We spoke yesterday of a successful gun defense use by a Texas five-year-old against an 800-pound alligator. Now we learn of a Michigan 13-year-old who repelled two burglars from his home with an Airsoft pistol backed up with a 20-gauge shotgun.
Meet Josh Cichy:
Per MLive.com:
The quick thinking scared away the intruders, who were long gone by the time police arrived.
We've seen how well this worked in Merced a few years back.
There simply is no one-size-fits-all solution, especially with denial and ignorance being the preferred strategy. As parents, it is our responsibility to provide our children with age-appropriate training, to guide their development, and to know when they're ready to be trusted with more responsibilities.

Just as those who can't be trusted with a gun should not be allowed to roam unescorted in society, those children who are not ready and trained to defend themselves should not be out - or home - alone.
If people approached water safety like some do "gun safety", they would require that kids not be taught to swim until they are 21, and then they would act shocked when people drown.
Teach 'em early, teach 'em right and teach 'em a lot!
Awesome article here- forwarding it around!
And what do the socialist factories, er public schools, push more? Teaching kids to use their genitals. Despite being a childfree guy I fully support and encourage home schooling. Kent hits the nail on the head. Imagine a world where parents taught their kids to handle guns, swim, cook, handle personal finances and encouraged them to take AG or trade school. I know, it's a stretch but even a curmudgeon like me can dream.
Well, Josh is going to jail. He is in possession of guns in Chicago. I wonder if the TV station that requested he bring the guns for the interview are going to be arrested for conspiracy to violate Chicago gun laws.
What an incredibly awkward interview.
