What important lesson did the kid learn?
Better be fast if you’re going to be black?
Don’t case people’s houses during work days. If you think this kids story is true, you also think he is 5 years old.
If anyone on this thread owns a firearm, please listen to what I say. You can lawfully use your firearm in a few instances. First rule: Defense only. If you can retreat/not shoot then FREAKIN DON’T!!! You do not have to open your door. You do not have to cower in your closet. Your right to self defence is your LAST option. If you must use it, there is a good chance that it will be obvious and you won’t even be charged.
This shooting was unnecessary. If you stand down and the kid kicks your door open, smoke him. You are clean in most states. Easiest legal option. Shoot when all other options are exhausted.
