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?
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.
This is my rifle
This is my gun.
LOL!And what was the nekkid guy with he gun doing on the burgler's front lawn, anyway?
Martin who was naked only holding his sidearm chased the burglar out on to his front lawn.
