[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids who are getting shot are not ringing the doorbell and running away. They are pounding on the door, kicking the door, and sound like they are trying to break into the house. They are doing this in the dark and when many people are sleeping. The sleeping person wakes up to the sounds of someone trying to break into their house.

You don’t shoot someone running away from you, that is not justifiable in most cases.

I can see people shooting the person pounding on their door trying to break in through the door. I would call 911 and wait for the door to actually break, if I owned a gun, but I am sure that there are people who would say that is risky and just shoot through the door.

Better yet, tell your kid to not play DDD because it is annoying and you will punish them with whatever consequence if you find out they are playing DDD. If they do decide to play, ring the door bell once and run away. Don’t pound on the door and don’t do it after dark.While you are at it, tell them that mailbox baseball is a federal crime. I knew kids who ended up in federal court for mailbox baseball as a teen. Illegal to tamper with the mail. [/quote]

This kid knocked a few times and was down the street by the time he was shot:  https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/us/houston-ding-dong-ditch-shooting-wwk

I bet there will be a ptsd defense. I really don’t think it’s overboard to tell your kids that they shouldn’t bang on people’s doors at night because there are a lot of mentally unstable people with guns in this country.[/quote]

Of course tell them not to. But it's not just homeowners legitimately afraid of break-ins doing this. And the kid would be just as dead if he'd been accidentally knocking on the wrong door. [/quote]
