[Reptile]

The deputies’ goal throughout the evening was de-escalation of the situation in order to avoid deaths or injuries, the sheriff said​

A Florida sheriff ripped the state’s juvenile justice system Tuesday night as a 14-year-old girl was "fighting for her life" after she and a 12-year-old boy got into a shootout with Volusia County deputies.

We keep a gun safe in our Florida vacation/ retirement townhome. It is not mandatory by law, unlike MA and some other states. But if stolen guns continue to be a problem, it is conceivable that such legislation may be passed at the federal level. I have no doubt that Biden would support it and sign it into law.

agree strongly................... that Massachusetts style gun laws are coming nationwide.

That's your takewaway out of reading that?

Safe storage laws?

"Safe storage" should be highly encouraged. But SCOTUS already decided in Heller that ready access to operable firearms in the home is protected.

A "locked home" should be a sufficient-enough safe storage vessel to be in compliance with any law, IMHO.

The kids broke in. They didn't walk in.

Well it looks as though I was wrong, the 12 YO Boy is White. I don't know
about the 14 YO Girl yet.

Same here I have safes in my primary, vacation and cabins. Safes are cheap, my firearms are not. Nevermind if some asshat gets a hold of it.

Youts.

They probably talked the church home
into renting a VHS tape of Badlands,
and it was all downhill from there.

Been waiting half the day for this thread to resurface in my alert list,
so I could lob a brief news video about the boy's arraignment,
but in the meantime someone got cold feet and deleted the video.
YoutUbe, TV station - I got no idea.

It appears she will survive. But remember that name because it will be repeated for years in arrest reports, court appearances, incarceration, etc. I feel badly saying it but a better placed shot would have saved the state a lot of money. Love to know her fam ily history.

I saw that on the TV. It was really sad, the kid did not look like he had any idea what was happening.
