7 year old with guns

[Daniel Marsh]

When I was seven years old, we were informed that a rapist was going after babysitters. We were in a dangerous violent neighborhood. We had firearms loaded in every room. I heard someone who broke into our home. I sit in the hall where I can see the armed invader.

I have given him a verbal warning. He pointed his gun in my direction. I pulled both triggers on my shotgun, killing him. Our Babysitter woke up, turned on the lights to the hallway to see what happened. She went back into the guest room and called the Police. No one was prosecuted because it was self defense and protecting everyone in the home.



The Police and School provided me with Counselling.



A year ladder, someone broke in coming thru the Kitchen window. I used my Mother's hair spray and a lighter to set him on fire. The Police showed up to arrest him and laughed like crazy.



Within the same year, three armed men broke in. This time, I had my 30-30 Winchester. I learned from the Police not to have a warning. This time I laid at the top of our closed in stairway. I waited for all three to be in the stairway and opened fire killing all three.



Over the years, there was several armed invasions, some we had multiple shooters.



What advice would you have a family in that neighborhood?



We were not born again back then.

I don’t like like to sound like I like killing, but you did fine. It’s either you or them. Here we don’t have that right.

My advice would be to move out of that neighborhood to a safe one. I'm not going to say it's wrong to use a weapon against an armed home invader (Exodus 22:2-3), but if the armed home invaders keep coming, then get out of there.

You were an extraordinarily resourceful 8 year old.

I don't think I could work a Model 94 that fast.

Crikey, I've lived in what I thought were rough neighborhoods, but yours makes them look like Beverly Hills in conparison.

What advice would you have a family in that neighborhood?

Move pretty much anywhere else.

My advice to anyone giving that advice:

If you're giving advice to someone to move to a safer neighborhood, You must also be prepared to help them financially.

I think most who lives in a dangerous neighborhood wants to move to a safe neighborhood but many don't do it because of lack of money or difficulty having immigration visas, political asylum, if coming from a poor and dangerous country, etc.

@Daniel Marsh You did great!

My neighbor's guardian angels were working overtime last week. two men invaded their home, one front door the other back door. They did not know about each other and shot each other.

Dang, the savings in ammunition alone ought to pay for the move. Or maybe pawn a few of those guns.
