Well, one thing is true, that is the way most Montanans would handle it. I must have imagined I read it when it happened.

Snopes is proving to be inaccurate at times. Take anything there the same as you would wikpedia.

The story of the skeet champ girl defending her home has floated around the web for quite a while. The main variation sees to be her age. However, the NRA journal, American Rifleman, has a couple stories in the last few months of youngsters using guns to defend themselves in their own homes. Kalamazoo Gazette, MI, 10/02/2009: 13 yo Josh Cichy uses an air pistol and 20 ga shotgun to drive off home intruder. San Antonio Express-News, TX, 01/20/10: 11 yo boy (unnamed) uses .22 rifle to defend himself and his mother after he was wounded by drug-seeking home invaders. Over the years, I've read quite a few similar accounts, so whether the shotgun champ girl story can be verified or not, it is still plausible.
