CHL saves the day...

If you have to ask for it, it is not a "right"...

The second amendment should be an accessible right here in CA!

Fixed it for you.

CCW, CHL, LTC or whatever you want to call a little get out of jail free card will always be a regulated privilege. Put another way- CCW is more gun control, not less.

I wonder why they published his name. he is a minor, right? He hasn't been convicted (yet), right?

In some states, 17 is the cut-off for being charged as an adult. I remember it was that way in Michigan. 16 (normally), kids were charged as minors. At 17, they were considered adults by the criminal legal system. Might be that way in TX, too. I don't know.

lawsuit filed by dead suspects family to take everything the victim owns just because he defended for his own life. Retaliation from suspects family/friends for the rest of his life-like as if the victim was all wrong in killing the suspect in self defense. What's wrong with these people? I know it's sad to loose a loved one but if that person was killed for commiting a crime, then that's all good as the criminal path was chosen by the suspect and his parents FAILED in teaching their children...much less the parents could just be scums themselves, who knows.

I can only assume that the posters who talk about the criminal's parents incompetency are not parents themselves.
There certainly is victory here, in that the victim was able to survive and fend off an attack by a gang of criminals.
There is also a lot of sadness. The victim will spend the rest of his life with the burden of having taken a life. The criminal's parents will have a lifetime of sadness at the loss of their son and what might have been.
So while we rightly celebrate the constitutional rights of the crime victim, let us not forget the human costs of that right.

Just in case I haven't pissed off enough people with this post, I offer the following for consideration: Imagine that the teenage gang members had been exercising their constitutional right for loaded open carry when they came across their intended victim. Does anyone think the result would have been the same?

We'll I'd say that most of us calgunners have kids including myself. I've personally know relatives/people/neighbors who there kids have grown up to be thugs/criminals. And the sad thing that I've seen is the parents are part of the problem. They seem to encourage their kids to live that lifestyle as they too were former gangmembers/thugs. In these cases the parents are scums that lead to the kids to grow up into scums. There's even the parents who take their kids out to do shoplifting as they are minors only and criminal charges will be minimum. There are also the parents who used to be thugs and want to change and most the time the kids grows up into the norm kid.
