The mistake is that the kid forgot to open carry his gun. Remember this is Murica.

Fuck everything about this. My kid has been roaming the neighborhood since he was like 7.
In the year 2002 at age 10, I rode my bike 2 miles to school every day and 3 miles to hang out with friends in town.

Ridiculous. I used to ride 5 miles each way to school for years on some really busy roads. I can’t say that I’d be happy to do that again with all the cellphone distractions drivers engage in these days, but a kid walking less than a mile to a store shouldn’t be a problem unless they’re walking on a freeway or something.
