11 year old is shot and defends mother w/ .22 rifle.

Wow! Great jog for the little guy. Hope he recovers quickly.

Many of us here probably had the “You’re the man of the house if I’m away” talk. All of us probably took it very seriously. I sure did. When something went bump in the night, it wasn’t time for fun with a gun. It was time to step up to my responsibility and do as I had been taught.

YES,
HURRAY for a job well done;)

In certain cultures this is the norm especially when the dwelling does not allow for different rooms.

That being said, I find it weird that you would focus on this and not the actual story. :eek:

Kudos to the kid and his Mom. They did not just yield tot he scumbags. I hope the pos who he shot bleeds to death!!

Legitimate question. My wife is not a shooter. My son is. He tags along as much as possible when I train or go shooting. He is a good student. I would love it if I could peak her interest level in firearms and self defense. She is a tiny lady (4’11", 95lbs).

Still, she too knows how to use the Glocks and (because it’s a gun she likes to shoot) a SW 6906. She would do anything to protect our kids.

Awesome boy!

Time to upgrade to 5.56…


He started pulling triggers at around 4.

I bought him a Henry Mini-Bolt at age 5. This was upgraded to a stainless 10/22 at age 10. He has added a folding stock, RDS, extended mag release and extra mags over the years.

He is now 13, an honor student and a great little buddy. He loves the G17 (under direct supervision) and has learned draw stroke and reloads. The little turd wants me to teach him mulfuction clearances he has watched me perform.

He also likes to clean guns. :cool: Educational, and good bonding time.

One day my wife will come around. She likes to shoot, she is just not “into it”. It is the same story with my 11 year old daughter, who now uses the Mini-Bolt.

I find it unbelievable that you are questioning why the 11 year old son and his mother are in the same room after they hear someone breaking into their home.

Excellent outcome. Someone should sponsor him in a pistol course.:slight_smile:

Yup. Somebody buy that kid an AR quick…

I guess I could ask the perp how everything went down. But then I would get stuck having to testify. Seriously though, the perp was in our ICU and he will probably talk to his nurses. They always have good info.

THIS!
