Chicks and Guns
Jennifer Aniston holds a burglar at gunpoint until police arrive:
Aniston reportedly held the suspect, 33-year-old Tadd Bruce, at gunpoint and told him to sit on the floor until she decided what to do.
“She made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of the drawers and cabi-nets onto the floor,” Burke said.
When Burke and the police arrived, Bruce complained about being forced to clean the home at gunpoint.
Nice.

Update: Some say the story is not legit. Seems to be a prank.

I don’t think the story is legit. I checked Google News and the only reference I could find was the one in your link.

Same here, no references except the press release. I emailed the link to The Smoking Gun, they might be able to find a police report and mug shot.

It’s also not a legit press release site, either. It’s based in Bulgaria, according to Google news. I think gun bloggers are falling for a prank.

Some people at a conservative website believe they have uncovered the original story on which this is based:

“cabi-nets ”
At one time I trained rookie cops on night shift. I had one who wrote in a report that the Chester Draws had been gone through. Thanks for reminding me. lol

From the Editor at TSG when I sent him the link and asked if it was true.

I’m thinking that the story about Aniston is based off of a true story, as I recall reading something similar some time ago, although the victim was an older woman, not a celebrity.

Unc, I know I read that story in the NRA’s Rifleman magazine but don’t remember the issue. They have that monthly feature highlighting people using firearms for self defense and it was an old lady, I believe, not a celebrity.
