A picture of an eleven year old holding a rifle led to an attempted raid by New Jersey Police and child welfare services.
Josh Moore received the rifle for his birthday and took pictures holding it.
When one of the pictures ended up on Facebook, someone called the state's child services.
They showed up at the family's door with police, demanding to enter and see the family's guns.
Shawn Moore, Josh's father, called his lawyer and put him on speaker phone, so that lawyer could act as a witness and interact during the situation.
As police had no warrant, they eventually gave up on their attempts.
The family regularly hunts and Josh has been trained how to correctly handle rifles, since he was five.
