BOULDER — It wasn't exactly pistols at 30 paces, but police say a security company supervisor and a restaurateur shot each other with Tasers in a confrontation over parking.
Officers said neither man needed medical attention after the confrontation Saturday, but Harvey Epstein, a co-owner of Mamacitas restaurant in Boulder, was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing and using a stun gun.
A police report said Epstein and Casey M. Dane, a supervisor for Colorado Security Services Inc., were arguing over a metal boot that one of Dane's guards had clamped on a wheel of a van parked behind Mamacitas.
The guard claimed the van, owned by a Mamacitas employee, was on property he was hired to patrol. The van owner denied that.
Dane told police he was afraid Epstein was going to hit him with a 2-foot-long pair of bolt cutters. Epstein told police he had only tried to remove the boot.
Epstein, 36, of Longmont told police that Dane put his hand on a holstered pistol and threatened to shoot him.
Dane told the AP he never threatened to shoot Epstein.
Both men drew Tasers.

Shocking!
Tasers at 10 paces. - BTTT
But Boulder is so peaceful. Couldn’t they just share a bong and get along?
They both forgot to shout “don’t Tase me bro!”
The guy on the right won, he has more Z’s.
Now if only Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr had access to...
How might our history have been different?
You could make a fortune off of Pay-per-View.
At least they both survived to learn from the incident.
