He confronted a burglar in his home Thursday night with his bodyguard&#8217;s gun. I guess the bodyguard leaves the gun legally registered to him at his employer&#8217;s house. Anyway, Bardwil called the police after he frightened away the burglar and turned over the video of him during his confrontation, which the police promptly used as evidence to lock up Bardwil for using a gun that isn&#8217;t registered to him. <\/p>\n<p>Bardwil says that he&#8217;s afraid to sleep in his house without a gun. He has good reason to be scared. <a href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2011\/10\/05\/party-heist-bags-300g\/\">Barely two years ago<\/a>, he lost $300k to armed robbers while he was tied up and threatened.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI was with a couple friends. There was a buzz at the door. I assumed it was somebody I knew,\u201d Bardwil told The Post in a blow-by-blow account of the 2:45 p.m. robbery at his first-floor apartment on East 51st Street near Second Avenue, where the creeps swiped $300,000 worth of designer watches, diamond jewelry and cash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a large black male with a gun [and an accomplice]. We were all tied up and relieved of our watches, wallets, money,\u201d Bardwil said, adding that the crooks clearly knew he had video-surveillance equipment concealed in a closet \u2014 they dismantled it first \u2014 and a safe hidden in a drawer beneath his bed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wonder why he doesn&#8217;t have a gun registered in his name. He&#8217;s lucky that he didn&#8217;t shoot the burglar. New York would throw away the key. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROS sends us a link to The Blaze article about George Bardwil, a millionaire who lives &hellip; <a title=\"Millionaire arrested in NYC for defending his home\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=37586\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Millionaire arrested in NYC for defending his home<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37586\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
