Disaster Preparedness: Alien Edition
Dane Eisenman felt he needed to arm himself -- against the impending space alien attack.
Every 30,000 years, Eisenman told a gun seller, aliens who live under the sun come to Earth to kill humans, and he planned to be prepared.
The seller initially thought Eisenman was joking, but became concerned at the talk of killing aliens, and called police after selling the Fairfield, Conn., man a .30-06 rifle he had advertised in a classified ad. Police did a background check and discovered that Eisenman is a convicted felon -- and therefore prohibited from owning handguns or rifles.
"Thank God for the seller being so astute, because this guy could have mistaken an innocent human being for an alien," said a spokesman for the Fairfield police. "This wasn't a Star Wars light saber he purchased. It was an extremely dangerous high-powered weapon."
An arrest warrant was issued on July 1 for Eisenman, 57, and he turned himself in on a charge of criminal possession of a firearm. He was released on a promise to appear in court.
From the look of his Mug Shot, we'd say this isn't the first time Eisenman has tangled with ...uh... aliens.

Are you sure HE's not the alien coming to kill humans?

That was my thought, too, Jim. That he's already a product of the invasion.
But I'm glad that the Fairfield police pointed out that a firearm is an extremely dangerous high-powered weapon. Some are just more so than others. A .30-06 is a long range weapon, not something you just carry down the street and swing up when you want to blow someone away. So unless the guy has reason to believe that aliens are congregating out in the hills, I'm wondering if he intended to try shooting them "under" the sun before they get to Earth.
(No, I'm not arguing that a felon shouldn't have been busted for firearm possession; that's exactly what the laws are for. Prosecution of criminals.)

He looks as if he's already been chewed up and spit out.
