    Default This guy is nuts.

    IIRC it is illegal to carry a sword in Massachusetts let alone a rifle. This is one of those stupid "I dare you" items. Like carrying a rubber gun.. or joking about a bomb in your bag.

    Folks are on edge .. heck I'm on edge ..

    Considering the mall and school shootings recently and the constant "threat" of terrorism against soft targets I might very well have 911'd on this guy myself.

    It is a comment on our society that in people's minds they see gun when anything even remotely like a weapon is seen. The Brady bunch has done it's job well.

    So would you drop a dime( or is it 50cents if you can even find a pay phone?) on everyone you see have a beer/cocktail at a bar/restaurant ?

    It's the same thing. Guy has done NOTHING wrong, even if it is a sword..( well ok I'm sure there is some law about just carrying a sword around but does that really need a whole SWAT team ?) How do you know he didn't just buy it at the mall ninja store? or maybe is returning it ?

    Just cuz I have a beer with dinner doesn't make me a DUI driver.

    And hell by the numbers I'm more likely to get killed by the DUI driver then the guy with a sword. ( you EVER heard of someone getting murdered with a sword? well ok I actually know of two ( kid killed his parents back in the late 80's- early 90's) but I've heard of hundreds if not 1000's being killed by DUI drivers.)

    13,636 total murders in 2009
    10,839 DUI deaths in 2009 ( 33,808 total traffic deaths)

    So Ok you ARE more likely to get murdered period then you are to get killed in a DUI... but I bet the number of those 13,636 people killed with a sword in 2009 was less then 20.

    If I'm in the mall and I see a guy with a slung rifle I wouldn't call the police, because I'm not scared of guns.

    If he shouldered the rifle and started shooting, I'd shoot him. Then call the police.
