Kids and Guns - 15 Year Old Florida Boy :: 07/20/2014
Now, we have another case out of Florida in which a 15 year old boy used a shotgun to stop an attempted home invasion.
…The 15-year-old victim stated that he was home alone when he heard banging coming from the back of the residence.
The teen investigated the noise and saw the suspect attempting to open the back door.
At this point, the teen feared for his safety, so he armed himself with a shotgun.
The 15-year-old then fired a warning shot into an interior door which caused the suspect to flee the scene.
It should be noted that Florida recently made changes to their self defense laws clarifying that warning shots in defensive situations are legal.
