Fun With Guns: Good Guy With a Gun vs.waving a gun Bad Guy with a Gun.
Life can be very confusing. Sometimes it’s hard to tell who is the good guy with a gun and who is the bad guy with a gun.
The story goes like this …
Joshua Snow lives in Oklahoma. Late one night, he saw some people trying to break into his car in the driveway. Wearing only his underpants, he grabbed his gun and went outside. The would-be burglars took off running, with Underwear Joshua chasing them. I mean, what’s the good in having a gun if you can’t run down the street in the middle of the night in your underwear to waving a gun around?
The police tell the media …
“That’s kind of where things get a little gray. We don’t actually know what took place there,” said Clark.
Snow was worried enough to bang on Jimmy Null’s door in the middle of the night.
Null grabbed his 12 gauge shotgun when he saw a man with a gun in his underwear.
Well, you gotta admit, that’s not something you see every day on your front porch.
The neighbor said seeing a man in his underpants carrying a gun in the middle of the night “made him suspicious.” I can understand that.
So, the neighbor shot him.
And this is how the story ends …
Snow is expected to recover. Null is not expected to face any charges.
In all the chaos, the burglars got away.
Well played, gun guys. Well played.
Thanks to Irene for the heads up.
Perhaps the biggest threat is stupid guys with guns.
1He looked at the panties and was deciding if that was a gun or something else but never looked at the face. Hmmmm…
2a lot of these stories a sort of humorous in a stupid kind’a way. but this one’s just funny. best laugh i’ve had in, ah, well… 8 or 10 hours anyway. and of course it’s at someone elses expense.
3The Gun Loons will try to convince you that this kind of idiocy doesn’t happen near as much as it used to—that it’s just the Evil Librul Media’s fault for reporting such incidents in a more noticeable fashion. I don’t buy it for a minute, and neither should you. Way too many people now purchase guns with the sweaty hope that they can be used against other people just as soon as possible, for the flimsiest of reasons. Think of a nation filled to the brim with George Zimmermans, because that’s pretty much where we’re at. Thanks for nothing, NRA.
4That’s the real problem with guns – by purchasing a gun, folks think that they instantly acquire the combined skills of Dirty Harry and Marshall Dillon. Alas, these were fictional characters, and so these characters’ skills as shown on TV existed only in the imagination.
In other words, people purchasing guns often have only imaginary gun-handling skills – not real-world skills. As George W’s Iraq plan showed, the real world is rarely sympathetic to macho fantasies.
5Too bad he didn’t have his good guy white hat on, none of this would have happened.
6In baseball parlance, attempted double steal was thwarted(temporarily) by gunslinger Snow. In brief(s),pun intended,the rundown was voided by reliever Null and his scattergun arm who promptly blew away pursuit,persuant to his Second Amendment rights to shoot whatever shows up on his doorstep in the middle of the night,near naked and armed to the teeth. Take it away Meat Loaf-here’s the throw,here’s the play at the plate. Holy Cow,I think he’s gonna make i…….stop right there!…….Credits go to Jim Steinman and Paradise by the Dashboard Lights.
7Laughing out loud. I really think someone should make a comedy routine out of this. It could go along with that old story about the guy who was fixing his kitchen sink sans pajamas and the cat came along and then his wife came along and then the EMS came along….you know the story. Any movie makers here? or song writers?
8Bernard Terway @ 6
LOL.
9Nope, ya just can’t make this stuff up.
One would think the NRA would say something about gun safety at some point, but…. no. Nothing to see here. Move along, folks….
I suggest a New Rule for Home Defense: You can have as many firearms as you like as long as you keep all the ammo within the walls of your own house. Any ammo fired & escaping the building will result in the shooter getting 10 years in Somalia per bullet. They can take their own weapon with them but, no ammo.
To paraphrase the great GWB, who allowed the AWB to expire: is our gun nuts learning?
Good Grief.
10I think the NRA is really a psychopathic sect of Darwinists. I’m thinking they are really weeding out the ones who don’t have a clue about survival.
11Alien life forms. That’s my term. Psychopathic alien life forms. Anyone mind if I use some of this dialogue in a story?
12Damn! Funny but not really funny at the same time. Some years ago in my neighborhood there was a home invastion. The invader forced the homeowner out the front door with an empty gun in his hand and the cops killed him immediately even though he wasn’t aiming the gun and was yelling that he was the victim. The cops caught the invader – alive. No further comment necessary.
13Joe and I had a good laugh. Thanks!
14Still holding out for homemade gingersnaps as weapons. Remember the nice lady at a school who talked the gunman into not shooting anyone very recently?
15When the NRA proposed that you need a good guy with a gun to counteract the bad guy with the gun, they didn’t take into account that there is a critical mass of maximum good guys with guns, and beyond that it sends their equation into the realm of chaos theory. Which includes guys with guns in their underwear. If these are the new NRA poster boys, I suggest they tape them up on the wall backwards.
16Told this story to a gun nut and got an explanation that seemed logical to him. He said the outcome would have been entirely different if the guy had been wearing briefs instead of boxers. I didn’t bother to ask him why he thought so.
17The NRA once supported gun control!

18Lost somewhere in this story is how the shooting was Obama’s fault but I’m sure the NRA/TEA Party will find a way to cast blame.
19I don’t think the NRA will publish this one in their Armed Citizen articles.
20@Marge Wood–I’ve frequently suggested to those who want to tell me the incident was not because of the gun to try telling the story again but substituting “sponge” in every instance of “gun” to see if the get the same outcome.
But I still want the gun owners’ insurance to pick up that medical bill–and the cost of the police involvement…
21Mr. Snow and Mr. Null have proved, once again, that owning a gun doesn’t keep you safe. On the contrary, it gets you in deeper
22s**t.
Sam in Kyle- Spot on. Due to attribution rules,I can’t post the link,but I would urge everyone that needs a good laugh to go to-The Bennington Vale Evening,scroll down the page to story about Oklanoma shootings and read what whackjob NRA head from San Narcisco County has to say. Thorn Havershabe blames Obama’s socialist administration for making kids lazy and bored. Then he claims the three teens that murdered Aussie Lane might have a stand your ground defense because Australians,like Crocodile Dundee and Oscar Pistorius(South African btw) look mean. Yup,America’s gun problem is simply not enough guns.
23Mike from Iowa, that must have been one threatening Aussie, considering that he was on foot and they were in a car and shot him in the back.
I don’t see how people can say things like that without their internal organs leaping up and strangling them.
24So in this story there were two gun nuts, and two nuts with a gun?
I’m betting when Null pulled that trigger something else went into the underpants, meaning that on the porch we had Null and void.
Now, if it had been a woman with a pair of .38s in HER underwear, I’m sure he’d have held his (gun)fire.
Is that a gun in your underwear, or are you just happy to chase car burglars?
Banana clip, meet banana hammock.
It’s no wonder he couldn’t stop them burglars with that little pea shooter in his pants.
25I think that, once these types buy a gun, they can’t WAIT to use it on someone else.
I’m guessing the first thought running through their heads, when the one saw the thieves, or when the other saw the underpants intruder, was “Hot damn! I finally gits to SHOOT someone!”
Also, am I the only one envisioning Captain Underpants in a mullet?
