I'm sure the anti-gun people will find something negative to say.

I'm impressed that there's no comment page. Good job KIRO.

I thought this story looked familiar.

Here's a little bit on the back story for those not aware.

This is the same kid whose father was murdered here back in 2008. He was the owner of an auto repair shop and was confronted by 2 individuals. The POS who shot and killed him did so because he wanted the rims back from his car that had been worked on. The Father never received payment for the work and subsequently got a mechanics lien and then, eventually, the title and sold the car.

The POS got a life sentence without parole.

Needless to say, that afterwards, the Grandfather stepped up, took his grandson into his care and has raised him ever since. His Grandfather has taught all their grandchildren to handle a gun once they were old enough.
