ChadShaft 0 Posted June 4, 2013 Love this story, you never get to see enough of these. This kid disarmed a robber and then used his own gun against him. http://www.inquisitr.com/686711/9-year-old-fights-off-home-invader-with-the-crooks-own-gun/ Brooklyn, NY – A 9-year-old boy staved off two home invaders on Monday after he managed to snatch one of their guns and fire a few warning shots. Think of it as Home Alone meets Die Hard. The two would-be robbers entered the 80th street house in Canarsie around 6 pm and ordered two teenagers inside to get on the floor, said police. The only other person in the house at the time was the 9-year-old boy, who was upstairs. One of the suspects went upstairs and tried to force his way into a second-floor bedroom. This is when the 9-year-old decided to intervene, slamming the door on the suspect’s arm, which caused him to drop the gun. I’d like to say he said something awesome like “Need a hand?” but that wasn’t in any of the reports. Anyway, the boy recovered the fallen gun and fired a few shots at the suspect, said police. This freaked out the would-be robber, so he and his partner left without their gun. Luckily, no one was hit by bullets or really hurt at all, except maybe the robbers’ pride after being out-foxed by a 9-year-old. Police are currently searching for suspects. Such stories are not entirely uncommon, but this is probably the first one in a while where such a young child managed to wield a gun effectively and without causing harm to himself. In January, a Houston boy (age 15) fended off two home intruders with an assault-style rifle, wounding one of them. Both suspects were taken into custody, and the 15-year-old boy, as well as his 12-year-old sister, were unharmed. What do you think? Cool story, or is the image of a 9-year-old boy with a gun too uncomfortable regardless of the outcome? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albanian 121 Posted June 4, 2013 I love America, one reason being children under the age of 13 can adequately defend themselves against two grown adults with ill intentions. Amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soju 153 Posted June 5, 2013 He didn't kill them so his life must not have really been in danger. He is a criminal and should be in jail for that. Oh wait, wrong thread...or is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_j 0 Posted June 6, 2013 I like the nappen theory that if you shoot a burglar with hollow points they can charge him with B&E and illegal possession of hollow points. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
