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.

    Would a NRA…. TC or Instructor please give this girl a free rifle course? She needs a few more lessons to keep that finger off the trigger when she handles that firearm. What a brave girl!

    Good work. It’s a shame that people now consider people kids until they are old enough to graduate from college. Not that long ago almost any kid who didn’t live in a big city knew how to shoot

    Anyone care to speculate what might have happened to this courageous young lady had she been living in Chicago or New York City? A single shot bolt action .22 rifle would not be my choice for home defense,particularly in a multiple armed perpetrator home invasion. However,this young lady is living proof that a prepared and resolute non-victim can decisively compensate for less than optimum equipment. ….Take that Bloomberg – you feculent hoplophobic communist wretch!

    I applaud this girl for her courage. If she had been unarmed (as the liberals demand)….well, there are too many stories about what happens to kids who are defenseless, especially girls.
    But a bolt-action .22 is good for squirrels, not for bipedal snakes. Mom and Dad should take her to a range and teach her how to use a .38 or 9mm. Then, if three scumbags break in all three of them will have an equal chance of learning a very painful lesson.
    In the meantime, you go, Girl!
