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.

You'll find no shortage of hoplophobes who--unable to rid our homes of guns--seek to have them rendered useless under the guise of "safe storage laws." We even find this presumption coming from some on "our side," including in Josh's home state.

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.
