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.


Odd, I had large caliber hand guns when I was his age. Nobody around
me saw any type of a problem and I never had a problem with handling
my firearms.

That gun would do a lot of damage.


Of course it would!
