One example for using a gun for self defence.
Close to where i live a situation happened several years ago.
Som junkie high on drugs walked in the house of an elderly cupple.
( middle of the day )
He was armed with a knife and started to beat up the man and cut him i the neck and demanded that his wife go get all the money they have in the house.
Now she got what little they had around the house but he wanted more and treatened to kill him if he did not get it.
Now this had been going on for some time and he was yelling and making allot of noice so a neighbur overheard it and came to check what is up he got cut in the arm but managed to get out of the house.
He ran to another neighbur and told him to come and he brought his shotgun with him.
He entered the house told him to drop the knife no responce he shot a hole in the celing and told him the next one is amed at your knees.
Knife dropped to the floor instantly and shortly there after the police and ambulances arrived and taked care of the rest.
Now to me that sounds like the shotgun made the whole differance he did attack the first one who tryed to intervene.
Now the sad part of this story is that the elderly man did never recover from his cut to mutch time elapsed and he had lost too mutch blood he died in hospital shortly there after.
Now one can wonder would a shotgun in there home have prevented that ?
There would have been lots of time for the wife to go get it insted of the money.But then on the other hand she would have probably had to shoot the junkie i seriusly doubt he would have surrendered to her.And a shotgunblast to the chest at close range is good night permanently.
But i think she would have had every right to do so her husband was in a life and death situation and only she could do anything about it.
And yea what is wrong with owning a gun at 15 ?
I started hunting at 15 and got my first gun of but the parents need to sign the papers that it is ok for the minor to get a weapon.
At 15 you will be convicted of a crime if you brake the law and therby by the state deemed old enough to know what you are doing.
But that shuld be the parents choise they know there child best everyone is not old enough at 15 some never will bee
