A juvenile should not be walking around with a gun, period.

Is this a blanket statement?
I can remember the times when high school boys brought their guns to school in order to get a quick start on hunting after school.
Nothing bad seemed to happen in those cases.

I think this boy had the right intent with the wrong action.

I think the boy did right. No qualifications needed. He did the right thing.

I was around during those times myself. The good old days.

This article seemed to be about an event in an urban setting. The juvenile was apparently in the store with a concealed weapon when the robbery occurred. Therefore, I would also assume it was a high crime area. I am all for concealed carry and for people protecting themselves. However, if the setting was as I described, and I know I am assuming things not in evidence, it is probably not good for the teens in the area to be walking around armed. Too many hot heads and too little wisdom and patience.

Me too. I remember as late as the 1970's when I was in high school, we used to leave school in the early afternoon to head south and pick up some late afternoon dove hunting. Shotguns in the pickup racks in the school parking lot. No problems and no hassles. Ever.
