A St. Louis couple is likely thankful to have guns in their home after they were forced to use them to defend their daughter against two men Monday night.The men, one of whom had an extensive rap sheet, confronted the couples’ 17 year-old daughter after she stepped outside of the house to go to her car, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.Cortez McClinton, 33, and Terrell Johnson, 31, held a gun to the girl’s head and used her as a shield as they entered the family home, where a five-year old child was also present.The girl’s father and mother witnessed the abduction, and both retrieved their guns. When McClinton and Johnson entered, the father fired several shots, hitting both men. The girl’s mother fired one shot but missed.Johnson died at the scene. McClinton was wounded but was able to scramble off. He had his brother take him to the hospital.LINK 4951

@MAHM: But, But, the poor, poor people. I am sure they had a hard life, they only most likely wanted a little money or food, probably for their children to survive one more day.
So heartless!Emoticon 4951

@mm4731: I hated reading that part. Her husband should have taken her to the range more.

@MAHM  What are the rules at the shooting ranges for age?  I saw one that didn't allow anyone under 21.  I would love for my son to learn. 4951

@YourMajesty: I think they all have different rules. @MTechnique would know which ones allow kids under 18.

It probably depends on the ranges insurance and such, but at Carter's I've seen children of all ages there shooting. 4951

I taught both of mine to shoot handguns at a range (on the SW side of town)The oldest is full blown liberal today and thinks all guns should be done away with and loves Obama.The youngest is just the opposite.Go Figure. 4951

@MAHM: You said, "She's an adult and should have been responsible enough to take herself to range to ensure she could put lead on target." wrong.We also can't discount the adrenaline rush and overall fog of being in that situation.  Shooting another human being is not always as easy as they show it to be in the movies.  Her brain could have subconsciously made her pull the shot.   21 years US Army Infantry, I've seen it happen to highly trained professional soldiers.  You put them on paper targets, they are stone cold killers.  Bring them up against another human being, you're rolling the dice.  Just don't know until it happens.
[qoute]@MAHM  What are the rules at the shooting ranges for age?  I saw one that didn't allow anyone under 21.  I would love for my son to learn.[quote-end-tag-mismatch]@YourMajesty:Every range in the area that I'm aware of will allow children to fire as long as they are with an adult.  The rules of 18 or 21 apply for unaccompanied.  DS is 13 and has been a competitive shooter with the NRA youth program in both small-bore rifle and pistol. 4951
