TX: Teen Thwarts Burglary

In Harris County, Texas two teenagers attempt to break into a house was met with deadly force when a fifteen year old inside used his father’s rifle to defend himself, his twelve year old sister, and his home. One of the teenagers was wounded. Both were taken into custody at a local hospital. The fifteen-year old’s father is a local deputy.

There were some questions about whether he'd [the father] be liable for the shooting since his son had easy access to the weapon, but ABC13's legal expert says that the 15-year-old's right to protect his home and sister trumps all child firearm access laws.

Damn right. Self-Defense is a human right, and you don’t lose that right because your underage.
