case and makes you sound a bit unconcerned with fact and somewhat willfully ignorant…
You’ve got your gun statistics that prove your point. The anti-gun people have their statistics that prove their point. The extremists on their side demonize hunters and pro-gun advocates. The extremists among you dismiss them all as tree-huggers and evil “liberals.”
Your website calls me a tree hugger and a “liberal,” when you know nothing about me. That’s the problem. You instantly attack anyone without a gunrack and an NRA sticker and you close your eyes to the existence of real problems. You operate on the premise that you can’t give an inch or the liberal stormtroopers will be kicking down your doors, and taking your deer rifles.
Sorry to disappoint, but I’m not anti-gun. I like guns. I’ve shot every type of gun in every caliber. I’m not a hunter, but I’m not against it. I shot skeet and did a lot of of target shooting when I was younger. My brother was a cop and I spent a lot of time at the range. I’ve promoted clients that ran gun stores, hunting charters, and write about some of them favorably on this blog.
Yet, amazingly, I can still admit there’s a huge problem. There are way, way too many handguns in the wrong hands. Yesterday a gun store was burglarized and now 70 more untraceable guns are on the street. We had a robbery not long ago and the teenage crackhead idiots had machine pistols. High school students walking into malls and schools with bags of guns isn’t even shocking any more.
There’s a real problem. It’s a shame the pro-gun people don’t put their time, effort and considerable resources into coming up with solutions instead of acting as if there’s not.
I’ll wager that those machine pistols were not legally purchased. If the civilians were to arm, and not cry out for more “gun control”, this stuff would not be happening nearly as often as it does. Benjamin Franklin said something to the effect of “A man who trades freedom for temporary security deserves neither”. Freedom of inconceivable value. I’m not willing to give it up, nor should you be, because some people choose to act irresponsibly. Let’s stay strong. Keep the scum at the bottom, don’t let it rule us.
There is a solution, and I think it is a shame that you shun it, for what ever reason.
Anon. wrote: There is a solution, and I think it is a shame that you shun it, for what ever reason.
I admit I missed it. What’s the solution?
Let the citizens bear arms. Design the system so that honest, law-abiding citizens can easily obtain firearms. You can’t make a law that will stop criminals from doing so. They are criminals, they don’t obey the law. An armed would-be-victim is the most effective deterrent. If there is a good chance that the would-be-victim is ready and willing to defend himself effectively, violent encounters will decrease.
Good stuff Anon!
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
—————————
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
—————————-
Guatemala established gun control in 1964.. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million ‘educated’ people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
—————————–
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
It will never happen here? I bet the Aussies said that too!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won’t see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind him of this history lesson.
With Guns………….We Are ‘Citizens’.
Without Them……..We Are ‘Subjects’..
During W.W. II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED !
Note: Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard U 1919-1921 & was Naval Attache to the U. S. 1925-28. Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor & our Army had been deprived of funding & was ill prepared to defend the country.
It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U. S. & knew that almost all households had guns.
Let the citizens bear arms. Design the system so that honest, law-abiding citizens can easily obtain firearms.
Well then you have your wish.
Your solution is already in place.
I guess there’s no problem.
Thanks for clearing that up. I feel much better.
Donny:
Thanks for the facts.
If we establish gun laws, we will be exterminated.
History is clear. Thanks.
I’m going to back away slowly now and will make no sudden moves.
God bless you. Carry on.
Please cross me off you tree hugger enemy list.
I see the light. I’m with you. Really.
Don’t even bother trying to reason with these guys. Country music, Nascar and lead-infused deer meat has rotted their already limited brains and rendered them incapable of rational discourse. Luckily, they thin their own herd around this time each year. The drunken deer hunters that have heart attacks, shoot each other, themselves, houses and cars show just what a crack militia they would make.
Research shows that more than 60% of gun owners are dangerously if not morbidly obese. Perhaps they forgot a well-trained militia might consider calisthenics. Forget karate and judo, try a push-up once in a while.
They think they’ll defend America from their La-Z-Boys in their sagging Budweiser and pizza stained Dale Earnhardt t-shirts. Meanwhile, they keep voting for the politicians that are screwing them over and causing their plants to close. Blame it on them Foreigners.
It’s a sad and sorry bunch who haven’t entertained an original thought in decades. But their influence is done. The past 8 years have made it abundantly clear how dangerous power can be in the hands of imbeciles.
Tree smoocher: back away slowly. Don’t stir them up. I visited their firearms forum site. These guys are seriously… out there.
If you’d like to have a civilized discussion without employing ad hominem attacks, go ahead. If not, please do not participate. If you took offense to the term “tree-hugger”, then why not set an example by taking the high road? Why stoop lower? Maybe gun owners really aren’t what you think they are. To quote Donny, “but God forbid we open our eyes”.
Isn’t it hilarious how some people tend to resort to childish banter, insults and sarcastic comments when the debate reaches a plateau and there just doesn’t seem to be any good material left.
Sean, I’ve misjudged you, I thought you’d be capable of carrying on a debate like adults, where opposite views could be examined.
I am quite capable of entertaining opposing views without embracing them or getting my feelings hurt.
Sadly, you and Tree smoocher (same person?) aren’t ready for that.
I’m sorry for you.
Donny
This is a difficult problem! I’m sure that our forefathers had no idea that America would become a largely urban society with millions living together in close proximity in great cities –and that great numbers of citizens would want to be armed for self defense and a lesser number would want to arm themselves to commit crimes.
The Gun Industry has always been very BIG Business and is recession proof. In fact, the Gun Industry is like franchising. It picks up in recessions when “fear” increases in society. It is like alcohol and tobacco —When misused, guns can kill you! But, in the meantime, apparently the revenue it produces cannot be underestimated or sacrificed to principle.
I’m sure there are more innocents killed by guns than there are innocents saved by guns —-and this should be the controlling issue of gun control, for the greater good of the citizenry.
But, come on! We need laws to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill. We need to licence only those persons who can prove that they are competent to carry a gun and have need to carry a gun within the corporate limits of cities. Hunting licenses and hunting rifles should be data coordinated on data bases. Hand guns should be registered and licensed only on a “need” basis.
Can anyone in good faith defend the “unknown” huge amount of guns in modern cities today?
It may, however, be too late to do anything because the “us” and “them” folks wear their political labels and our Congress doesn’t want to offend big money and a big influence like the NRA.
If you can’t carry a gun into Congress or the Courts, why are guns being carried into skating rinks and public places, and now, even our courts and our universities are not free from gun violence!
The Gun Industry has always been very BIG Business and is recession proof. In fact, the Gun Industry is like franchising.
It’s easier to buy a gun than a franchise. At least there’s a ten day waiting period before you can buy a franchise.
I guess the problem is Sean, that you forget that gun laws are ALREADY in place which would have prevented this guy from owning a gun.
Your argument that real gun laws aren’t there is fututile and ignorant. The FBI study I’ve already linked you to showed that criminals purchase their firearms illegally.
Tree Smoocher, you’re barking up the wrong tree bud… You’ll find that people interested in firearms are often farrrr more educated than you in many areas. The website Sean refers to is frequented by professionals in many areas.
I don’t know how one prevents a criminal from committing a crime. Perhaps they had the answer in the UK and Australia but quickly lost it as the criminals took over with the guns they weren’t supposed to have?…
carol cross, the only real defense we’ve seen to ‘gun violence’ is the ‘gun rights’ legislation offered to those legally licensed to possess concealed carry firearms.
In those states where concealed carry has been implemented, violent crime has decreased significantly.
We already have laws that prevent the mentally ill and criminals from possessing firearms. I’m tired of hearing this moronic line… There’s no enforcement standard to regulate these folks. If there were, the ACLU would snatch the shirt collars of every LEO involved in aggravating these folks (yet another liberal policy problem).
Every dang firearm transferred from a firearms dealer to an individual must be processed in accordance with the state’s rules regarding transfer. EVERY state requires a background check (in most cases-instant by call-in). Private transfers are not regulated in most states and cannot be regulated. Gun show private transactions are not a problem, as has been proven by statistical evidence regarding crime.
The real problem is real criminals being released from jail repeatedly, who continue to steal firearms and purchase other firearms from people who stole them… What are you liberals going to do about that?… What regulation can you pass to prevent CRIME? Come on, think (not feel) about it…
With the painfully obvious notion that decreased legislation on legal gun owners actually decreases crime, how can you know-nothings continue to spout that the NRA is failing us? How? Tell me, please…
You’re like a weeping sack of idiocy as it stands in your accusations…
Josh! While it may gratify you that “concealed carry laws” appear to prevent crimes, according to statistics — why is this? Are these statistics to be believed and trusted? Do professional criminals migrate to those states where “concealed carry” is against the law? And, is this why crime is down in those States where concealed carry is legal?
Isn’t most gun violence random, and not always premeditatedm and isn’t it the prevalence and the easy supply of guns in our society that is producing the widespread death of innocents?
We are a violent nation who celebrates fictional violence as entertainment for the masses. Our “fictional” culture of violence is producing children who kill other children and mentally ill adults who have easy access to guns and want to kill randomly as an exit strategy. Guns are mainstream and the weapon of choice for those who want to kill animals and humans.
The NRA, in my opinion, makes no effort to understand what guns are doing in our sick society or to work toward solutions. They are smug and selfish in their protection of their sacred constitutional right to bear arms and refuse to look at the reality of what is happening in our cities in the 21st Century.
The only way that the demand for guns can be lessened is by controlling the supply of guns, and only the government has the power to do this. It may be true that you can’t prevent crime through regulation but the punishment for a crime committed with a gun is greater and is already in place in the law. If the government made it more difficult to acquire guns and controlled the supply and easy access to guns, this would perhaps mean that fewer innocents would be killed by guns because there would be fewer guns in circulation.
But, of course, the Gun business is a Big Bucks Industry and the lobbyists wouldn’t want the government shooting down any of their “big bucks” clients who have the support of the NRA.
I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Josh! The war on Guns will be just like the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs —-talked about but never won. But, of course, we did win the war “sort of” against cigarettes. You never know —now that there is a liberal in the White House!
you liberals
you know-nothings
You’re like a weeping sack of idiocy…
Josh:
Save the name calling and straw man insults for the firearms forum, where you can avoid valid points and constructive debate by dismissing anyone with an alternative view as a “tree hugger” “liberal” or “Know-nothing.”
Over here, we ask you to attack the argument, not the arguer. Cool?
You mention gun theft as a problem. Locally, someone broke into a particular gun store and stole 70 handguns and a bunch of ammunition. So now there’s 70 more untraceable, deadly weapons in the hands of Philadelphia drug dealers and gang members. In Philly, seems like every month another policeman is being gunned down.
What would be wrong with requiring greater security from gun store owners? Jewelry stores clear out their cases and lock their diamonds in a safe each night, yet these guys busted a window and glass cases and made off with a cache of weapons. Stats or no, people will die as a result of those weapons and ammo being on the street.
” Well then you have your wish.
Your solution is already in place.
I guess there’s no problem.
Thanks for clearing that up. I feel much better ”
Oh, we do? How do you explain “no-issue” states, or “may-issue” states? Should whether or not you are allowed to exercise your free speech be up to your local authorities? You are yet to address the underlying problem with your argument. Take the title of this page, for example, “Gun Violence Claims Life of…” Why is “gun violence” at fault? Why not the PERSON who committed murder? If a person jumps off (or is thrown off of) a bridge, is the bridge at fault, and are the drivers who utilize it for its purpose at fault? Then why are thousands of Americans’ rights taken away because the lowest form of human life abuses liberty?
I believe people should have the right to own guns. If they take the people’s right to own guns the only one’s that will have guns are the bad guys. If someone breaks in your house and they have a gun doesn’t it make sense to have a gun to protect yourself?
People need to make sure their guns aren’t loaded so children do not hurt themselves.
My daughter’s boyfriend in high school accidently got killed because his friend pointed a gun at him and he didn’t know it was loaded. He pulled the trigger and it turned into a tragedy. People need to be responsible in that area.
When people snap mentally and they are out to kill someone they will do it. Guns or not.
I do agree with Sean that stores that sell guns should put those guns away at night in a place no one can just break into and steal the guns.
I, too agree that gun stores should properly store guns as to help prevent theft. But why continue to target the gun stores, responsible gun owners, etc.? Let’s punish the real criminals.
Barb, I’m sorry to hear about the tragedy involving your daughter’s high-school boyfriend. I’m just glad you haven’t responded to the incident like others may have…call for more safeties, require gun safes, etc. Failure to properly handle the firearm is what caused this tragedy. Not the firearm itself. Learn from others’ mistakes. Let’s be more responsible next time, teach children responsibility, and not call for foam padding on every hard surface.
i am joy glasgows son i appreciate all your comments but lets clear one thing up owning guns is a constitutional right that miliken vacated when he chose to use drugs and beat women the chose he made was horrible i miss my mother terribly but it no more the guns fault than it is yours or mine , alvin is a coward and a cold blooded killer who drove for twenty minutes at approximately 4 am solely to kill my mother as she slept . i hope you can all find comfort in knowing she was saved and now resides in heaven. i struggle everyday knowing that someone went into her home and hurt her that is so hard to accept but i pray daily for justice to be served , and the rights of law abiding gun owners be upheld
Jason,
Greatly sorry for your loss. Prayers sent. Remember, God brings home the good ones first.
Hi I am 10 years old and I am Joy Glasglows Grand daughter! I thank you for all the comments I miss my grandma dearly and no one should ever violet someones property just to hurt them. I am glad though that she is up in heaven and couldn’t get hurt any more! I want you peoples to know that having a gun is a right not a punishment for another person! In love My grandma and my family you should never treat your family or friends bad because you don’t know what could happen. Bye
