Pretty in Pink

And Herod sent his soldiers forth, commanding;  "Kill every believer older than 11 and seize their firesticks.

I saw this article online. The comments were fascinating. The digital version of crayon. If there hadnt been guns in the house they wouldn't have tried to steal them. Thus, the guns are the problem.

Every girl must know how to handle a weapon. There would be much less crime if that were the case. I find it hard to believe that the scum wanted to steal a "pink" rifle...

Free for every child, woman and warfighter (lol) and about $70 bucks for the rest of us.

A 2 day clinic that teaches about the revolutionary war, how to shoot standing, sitting, and laying down.

Best of all, it qualifies you for the civilian marksmanship program so you can buy one of those army surplus M1 garands!

I hope she has a better weapon now! Good for her and her folks for teaching her to handle herself in such a situation and how to handle a weapon to defend herself.

What a great story!
"With the loaded rifle, Gutierrez said she checked the bathroom and then the living room ready to defend herself. She said she ran to her mother's closet and called 911."
Skip the search, just go to your "safe room" (You doooo have a safe room, dontcha? You know, where you can lock yourself in, call 9-1-1, and shoot anyone who tries to break in.) An 11-yo + two rounds of .22ca against three intruders? Sounds about right, but I'd reco 8rnds of 12 or 20-ga #1 buck + a bandoleer.

I noticed that Jesus Quintana was among the burglars. Doesn't she know? Nobody F***s with the Jesus.

I second what anonymous said above about the Appleseed Project. My first thought when the story said the girl just learned to shoot was that she probably attended an Appleseed event. It is hands down the best $70 you will spend for shooting instruction, and you get to learn something about your heritage at the same time.
