#2 Chris, more likely charges against the parents for leaving a gun where children could get it.

#3 Charges might be for a"loaded" gun in easy access of a child, mine, my kids how to load the family house guns.

#5 The kid just earned a Combat Meritorious promotion to adulthood. Sign him up to vote, and buy him a beer.

#6 Holmes said that the gun the teen grabbed was his father's, but did not know whether the boy had been trained to use it.

The "training" was not obviously not extensive. Only one shot fired.

#7 I don't know, well enough to talk sounds like a good shot to me. Make sure the kid knows its not his fault, its the perp's.

#8 A gun levels the playing field between a 14 year old and a 37 year old intruder, but:

"did not know whether the boy had been trained to use it."

Have they not seen the Combat computer games 14 year olds play these days for hours? One intruder/one shot is not uncommon in Combat Mission:Shock Force.
