No Shots Fired

I find it seriously hard to believe that a man who intended on actually carrying out some sort of dastardly deed would carry a sword and a shotgun. While carrying a gun around may not raise suspicions, a sword definitely will. Who knows what you're plans are for that SWORD!

So it was no great surprise that police arrested Michael Steven Gorbey. And before you start thinking it was some teenage prank, the man is 38 years old-well and truly old enough to know better.

Still, his shotgun that he carried (along with the sword) was never fired and his destination remains a mystery to the public. Was he planning a massive attack on his own people? We don't know so we will refrain from adding this case to our list of USA gun violence. After all, there was no violence to report...just a normal guy walking around with a big ol' shotgun and his sword.
