In New Mexico there was an attempted robbery that was thwarted by an 11 year old girl who feared for her life, and retrieved a training rifle that she had just learned to use.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, especially since she was out manned and out gunned, but the mere presence of the gun prevented the crime.
Had these events occurred 500 miles west, in California, the mother would have been arrested, and charged with child endangerment for failing to lock up her gun.
Children who are trained, and aware of the consequences and dangers of shooting, should have access to firearms once they're old enough to be home alone.
