I'm glad the child is all right, but there's a lot here that's disturbing to me such as why is a 13 yr old child home alone with access to a loaded gun and what's the emotional impact going to be on this child now and as he grows up. The outcome was good here but there are so many other scenarios where this could have gone horribly wrong.
Well at least he can grow up - seeing as how he's alive. He'll be more confident, perhaps? I see being able to protect yourself as a positive.
The extreme negative was two ****headed douches that dared to break into a home while a kid (perfectly of legal age to be alone and clearly mature enough to handle it) was there. ****ers. This has happened to other kids and they weren't so fortunate.
The first time I ever heard of a kid defending off an intruder was when I was a kid myself - he was a few years older than me. His baseball practice was canceled, I think, and he went home early. No one was there and while he was watching TV some guy tried to get into his home by cutting through the metal screen on the window. He broke the guy's hand with a baseball bat. Good for him.
