11 Year Old Girl Defends Home with .22 Rifle (2010)

This 11 year old girl refused to be a victim. She was ready and willing to use her .22 rifle to defend her home if it came down to it. This is also a fine example of the mere presence of a firearm deterring a crime without a single shot being fired.

    Oh the shame….she didn’t fire a shot.
    What is the world coming too?

    Just glad she’s safe though.

    I’m sure some leftwing moron will now call CPS and say she is in danger and her parents were negligent for allowing her access to a gun.

    One reason why latinos will end up in the long run as conservatives.

    @Captiva. The Savage Rascal is superior to the Cricket rifle and it is safer because there is no cocking knob.

    Ah, ain’t no puny little .22 gonna do anythang!

    Come here. Now stand still. Arms at your side. Head straight. Oh, I’m sorry. The tip of the barrel pressed between your eyes is cold huh? Wait. O.K. I’ll stand a few feet back. I’m pretty good shooter, so you know what? I’ll go over to the other side of the room. Again, hold still. Look straight at me and don’t move. Now…..let…me aim! Say cheese!

    Ann needs to interview this girl. The feel good story of the year.

    I can’t imagine how scared she must have been. Wow, did she ever make her parents proud. I hope that the commnity rallies around her.

    Pretty much every single country in Latin America notwithstanding?

    @Roscoe – Many immigrants, legal or otherwise, that I’ve run into (I’m on the construction side of a major utility company; I run into a lot of them)from what I define as ‘Latin America’ are very hard-working, family-oriented people that want to protect what they’ve worked for. And the women consider being feminine a virtue, not a minority-entitlement badge. They haven’t been indoctrinated into believing that Utopia is eating the scraps from the Progressive’s garbage cans….yet.

    I’ve found that it’s the ‘Community-Organizer’ agitators that get them riled up. ‘Latin’ or otherwise.

    Thanks Jethro, for posting that link.

    Ann could teach a few fashion tips to Moose.

    Matching color scheme on the ‘accessory’. Nice touch.

    “Say hello to mah leeetle friend!!!!!”

    Seriously though I want to treat this girl to a weekend lady’s pistol course. Then buy her her own so she doesn’t have to borrow her mom’s pea-shooter.
