12 year old girl home alone with a gun

It worked out just right.


Home alone: 12-year-old Oklahoma girl shoots intruder with mom's gun - Norfolk Crime | Examiner.com

She does not have to live with having to kill a POS intruder.

Ain't it grand when a plan comes together!

Good girl! Those stats at the end of the article are quite interesting and so rarely reported in articles such as these.

For the record, that is not an article. It is a blog trying to look like a news article.

All the "examiner" pages are.

Further reason why I help my 5 year old daughter shoot her grandpa's .22 when we visit them in the country. I will absolutely encourage my daughter to carry when she can handle it. Daughters give you so much more to worry about......

In 1982, the town of Kennesaw, Georgia, passed an ordinance which required all heads of household to have at least one gun in the house. The burglary rate immediately dropped an astounding 89 percent. Ten years after the law was passed, the burglary rate was still 72 percent less than it was in 1981.
The rest of the story is awesome too.

Wife started at 7. Was a dead aim from the start!

Good for the girl and her family for teaching her rather than making a taboo of the whole thing.

It's a cool story, but it's interesting that another story -- of the uncle who shot the 8 year-old girl dressed as a skunk for Halloween because he thought she was... wait for it... a skunk -- didn't get put up here.

And by the way, Kennesaw GA isn't a particularly safe place just because everyone has a gun. 4 people were shot in Jan '10 there; 2 died.

Not much balance in the Pelican community on the pluses and minuses of arming everyone...

A cop with that kind of poor situational awareness (and ignorance of procedure) would've deserved whatever bullets he caught.

She was on the phone with dispatch, they would have let her know an officer was in the house, but I see your point.

The only reason its not news is cause the Left did not carry it? LOL
Remember , - The Left wants you to think their way or NO way !
CNN stands for communist News network.!
Pay no attn. to most the official news..
Who makes it official anyway?

So in the gun lobby's dream world, where everyone is armed, why wouldn't the crooks just shoot first and ask questions later?

Cause crooks are cowards.
Besides, we know they won't shoot first. The proof is in Kennesaw.

In CA, the mother would be charged with a felony for letting a 12 y/o being able to get a handgun.
