P*WNED
Laugh all you want about the smallness of a .22 LR cartridge. But last week, it saved the lives of a family in Texas. Though the thugs managed to seriously injure the 11-year old in the family. Like the man of the family that he is, he shot back and put one of the criminals in the hospital.

What a good son and man he is
I grew up in the Bronx in the '50s and '60s. My father gave me a Remington 500 rifle for my 12th birthday. It took about 13 or 14 long rifles in its tube. One day a couple of years later, I came home from school to find the front door to our apartment ajar. Knowing that no one was supposed to be home, I asked a neighbor lady to call the cops. I slipped into our fairly large apartment and went directly to my room to get my rifle. I then started to check the rest of the apartment to see if there were any stragglers. When I finished, I was headed back to the front door when two of NYPD's finest arrived. The fatter one asked me, "Is your rifle loaded?" To which I responded in my best New York way with a question of my own, "Are your guns loaded?"
Shortly afterward, my father arrived home from work. The fatter cop, still smarting from my query I presume, accosted my father and asked. "Did you know your son was wandering around the apartment with a loaded rifle?" To which my father replied, I doubt that he was wandering and he knows what to do with a loaded rifle."
Speaking of the Second Amendment, the Young Man will be taking that gunsmithing class.
Ironic. He will still be too young to own a handgun or a rifle, but will be certified to work on them.
