The climbers climb by their own choice.
The rescuers rescue by their own choice.

Both groups knew the risks when they made those decisions. Sometimes bad things happen.

Actually, that is the normal way to carry new vehicles. For the most part, they don't drive them across country on the trucks. I know my new truck was transported by train out here from Missouri. The dealer and everyone online when I was researching before I ordered it said all of theirs were transported by train.

Very glad the kid had access to the gun and knew how to use it. Congrats to both the kid and the parents, you did good!

It's probably best that the person will likely live. A lot of adults have a hard time dealing with taking a life, even if it was in self defense, and I wouldn't wish that on a 14 year old. In this case he was able to successfully stop the threat, and that's what really matters.

Locking guns up isn't the answer, people need to properly educate their children on what a gun is and how to handle it safely. The ones who tell their kids that guns are off-limits and hide them away are setting themselves up for disaster when natural curiosity takes over and the child finds a gun at home or at someone else's house and he/she has no idea how to handle it safely.

I started shooting by age 8, when dad bought my brother (age 10) and I a Browning A-Bolt .22LR rifle. We were taught from the very first day what it was, how to handle it, and what it could do if we used it improperly. We always knew where it was in the house, but never got it out unless we were going shooting with dad. Most of the shooters I know had similar introductions to firearms.
