How many times can they show that dude putting it under the bed. What we really want to see is the sheets getting caught in the trigger and “making the Earth move” at just the right moment.

Brings whole new meaning to “Riding shotgun.”
sulla on October 22, 2007 at 9:19 PM
Or, instead of spending $40, you could spend probably $5 or $10 and make your own
RightWinged on October 22, 2007 at 9:19 PM
“Many are buying one for each side of the bed”
Kind of brings a whole new level to the “don’t go to bed mad” notion.
bbz123 on October 22, 2007 at 9:21 PM
I would be so worried about sleep-shooting.
MamaAJ on October 22, 2007 at 9:21 PM
I Like it!
abinitioadinfinitum on October 22, 2007 at 9:22 PM
Had to read it to believe it:
Question: Does the iPhone have a holster?
Kini on October 22, 2007 at 9:24 PM
I don’t know about a shotgun, but it looks like a great place to keep my Louisville Slugger! (Remember – turn the brand away from the intruder)
With a shotgun, there’s too many decisions:
- Unloaded or loaded?
– Unchambered or chambered?
– Safety on or off?
– Intruder or my mother-in-law?
Heh – they need a 6 shell holder that clips to the thing, so you can leave it unloaded but the shells are easily accessible.
Definitely for a home without children.
Timothy S. Carlson on October 22, 2007 at 9:27 PM
In case anyone is shopping for me, I’d rather have an i-Phone.
RedWinged Blackbird on October 22, 2007 at 9:27 PM
That is brilliant. That’s going to save allot of lives
TheSitRep on October 22, 2007 at 9:28 PM
I have one of those to hold my beer and cheetos. Works great! I modified it to fit my Chinese throwing star clip. The dogs chewed up my nun-chucks, unfortunately.
robblefarian on October 22, 2007 at 9:28 PM
Cool – when you draw it from the holster – a picture of a pistol displays on the screen!
And it can automatically call your next-of-kin afterwards…
Timothy S. Carlson on October 22, 2007 at 9:31 PM
That is brilliant. That’s going to save allot of The right lives
TheSitRep on October 22, 2007 at 9:32 PM
I have something like that…it’s called a floor, and I already own one!
stonemeister on October 22, 2007 at 9:34 PM
What is protecting the iPhone late at night?
I like the idea of two “Backups” – one for each side of bed…. can’t be too safe!!!
IntheNet on October 22, 2007 at 9:36 PM
A .357 mag revolver.
RedWinged Blackbird on October 22, 2007 at 9:41 PM
Does it play the dramatic music when you install it?
eeyore on October 22, 2007 at 9:41 PM
No longer will I sleep with my gun under my pillow.
No longer will I wake up with hand gun imprint on my face.
Kini on October 22, 2007 at 9:41 PM
Alternatively, for those Hot Air readers practicing the Ace of Spades lifestyle and living in a van down by the river, please consider The Judge.
see-dubya on October 22, 2007 at 9:43 PM
Do they make a version for my carseat?
stonemeister on October 22, 2007 at 9:43 PM
Off Topic: Michael Chertoff has a blog. With a comments section.
The Apologist on October 22, 2007 at 9:48 PM
Link isn’t working for me. Would that be the Taurus Judge?
TexasDan on October 22, 2007 at 9:56 PM
haha now I just gotta get my gun before we crown Rudy. You gotta figure people don’t keep their guns loaded – don’t ya? But hey don’t tell anyone I don’t have a gun. . . I’d rather they think I do.
ThackerAgency on October 22, 2007 at 9:57 PM
Indeed it would, Texas Dan (still wrks for me). Complete with endorsement from the little bald-headed guy Benny Hill used to smack on the head.
Or maybe Dick Metcalf. I get them confused.
see-dubya on October 22, 2007 at 9:59 PM
I wouldn’t use it for home/self defense, but it might be a pretty handy thing to have in the boat at night.
RedWinged Blackbird on October 22, 2007 at 10:06 PM
Guess with this, you have to make sure your shoes are under the bed, you don’t want to trip on the gun and shoot anyone else in the room.
StuLongIsland on October 22, 2007 at 10:09 PM
If your bed has a gun rack, you might be a re……..
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 22, 2007 at 10:11 PM
That is funny. As much as I support the Second, that ad is SNL over-the-top comedy. In fact, the SNL writers are not good enough to come up with that. They should make one for the bathtub, too.
jihadwatcher on October 22, 2007 at 10:16 PM
They sell these in NY too. Only it is for a rolled up copy of the constitution to read to your intruder.
Rudy designed it.
AZCON on October 22, 2007 at 10:20 PM
i want an itty bitty one for my itty bitty unregistered automatic pistol.
mimi1220 on October 22, 2007 at 10:24 PM
What’d they say? Some people buy one for each side of the bed! That’s what I’m talkin’ about — Ma and Pa each with their own 12 gauge side by side to grab at 3am in the pitch dark. Heh.
Jaibones on October 22, 2007 at 10:24 PM
Oh, no you did not!
Jaibones on October 22, 2007 at 10:25 PM
Well that solves that problem….I am not going to buy any used shotgun…..well…not without a blacklight inspection anyway.
Limerick on October 22, 2007 at 10:36 PM
So I can have a sore back and a loaded weapon right at child height?
Awesome.
BadgerHawk on October 22, 2007 at 10:51 PM
I’m going to wait for the embossed Remington Anniversary version with Wayne LaPierre’s signature engraved on it.
Dusty on October 22, 2007 at 10:51 PM
Ha! And a little mini one for a handgun on the side of the lazy-boy.
BadgerHawk on October 22, 2007 at 10:54 PM
I’ll take two
400lb Gorilla on October 22, 2007 at 10:55 PM
4in Colt Trooper in 38spl in the open crate nitestand in gun rug. We don’t need no stinkin’ shotguns!!
JimK on October 22, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Muy excelente.
Muchos gravitas!
RushBaby on October 22, 2007 at 11:21 PM
I wonder when DC is going to ban this and New Hampshire is going to require it
lsutiger on October 22, 2007 at 11:28 PM
I’m getting The Judge for Christmas this year.
My gunsmith warned me to acquire whatever handguns I want before January 2009, in case there’s a Dem in the White House.
LibbyLA on October 22, 2007 at 11:35 PM
…not intended for children… I love it.
Things that go “boom” in the night.
Mojave Mark on October 22, 2007 at 11:55 PM
I’m just not so sure about this. One night I woke up, because I was I drinking hand lotion. After that, I make a point to keep guns and poisons ten feet from my bed.
thuja on October 22, 2007 at 11:57 PM
“The patented Backup device…”
Patented. Yeah right.
Jim-Bob bent some metal and tossed a couple of welds on it – and said to Billy-Lou: “Ain’t it the cat’s pajamas?” Billy-Lou replied: “Y’all shud git a pattern on dat idear. Yew culd get rich!”
notta_dhimmi on October 22, 2007 at 11:59 PM
Dude, if mom-in-law is in the habit of sneaking in the bedroom at O-dark-thirty you might consider using the shotgun on yourself.
infidel4life on October 23, 2007 at 12:10 AM
infidel4life on October 23, 2007 at 12:10 AM
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
m1a1usmc on October 23, 2007 at 1:07 AM
Seriously!!!
4shoes on October 23, 2007 at 1:10 AM
You should have known by now, it puts the lotion on its SKIN!
RushBaby on October 23, 2007 at 1:31 AM
What if it, uh, er, you know, went off prematurely? Not that I, uh, um, ahhhhhhh…..damn.
PatrickS on October 23, 2007 at 1:41 AM
There’s a difference?
leepro on October 23, 2007 at 2:21 AM
I can think of better ways to spend $40.
georgej on October 23, 2007 at 4:26 AM
Anyone who is having problems seeing Flash videos and has NoScript installed in FireFox, temporarily ‘allow’ Google Analytics. I know, I hate them too but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Seems G.A. is getting embedded in a lot of Flash clips recently.
Coronagold on October 23, 2007 at 7:11 AM
Very disappointing. I was hoping for a Claymore mine commercial.
As for the $40, a box of JHP and some time at the range is a lot better use.
steveegg on October 23, 2007 at 7:33 AM
I would be the only casualty if I got CLP lube oil stains on my wife’s 800 thread count sheets.
Get a scary dog for early warning and keep the pistol grip pump on the shelf close by.
Alden Pyle on October 23, 2007 at 7:37 AM
Wouldn’t that be great?!?!?
LMAO!
Talon on October 23, 2007 at 8:07 AM
Opinions may vary, but for me it would be loaded, unchambered, safety off. The sound of the slide racking may be enough to convince the intruder (or mother-in-law) that they’re outgunned and leave your property without you having to fire a shot.
James on October 23, 2007 at 8:16 AM
Does it fit on a Craftmatic adjustable bed? ‘Cause then I wouldn’t even have to sit up to aim. And if I rigged up the Clapper to the trigger somehow… Hmmm…
saint kansas on October 23, 2007 at 9:12 AM
Yeah, this is okay but a better Christmas gift for the Hot Air reader in your life is the Best Of Hot Air on DVD.
Any word on a release date?
ScottMcC on October 23, 2007 at 11:47 AM
Sorry AP — I just now got it. Kiss kiss bang bang. I’m an idiot, and that’s hilarious.
Numenorean on October 23, 2007 at 3:38 PM
I concur. If the dogs don’t discourage them or stop them, the very-loud-in-a-dark-house-at-night sound of a shotgun being racked will hopefully encourage a quick egress. I wouldn’t mind having one of those for my Persuader. If I had kids though I would install a biometric wall safe near the bed.
