No, that wouldn’t be legal. Would be legal to shoot anyone who caused you to fear for your life or that of someone else there.

Depends on the local ordinances against brandishing and discharge of fire arms. Either way, the kid should stay put in the house. If the thugs attempt to enter, then the “castle doctrine” would probably go into force.

If he stays in the house with the weapon, it would not be considered “brandishing”. I would have the kid in the house, open the blinds and have him get out the Mossberg and have him load in the rounds slowly so that the thugs outside could see it happen.

Heh, either that or if you can make an ultrasonic pain field generator, I remember seeing plans for those back in the 1970's in electronics magazines when I was a kid.

Fire off a warning shot with a shotgun in Washington DC?

What do you think would happen to him?
