Gud' on 'im I'se say. Nice family too. LOL! when I read the article I saw that the kid thought he ws being accosted by pirates and he called his dad and I was impressed by his dad telling him to "Load your gun and shoot to kill" His dad is a smart man. Sometimes you aren't safer with a gun. The pirates were imagined. Look at how it ended, "I turned, and they turned." Fishermen? A wooden boat not appearing on a radar should not be a surprise. Too big a gun, too young. Bad combination. That gun would do a lot of damage. I think the dad used bad judgment. If they tried to sell him some fish it might have turned out different. Thankfully he ditched the gun when entering Mexican waters. A gun he never should have had. If you think a teenager should have a .357 for protection, I hope you are the one living next door to one who has one. God and Guns is a disease. |
