Alpo Posted October 20 Posted October 20 Scenario - you are alone in the house. You are taking a shower. You hear a noise in the other room. You get out of the shower and pick up your gun - you do keep a gun in the bathroom, right? - and go to see who is making noise in the kitchen. Do you put clothes on first? Or at least wrap a towel around you? Are you just go out there naked with you and your gun? I'm watching a television show, and of course the girl had to wrap a towel around herself because it's a TV show so she couldn't stand there in the living room naked dripping wet with a gun. But when she came out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around her it just seemed so stupid. And I bet there are people that would do that. Because it's been ingrained on them so hard that you don't let anyone see you naked. So, would it just be you with water running down your naked body and a gun in your hand? Or would you put on some sort of body covering? 1 Quote

Black Angus McPherson Posted October 20 Posted October 20 I hear "a noise". I'm putting on my robe to investigate. I hear what sounds like somebody tearing up my house searching for stuff? I might just go nekkid. OR, I might still put on my robe first. I guess I figure out which if it ever happens. Angus Quote
Rip Snorter Posted October 20 Posted October 20 With 300 plus pounds of dogs loose in the house, I have time to put jeans on, open the safe, I may even have time to shave. 5 Quote
Alpo Posted October 20 Author Posted October 20 I remember reading one time, and an article about bedside guns. This one guy did not have a gun next to his bed. He said he had a samurai sword. He said he was pretty sure that if he heard a noise downstairs and the burglar looked up and saw a 6 ft 8 350 lb naked man waving a samurai sword, screaming at the top of his lungs while running down the stairs, the burglar would turn and beat feet out of there. 4 Quote

sassnetguy50 Posted October 20 Posted October 20 Not a chance, put on the pants. There is no property in my house worth offering an intruder's partner an unencumbered opportunity to make me a soprano. It is a matter of personal protection, not modesty. 1 Quote
sassnetguy50 Posted October 20 Posted October 20 A shower gun made national news in 2019 when a man heard a noise while in the shower. He confronted the burglar and called 911. There was no mention of him being dressed or not. Quote

WD Farren Posted October 20 Posted October 20 More likely naked from bed. Far more time spent there, than on shower. Quote
Equanimous Phil Posted October 20 Posted October 20 A friend told me this story: He owns a store and lives in the appartement above it. One night he heard suspicious cracking noises. So, he grabed his Glock from the nightstand drawer and went downstairs. The burglers left immediately and he stepped out the door to watch which direction they're fleeing. So, my friend was standig in the street with a lot of adrenalin pumping through his veins when he realized he was wearing absolutely nothing but his Glock... 4 Quote
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted October 20 Posted October 20 Funny story . We had new neighbors move in about 15 years ago . They had a daughter about 16 -17 Years old . The parents was gone over a weekend like the second or third weekend after they moved in. We still had one home at the time. So we left the back door unlocked when we went to bed Saturday night . The Daughter told her male friend where they lived now . And told him she would leave the back door unlocked. That he could come in the back door and she would be upstairs in bed . Yep you guessed right 🤣 He got the wrong house ! As he come up the steps I hear my wife saying who the ***** are you ? Your in the wrong house ! I jumped out of bed Naked of corse! S&W J 38 in hand . Stick it in his face and walk him back down stairs completely naked all the way to the back door . He was shaking and saying dont shoot me im sorry ! I said you never thought you was going to die tonight by a fat naked man did you ! 😳 Maybe you need to thank God and go back home before something else goes wrong tonight. 🙏 Never was a word said by our new neighbors either lol Rooster 2 2 Quote

Chantry Posted October 20 Posted October 20 (edited) I'm planning on my paleness blinding him. And I expect some of you will be charged with cruel and unusual punishment if you do confront the intruder naked. Edited October 20 by Chantry 5 Quote

Cypress Sun Posted October 20 Posted October 20 My Dad always tells a story, that I've heard many times about waking up to a strange noise inside of his rented house in Vietnam. While sleeping in the nude, he heard a noise that sounded like someone breaking into the house. He grabbed the nearest gun, a M-60 machinegun with a short belt, ran out of the bedroom completely naked, armed with a M-60....much to the surprise of the woman hired to clean the house. She quit on the spot. Don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard the tale many times and it never varies. 2 Quote

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 20 Posted October 20 To the OP. It’s Hollywood, where the girls in horror flicks only go downstairs in their panties to check out the threat. Why would they cover up first in this movie unless it’s to draw attention to the fact they were already nude? Quote

Highwall Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Being naked in your own house is experiencing complete freedom from the outside world! Enjoy being nude but keep the essentials within reach, I.E. a robe, a firearm and a muffeta sandwich!😝 1 1 Quote
watab kid Posted October 21 Posted October 21 "..... And I expect some of you will be charged with cruel and unusual punishment if you do confront the intruder naked. Edited 18 hours ago by Chantry...." im near certain of it Quote
Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 If your gunna' go naked take more than your 'pee ' shooter Quote
Dapper Dave Posted October 22 Posted October 22 I subscribe to the classic medieval meaning - nude is unclothed, naked is unarmed. I am rarely naked. On the other hand, if I have to respond out of the shower, my secondary worry will be Greenpeace running in to drag me back to the sea... 3 Quote
