I am told that this would have been illegal in California. The homeowner could have been sent to jail there for three years for illegal storage of a weapon.

In California, I would be in jail ad three perps would be worm food.

I am told that this would have been illegal in California.

And in MA, NYC, DC, Chicago, Philly, etc. The state views self defense as a much more serious crime than burgulary or assault, because if you have the will and the means to defend yourself from unorganized thieves, then

1. you might begin to think that the state's jackbooted legions are unnecessary
2. you might consider that you could defend yourself from the biggest criminal organization of all, and
3. you might question the self appointed authority know as the government

all of these much more threatening to the government than the robbery or murder of a serf

This story sounds effed up.
How did they get a gun to the kids head if they were locked outside?

[nufsed]

...........and worse.......you might have a gun.

police received a call from Ashtabula County Medical Center

This happened about 20 miles from me. Ashtabula is one of the poorest counties in Ohio.

The Star Beacon is a small county paper typically runs about 1 to 15 pages daily most of which are sports and classifieds

I am surprised that some one in Arizona is looking up Ashtabula news on the internet. Are you from the area?

“The bullet went in the leg and out through his buttocks,” the mother said.

Kudoes to the kid, but he needs time at the range. His aim's just a hair too low.

Hey kid - good job! Next time, aim for center-body mass!

you can't blame the kid for not aiming at the center of mass as you or I would have done. But I forsee the criminals coming back for a bit of revenge. When they're dead, the only thing that happens is that you see their mommas telling everyone on the news that their wonderful chillun didn't deserve to die, and that the homeowner overreacted, etc. But the fact remains, the recidivism rate among dead robbers is very low.

Yes - can't have the serfs on equal footing with the jackboots now can we?

[toomuchcoffee]

Broke the window in the door, put the barrel through the window and pointed it at the kid’s head. Sheesh!

[mylife]

Of course!

our old family farm used to be there, spent all my summers as a teen there - know the area well. The name jumped right out at me.

He missed the "bridge of the nose shot" in my opinion.

And keep firing until they quit complaining.

agreed

“But the fact remains, the recidivism rate among dead robbers is very low. “

“And keep firing until they quit complaining.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i never thought of it that way..

I guess you’re talking about a minor possessing a handgun. Actually, it looks like he could do so legally, if he has written permission from a parent or guardian.

[Lazarus Starr]

The story ended well enough. Imagine if there hadn’t been a gun in that house... We’d be reading yet another story of kids murdered in a robbery.

[marktwain]

No, I got the story from Keep and Bear Arms.

This is exactly the type of story that is regularly spiked by the MSM. That makes it all the more important to get the word out.

Who knows how many stories like this occur in the urban centers, and are routinely spiked by the MSM?
