I'd be interested to see...

...whether this really was an automatic rifle used here...

The teenage son of a Harris County deputy constable opened fire with his father's automatic rifle Tuesday after burglars forced their way into the family's home, authorities said.
...but in a way, it puts the lie to the contention that "you don't need an assault rifle to defend your home." Especially if said suspect's friends come back for some sort of revenge. At any rate, my hat is definitely off to that man for teaching his son the right thing to do. I am glad for them that this was not California, where guns have to be locked up around kids.
