FEEL GOOD STORY OF THE DAY

11-year-old boy shoots burglar who ‘cried like a baby’

TALLADEGA, Ala. — An 11-year-old boy who was home alone shot and injured a burglar, causing the suspect to “cry like a little baby.”

WVTM reported that it happened Wednesday morning after somebody broke inside a home in Talladega, Alabama.

Chris Gaither, 11, heard a noise and grabbed a nine-millimeter hand gun.

“When he was coming down the stairs, that’s when he told me he was going to kill me, f-you and all that,” Gaither said.

The boy started firing at the suspect, who made it out the front door with a hamper in his hand.

“I shot through the hamper he was carrying,” Gaither said. “It was a full metal jacket bullet. It went straight through the back of his leg. He started crying like a little baby.”

The injured suspect was taken to a hospital. Police have not released his name. The boy’s mother said the suspect has robbed them before and they don’t know him personally.

If that was in California that kid and his parents would be in serious trouble.

1 The firearm wasn’t adequately locked up to prevent access by a child.
2 The kid wasn’t trained that once the threat of bodily harm was over he no longer had the right to use deadly force.
3 You can’t use deadly force to protect property.
4 the firearm had a magazine with more than 10 rounds
5 was the firearm purchased from an individual and not a licensed FFL if so it’s an illegal weapon.
6 if the bullet has any lead in it that’s another violation.

I’m sure if I spent a little more time I could think of a few more points but you get the idea.

California—where TPTB test out policies they intend to implement in the rest of the country.

The only problem I see is the kid didn’t hit him higher up.

ASIG, “6 if the bullet has any lead in it that’s another violation.” You’re joking, right?

I’m willing to bet a fist full of silver dollars this kid never shows up as a “transgender”. He knows where his balls are.

To bad the bastard isn’t dead. Except I wouldn’t want to put that stress on that young man.

Tha kid needs to hit the range and get a little more practice time in. Need to hit your target in 3 rounds or less. But good job otherwise!

For his birthday Uncle Bo Bo is getting him his first pistol, and I think its time to move him up to a .45ACP
