It was also a MUCH different world back when my kids, and I, were 12. As to leaving today's kids alone at that age I would have to say it depends on the kid. The girl in this story proved she was MORE than up to handling things at 12 than many 40 year olds I know.

I think is said she was just getting home from school. I left my sons alone at the age from time to time. 12 is old enough for a few hours here and there. We would head to the store or something. I see no problem there.

When someone enters MY home, without my permission, my home HAS been invaded. The law may play word games, I do not. Enter MY home, when I am there, and it is more than likely that the offending thug will NOT leave under their own power. I ALWAYS make the assumption that when MY home is...

He should have never been sent back. He is NOT being sent home and is now back out on patrols. He is already starting to have problems. It is hard to for me to imagine the concussion from an explosion like that. My nephew told me it is enough, if the victim is not shielded by a vehicle or...

The shrapnel etc, was stopped by the humvee. The brain injury is a different story. It is the fourth or fifth non-bleeding tramatic brain injury for Paul. The IED they ran into in Iraq was 4 155MM H.E. arty rounds wired together. It was during that action that my nephew earned his bronze star...

I did not comment I ASKED you a question, I asked if you could imagine something worse than murder, at least that was my intent. Sorry if it came across other wise. Then STATED that I could. EVERY home invasion is a threat to life. The PRIMARY THREAT is to the LEGAL resident of that...

Here a good one, long, read it all. LOTS of really GOOD information here Gun Control - Just Facts

Proof This is only ONE of many articles. Do some research. It IS important stuff to know. We VOTE on these things. It is a GOOD idea to know FACT from FICTION. Sorry I yelled. NRA-ILA | Firearm Safety In America 2009

A soldier from a reserved MP unit in Jackson, MI was injured in Afghanistan when the humvee he was in hit a IED, that was either known by or not pointed out by the Afghan police. The IED was over 1000lbs of explosives. Paul had a 'non-bleeding' head injury. One of several he has had in his...

One, NOT similar situations, TWO PROVE that happens probably happens 100X as often, I DOUBT very much that you could. There is ZERO evidence that firearms accidents/mistakes are common, in fact, the PROOF shows beyond ANY doubt that they are VERY rare. By the way we DO need to fight to keep...

Blood lust? That girl, and EVERYONE in this country has the following ABSOLUTES: The RIGHT to her LIFE The RIGHT to her SAFETY The RIGHT to defend HER life The RIGHT to private property The RIGHT to DEFEND that private property NO ONE has the following: A RIGHT to INVADE another's...

No, there was NO OTHER CHOICE for her, shoot or face death, or worse. Wanting to make her 'wait' for a "what if" gives time to the thug. Thugs need not more time.

For HER sake I am glad she did NOT kill him. In HIS case, shame he is still alive. I DO understand what you mean.

What door? A closet door, inside her house, when no one else she KNEW was there? She did not shoot through an exterior door to the outside. SHE WAS IN THE CLOSET. Which is INSIDE her home. At ANY age, it is legal. In my house, intruders are NOT likely to leave under their own power, once they...

What would YOU tell her she should have done, wait till she saw the "whites of his eyes"? You, and Turtle, only pointed out, 'What if's' from the safety of your keyboard. You were not there, you did not access the situation yourself and YOUR life was NOT in danger. The cops says she did...

"Police say St. Clair did exactly what she should have done." The line above is from that second article. She acted correctly. She understood and had assessed the situation. She retreated and hid. She had contacted the authorities and her mother. She did NOT fire until she believed her life...

It is AMAZING how people would rather see this girl murdered, or worse. IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY! She defended her LIFE. She has an ABSOLUTE RIGHT to defend her life. What if she had seen his face and 'froze' giving the thug who broke in time to grab her? What if's are nice, in here, in real...

Yes, he broke into her house. She KNEW he broke into the house. She called her mother, SHE told her where the gun was. She was on the phone with the 911 operator. The most likely 'what if' is that girl would have been harmed, or worse. had she NOT fired. It WAS legal and correct. She...

The ONLY sight I want to see in NYC is it getting smaller in my mirrors as I drive out! LOL!!!

Her mother would have been screaming her name at the top of her lungs IF she was there. The girl KNEW neither her mother, or the police, were NOT there. She did not fire UNTIL she saw the doorknob move. Sounds like she has a LOT of wits about her. What she did was LEGAL and CORRECT.
