“I’m in bed sleeping, I get up, I retrieve my sidearm, I chase him out the front door. I’ve got him pinned on the ground. It’s 4:55 in the morning and I don’t have a stitch of clothing on. I’m basically telling him at this point, ‘Stay on the ground, don’t move, because if you do move, I will shoot you.’”
When the times comes to protect your house, you do what you got to do. This is what happend to Eric Martin, a Utah homeowner who woke up to an intruder in his house this past Thursday. The suspect, Clinton Keller, had made his way through various rooms in the home before being noticed. As his girlfriend called 911 and his 8 year old son lay asleep, Martin who was naked only holding his sidearm chased the burglar out on to his front lawn. The suspect ended up tripping over his duffle bag, where Martin held him at gunpoint until police arrived.
“I said, ‘Do you know what I have pointed at you?’ He said, ‘No,’ and I said, ‘Do you want to know?’ and he of course doesn’t respond to that one, so I tell him, ‘Let me explain, I’ve got a .9mm pointed at you with high-velocity hollow points in the chamber.’
The police lauded Eric Martin for his actions in handeling the situation. The suspect Clinton Keller was booked on residential burglary and theft.
“Imagine five police cars and seven officers rolling up to a scene with a naked man holding a weapon pointing at someone, and holding him down on the ground,” Martin said. “The police got a kick out of that.”
That’s why I never sleep in the nude.
I would have been wearing a tee shirt.
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man holding the gun pointed at your head.
like a computer dongle
Randy Newman the amazing human?
Randy is all over the place when he isn’t voting for Obama...Here’s hoping his cumulative (California+Federale+ lots more) taxation is higher than what Bill Mahaer was griping about last week
He was naked only? The author could use a few judiciously place commas, or a crash course in "How Americans Use English.
You'd think a person with a young child in the house would have some clothes on. Was his girlfriend also naked?
Your only naked when you don’t have a gun.
Mine would be, "let ME explain. I have a Governor pointed at your brain. Two shots of 45 ACP, two Shots of 45 Long Colt, and two shots of .410 shotgun slugs. It won't matter if they are high velocity or not, or if they are hollow point."
Good grief people.
The man was in bed ! Probably WITH his girlfriend .Who was likely also naked.
The 8 year old was certainly in his own bed in another room.
Do you all make love while clothed?Or immediately dress afterwards?
Should the man have asked the burglar to PLEASE wait while I put on some clothes before getting my gun ?
The immediate threat from what an intruder might do to the man.his girlfriend,and his son was more important than some overly prudish sense of decorum.
I fail to see anything wrong with anyone sleeping nude in their bed.
At least a warm pair of socks.
This is my rifle
This is my gun.
“Imagine five police cars and seven officers rolling up to a scene with a naked man holding a weapon pointing at someone, and holding him down on the ground,” Martin said. “The police got a kick out of that.”
This happened in Utah. Why wasn’t he wearing his magic underwear?
Happiness is a warm gun (I think John Lennon said that)

This is my pistol; this is my gun ....
Nowadays though it's Patagonia synchilla sweats...they don;t make them anymore...damn I love them..no top
wifey wears cami and sweat or silk bottoms
sometimes we forget and go au natural
like in NOLA once at the Sonesta on Bourbon...the dual level suites for anyone who has been there
she and the boys are up early doing room service breakfast which in NOLA is good
i’m naked as jaybird....50 years old...imagine..a body only a good wife could love...I'm no Daniel Craig...and I hear everyone screaming “Daddy Daddy!!!!!...Hunter..(our toddler then) is dying ...he's dying Please God help...Daddy Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!...he's choking to death”
man...I leap up from the bed...asleep for all of 4 hours or so...my exposure slinging about as one can imagine....swinging down the cast iron spiral staircase to the salon where the boys had slept in one cat bounce and..the baby as we still call him today...is lain over barely choking fading out fast ...wifey and all are hysterical...my 7 year old is openly praying aloud
I grabbed up the lad by the heels...smacked his back hard a few times...he choked up a bit
rolled him over and stuck my Hendrix length index finger...thank God...I'm 6'5” ...down his throat and he gagged up a huge chunk of cantaloupe...and vomited all his breakfast everywhere...and most importantly started breathing and sobbing like little ones do...and of course ran for mommy..not that I blame him...I look like a Capital One commercial on good days
>
that was one of those times we were truly blessed...God was in the French Quarter...likely called there a lot come to think of it...it could have gone another way....I was prepared to try a trach...and I am not joking
anyhow...sleeping naked ...rare for me nowadays...has it's vulnerabilities...but the pistol is a nice fashion accessory even to the most bare
