Boy saves mom and siblings from obviously violent home invaders. Glad he was taught well.

OMG. outstanding I raise my hat to that family

How brave of him to have the presence of mind and cool head to fight back even after he was hit . Glad to hear his injury was minor . The thug is in deserved critical condition. I say deserved because I shudder to think of what their plans were for that women and her children .

Wow...what composure by the kid. He saved his family. I hope the one shitbag dies and the other rots in jail

When a kid does something heroic like this it is usually widely covered national news , I hope he gets the attention for his bravery that he deserves and that it is not kept quiet just because it involved a minor defending themselves and their family with a gun.

 

I hope we learn more about his story...I wonder if it was his own .22 . That would make it even better IMO. Kids touching guns is such a fear button..because when kids do not know how to use them or when they are kept from them rather than educated , accidents happen. Then the focus falls on the evil of the firearm when the real problem was not the firearm but the lack of education. Obviously you keep them locked away from younger children , but this is a shining example of how keeping guns in the house and familiarizing your children in the safe operation of them as soon as they are old enough is not taboo , and has positive outcomes.

Great..

Great Post!

Good Job to the little man......

Being that this was from 2010.. I'd say it's old news by now..

Yet another reason why children need to know how to properly handle firearms.

 

Reminds me of this one

Single shot 22 would have been useless. This is one case where she should have called the Police first.

Sandy,

 

This is exactly why I chose to put my son's .22 lever under his bed, Nanny-State be damned! It's a personal decision and if enough training takes place--the right one as evidenced by this outcome!

Did not realize the link was 2010..strange , it popped up in my Yahoo feed in a sidebar that said "related stories" . Sorry

That is scary..and she is very brave ..but I am really glad she did not have to face off 3 males ( one with a rifle of his own) with a single shot and only 2 bullets to boot. I hope they got her a better HD rifle since she exhibited the presence of mind to try and defend herself instead of just cowering. Brave little kid , and a lucky brave little kid.
