Right!
And they should be allowed to carry guns into their schools during grammar school...
and we will become a safer, saner, and more courteous country.
David, what on Earth happens to your reasoning when you are dealing with this issue???
No harm came from
MY having done it,
nor from any other youthful citizen of Arizona that I knew of; quiet n peaceful.
We shot our guns on the schools' gunnery ranges; no big deal.
U r very prejudiced against the youth of America. I do not join in your disdain.
(The Blaze/AP) — A 14-year-old boy shot and nearly killed an intruder
who broke into his Phoenix home and pulled a gun on him while
he was watching his three younger siblings, police said Saturday.
The teen and his siblings, ages 8, 10 and 12, were at home alone
when a woman rang the doorbell on Friday. A common enough occurrence,
the boy still chose not to open the door because he didn’t recognize the woman.
Quickly escalating into a far more dangerous situation, the 14-year-old
rushed his siblings upstairs after he heard a loud bang on the door,
grabbing his father’s handgun on the way.
When he got to the top of the stairs, he saw an armed man break
through the front door and point a gun at him.
Acting swiftly, he reportedly shot the 37-year-old man, who was taken
to a hospital in extremely critical condition to undergo surgery. However,
he is expected to survive and will be booked into jail within the week
on counts of aggravated assault and burglary, police Officer James Holmes said.
The suspect did not get a shot off, according to police.
He also declined to release his name until he is booked into jail.
