According to the Associated Press, a Juneau man defended his boat from an intruder before dawn Thursday with a shotgun and little else.
Russell Peterson grabbed his shotgun, sprang out of bed and marched the intruder off the vessel - all while in the nude. Peterson says he saw a man in a black coat standing in his bedroom doorway aboard his boat docked in Aurora Harbor. Peterson says he used his sawed-off shotgun to march the man off his ship.
Peterson then called 911. After explaining the situation, Peterson told the dispatcher he needed to get off the phone so he could get his pants on.
Police say 27-year-old Clay Calabrese was jailed at the Lemon Creek Correctional Center on a charge of criminal trespass. Peterson says Calabrese lives on another boat at Aurora.

Peterson says he used his sawed-off shotgun to march the man off his ship. I am surprised that both men are not in jail.
I won’t be surprised if we don’t hear soon of Peterson’s arrest by the BATF.

Peterson was unclear on the "Right to bare arms" concept.

He was hear to say to passerbys:

" won’t be surprised if we don’t hear soon of Peterson’s arrest by the BATF." You can "saw off" a shotgun but only so much. In general, he is probably safe from the BATF if it the barrel length is over 18 inches. [However, IIRC, there is also a minimum overall length for a shotgun that started life as a long gun.]

For newspaper reporters, a Mossberg Persuader with a pistol grip and an 18.5 inch bbl is a sawn off shotgun.
It doesn't make it true.
As for sleeping buck nekkid in November in Alaska, I guess he's a better than than I would ever be.

What the Hell is that all about?!
My sincere hope is that the "reporter" knows little, if anything, (as usual) about firearms and that it is simply a short barreled shotgun.

Since the author attributes the "sawed-off" phrase to its owner, I have a feeling you're right.
