Some say it doesn't, but 2 people I know with carry permits were asked by cops that had pulled them over about permits and if they were carrying, so...
Whatever transpired, whenever it happened it's not hard to not get shot.
Don't try to steal other people's property and they are much less likely to shoot you.
Problem solved.
Damn. If I had an AR pistol with a brace I can't put video of me shouldering it on FB or twatter. Couldn't have range time with my ATF buddies either.
Bummer.
I don't think the mother can be solely blamed.
Nearly everyone knows stealing is wrong long before 13.
As for home training/discipline...my cousin and I were raised in nearly identical 2 parent homes. Good income, church, blah, blah, blah.
He's about 3 years older than I am. In his early teens...
If it's the thread I remember, wasn't this the poster's first pistol?
If the guy had a permit and no pistol already, carry it.
I probably would have. If for no other reason, to get the feel of carrying.
Sorry, the shooter must be important to someone with clout pulling strings to remain anonymous.
We regular citizen types would be happily fvcked over in a heartbeat if we had pulled the trigger.
