Who says you need big caliber?
10 year-old with BB gun saves mother's life from attacker
US Air Force, 1986 - 2007

Good for the boy. It just goes to show that mindset to not be a victim is paramount. However, hopefully mom will buy a pump action shotgun and show him how to use it.
Mas Ayoob tells a story of a friend who would oil his revolver liberally - like dripping in oil. One day he was on the subway and gets attacked by a guy. He drew his revolver, and pulled the trigger, and click. The oil had soaked the primers and made them useless. However, upon hearing the click, the bad guy's eyes rolled up in his head and he fainted. :)
Sometimes we get lucky, but we shouldn't plan on it.

Good job young man! I'm sure the mom is glad she let him have that BB gun after all.

Asked by a CNN reporter "What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist"?, the Marine sniper simply shrugged & replied "recoil".
Now more than ever, we are at war on our home soil ... WAKE UP & arm our troops when they are on home soil!
It is good to know that for every "bad" kid there are many more "good" kids like this one. Good job, young man.

I guess maybe next time she will do a background check before renting out a room to somebody that's had over 50 contacts with LEO

Caliber didn't matter, just being shot by BBs is enough.
Maybe time for Jrs first Ruger 10/22?
English is my second language, I have been told my use of it is harsh, apologies if this is the matter.
You know what stops a bad guy with a gun? A good guy with a gun
Police know him very well. He's been arrested more than a dozen times. Sounds like yet again the justice system has malfunctioned. One day he'll pull that kind of garbage on someone who has a larger caliber weapon and they'll put a stop to him for good. Unfortunately how many others have to suffer being attacked by the jerk wad before that happens?
