The kid did good.
I suspect it was a semi-auto and I think it was an AR-15.
The kid won't face any charges and Dad won't have any problems with Texas' so-called "safe-storage law." One of many exceptions applies if the gun is used in "lawful self-defense." Also, the law only applies to a "readily dischargeable firearm" and the definition is narrow. Harris County has a policy of taking all homicide cases to the Grand Jury, but that won't be a problem.
Father and son will be fine.
Chas.
Good to know. I was thinking about this and hoped that Dad would not be in any trouble.

Dad, may have told him, Son ... some people don't like cops, if they come after me // get in our home, do what, ya' gotta' do, son, do what cha' gotta' do !
In this case, just low life burglars. ( Or not !? )
No physical harm to him or his sister !!!
GOOD JOB, SON.... Good job !

Can you give us the definition of "readily dischargeable firearm"? I have heard a couple of different answers to this, and would like to know.

Sec. 46.13. MAKING A FIREARM ACCESSIBLE TO A CHILD. (a) In this section:
(1) "Child" means a person younger than 17 years of age.
(2) "Readily dischargeable firearm" means a firearm that is loaded with ammunition, whether or not a round is in the chamber.
