Any of you discuss situations like this with your kids?
North Las Vegas, NV (KVVU) — A North Las Vegas teen is being hailed a hero after scaring home invaders away with a rifle and protecting his young brother and sister in the process.
The break-in occurred in the middle of the day at a home located near Ann Road and Aliante Parkway.
It was a call that Kiewa Mason said he’d hoped to never get from his son.
“I said, ‘Is everything OK? And he said, ‘No, someone has broken into our house,'” Mason said.
Kiewa Mason’s 14-year-old son Andrew Mason was home with his brother and sister, both 6 years old.
“I went upstairs and grabbed my brother and told him to hide in the closet. I grabbed a cell phone off my dad’s dresser, grabbed my rifle and hid in the closet with my brother,” Andrew Mason said.
Kiewa Mason said his family has practiced for this scenario.
“I believe in the right to bear arms, and it’s not like he was foreign to it. We go to the shooting range quite often. We go to the Clark County shooting range quite often. We go to Range 702,” Kiewa Mason said.
Andrew Mason said he came face to face with one of the home invaders.
“I had my gun loaded and ready to shoot, but when he saw me he just took off running,” he said.
On the way out, one of the home invaders grabbed Kiewa Mason’s safe. No one was harmed in the home invasion.
“He’s excellent. He did everything perfectly. [He] couldn’t have done better, and he’s actually a hero,” Kiewa Mason said of his son.

The average response time to a 911 call is 7 minutes. What would have happened in those 7 minutes had that young man not had access to a firearm and the training to use it?

but but .... gunz are bad
great job by this kid, he's a hero.
this is another article that tells me no matter how much I think I've covered all the bases, there's always something left I forgot. Will work out a plan of action in case something like this happens.

plan I told my daughter, anyone is at the front door, go to the pantry, open the gun safe, call 911
first they have to get through the front door which is hardened with door jamb armor and 3m security film, then they have to get through the german shepherd, then they have to get through the solid wood door on the bathroom, then the solid wood door on the pantry, then the safe door that is blocking entry into the pantry, then they will be looking down the barrel of a gun
