- psyops2000, on 10/10/2007, -25/+203Having a handgun or a shotgun by your bedside is more of a guarantee that you'll survive instead of playing Braveheart in your bedroom.
- sjbdallas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+137How will this protect the elderly from robots that want to steal their medication?
- Livewired, on 10/10/2007, -4/+105Handgun may be effective, but this has the coolness factor. Very barbaric/scary. I want one.
- meshman, on 10/10/2007, -4/+102When you're the attacker, this would be handy for beating your victim before he/she wakes up.
- tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+82I dunno about you guys, but my dresser is a suit of armor, so this would match quite nicely.
- kkeith02, on 10/10/2007, -10/+76This is what happens when your society outlaws guns!
- Brick86, on 10/10/2007, -2/+46Alternative for the link http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/en-garde-the-safe-bedside-table-143909.php
- super_spyder, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39aren't shotguns still legal in england? you dont even have to own any bullets, just the sound of a 12 gauge being cocked is enough to make most people wet their pants.
- Amoveo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36An Armoire perhaps?
- psyops2000, on 10/10/2007, -5/+40Gun vs. a stick and shield? Are you ***** kidding me?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+34Often they brings a glove and ball too
- BrapAllgood, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35TERRIBLE page. Awesome idea.
- SPECOPS, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31Agreed, but in some Countries, possession of a handgun/shotgun is illegal. So, there seems to be a market for those who are either against owning one, or those who aren't allowed to own/possess one.
- zabouth, on 10/10/2007, -3/+27look at the domain name .co.uk and think about it
- bbschaefer, on 10/10/2007, -9/+33At the risk of sounding like a gun nut, I believe that if you live in a country that bans personal ownership of firearms altogether (not just handguns), then you have something to fear from your government and need those guns all the more.
- gamemaster357, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21i thought the title meant that if you rolled off the bed....your table wouldnt break your face when you landed on it...
- arpad, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23Because someone breaking into your home in the night will *not* be carrying a handgun. They're against the law you know.
- tehpwnerofn00bs, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22No a club and a shield. Makes all the difference.
- kd1s, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Sheesh, a club and shield?
At least we're not outright restricted from owning hanguns in the U.S. That coupled with my states Castle Doctrine (RIGL 11-8-8) pretty much means any perp that comes in is going out in a bag. - OGTL, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Yeah, like developing a sense of humor in your childhood.
- corvairkid, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19I think what kkeith02 was trying to say is that when you outlaw guns, only outlaws (and the government, police, military, etc.) will have guns.
- ohanon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free
Because they're made of metal
And robots are strong - Amoveo, on 10/10/2007, -6/+21Yes because it's always better to carry firearms around just in case you need to shoot a government official.
- OGTL, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Just because it's illegal, doesn't mean you can't do it.
- JrGhoull, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17first words that the unsuspecting robber hears? SPPAAARRRTTAAA!!!!
- codyfrisch, on 10/10/2007, -8/+22breadfred, if you're in the UK you're the REASON those of us in the US know we must always be vigil against the tyranny of government. Thats the primary reason for our second amendment. it is not about defense. The entire bill of rights was created to give the people power over the government to prevent tyranny, its not about protecting our "rights" its about us being over the government. So yes Amoveo, I'm glad I have a gun so that if the day comes, I can take my country back from a tyrannical government. I hope we can do it through the election of officials who believe in and follow our constitution again. I really don't want to have to do it the old fashioned way.
- scribby, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18"Never bring a knife to a gunfight". Intruders are often armed with more than a bat.
- euro22, on 12/17/2008, -0/+13American Version: http://www.secureit-usa.com/images/weapon-cab4md.jpg
- Fraff5, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Blades don't run out of ammo either.
- jasgeo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13club & shield. dugg for being totally primal
- walmartconnect, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Amazing, someone gets it.
- 2gig, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15Spartans! Prepare to awake!
- corvairkid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Dude, who's breaking into YOUR house?
- lcmatt, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15As gun laws in the UK are much stricter the table will do the trick thanks.
- ihatebillg, on 10/10/2007, -10/+21True.
You no longer worry about being woken up by a bullet perching your skull.
30000 people are killed by firearms in the US compared to 20-30 in the UK. - acceptab1euname, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11The New York Yankees, from the sound of it.
- ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Because using only one of them would be ridiculous.
- corvairkid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Brakes - act of stopping or decelerating.
Breaks - boot-***** the front door.
Huked on fonics wurked for you. - ygrof, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11That would be an ineffective zombie defense weapon. It would take several blows to bash the head in, though the shield would provide some degree of protection.
- acceptab1euname, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11If you're in a roomfull of zombies, all you need is one bullet.
- TheTrueAPlus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10What would happen if you stood on that metal spike holding the table leg up? Ouch!
- mattcoady, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Finally I'll be ready for when the Persian empire descends upon me in the middle of the night.
- walmartconnect, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9People high on drugs: making Jacketed Hollow Points worth the cost since 1890!
- psyops2000, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Whatever man, I'm gonna paint my face half blue and wear kilt from now on.
- corvairkid, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Remember those parts in Army of Darkness where Bruce Campbell has a shotgun and everyone else doesn't?
Hail to the King, baby. - subtle, on 10/10/2007, -14/+23Having a loaded weapon by your bedside is a great way to get shot.
- dagobah77, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11"20-30 in the UK"? Do you have a source? I'm not saying it isn't true, I'm just wondering where you got that statistic.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+12Chuck Norris sneers at bedside clubs and shields. He laughs at them. Ha, he says. Yes, Ha. A real man doesn't need these against a nighttime intruder. A real man, like him, takes his pee-induced stiffy and beats the intruder to death with it. This is why burglars the world around know you don't crawl into Chuck Norris's bedroom window. Because it can end up only one way. Covered with dick-shaped bruises.
- elipabst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8The flip side is that I know a surprising number of brits who have been stabbed with knives, no one I've personally known in the US has been shot or killed with a gun.
- cawpin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9shotgun > everything in your house
