If I had a gun and some angry hooligan teenagers came after my son, I would confront them.

Even if you could easily lock yourself in your secure home and call the police?

Then you would be found guilty as well....the law is clear on this. 

The crowd of white kids outside was unarmed, according to the articles....they were only making drunken noise.

Going outside with a drawn gun into a situation like that suggests a profound ignorance of the law on the part of Mr. White, and ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking it.

Call the police yes, but staying inside is no guarantee of safety.

I've read the articles as well since I live nearby. These kids were on his property! They were threatning to harm his kid. And who cares if they were unarmed? They were four and he was only one, 50+ year old guy.

All White was doing was protecting his family.

May not be the law in Texas.

It was just plain stupid and bad tactics to boot. Why leave the protection of your house if you don’t have to? He should have armed himself, but as you have stated, stayed in the house and called the cops. If the “mob” broke in, kill ‘em all.
