Armed Free Citizen (fourteen) Shoots Armed Perp

Well done, young man, from Fox News [1]:

Phoenix boy, 14, shoots armed intruder while watching three younger siblings

A 14-year-old Phoenix boy shot an intruder who broke into his home while brandishing a gun as the teenager watched his three younger siblings, police said.

The teen and his brothers and sisters were at home alone at their residence at 55th Avenue and Baseline when a woman rang the doorbell Friday. The teen didn’t open the door because he didn’t recognize her, Police Officer James Holmes said Saturday.

Soon after, the teen heard a bang on the door, rushed his siblings upstairs and got a handgun from his parent’s bedroom. When he got to the top of the stairs, he saw a man breaking through the front door and point a gun at him.

The boy shot the 37-year-old man, who is in critical condition but expected to survive and be booked into jail.

Free citizens have the right to keep and bear arms. Imagine the horror had this self-defense taken place in the People’s Republic of Chicago. Mayor Emanuel’s thugs would have the home owner and baby sitter in jail. Likewise in Mayor Bloomberg’s New York City.
