Authorities said a naked 91-year-old man was able to hold a drunken intruder at gunpoint until deputies arrived. Robert E. Thompson jumped out of bed early Saturday when his dog starting growling and attacking the intruder. He said he got his revolver and went out back to let the guy know how he felt about home invaders. Thompson, a World War II veteran, said he didn't even notice he was standing outside in the dark without any clothes on. Authorities arrived to find a drunk intruder being held outside by a naked homeowner.

The 26-year-old intruder was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on a burglary charge.

Impressive for a 91 year old man. Surprised he's moving around so well for being so old.

Like M198 said, the homeowner did come from the greatest generation.

Check out this link 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OKozYtzkYQ' for more proof. How many of us under the age of 40 would have done this?!? This hero later said that he was just protecting his wife.
