ha ha. Probably shouldn't have tried it on himself. "Yes, it does work."
They sealed off the street for an old revolver and a handful of shells? Gee, then they would have sealed off the whole town if they looked in the trunk of my car.

POLICE cordoned off a quiet residential streeet in Cheshunt after a Wild West-style pistol, a cache of bullets and a stun gun were found dumped there.
Norman Sidnell, 79, of Roundmoor Drive, was stunned when he uncovered the deadly arsenal of weapons in a black holdall in the street outside his home on Thursday.
The widower said: "I thought it was a black plastic bag. I went to pick it up and it seemed so heavy.
"I opened it up and inside was a Tesco carrier bag tied up. I was shocked at what I found - it was exactly the same as the six shooters you see cowboys use, with a barrel seven or eight inches long. "There were also at least 30 bullets in there, and a black plastic box with wires coming out, which I was told by a policeman was a stun gun."
Mr Sidnell drove straight to Cheshunt police station in Turners Hill, Cheshunt, and handed over the bag at reception.
"They were quite surprised!" he said. "It's a bit of an unusual find."
A Hertfordshire police spokeswoman confirmed that the revolver was an old Smith and Wesson model.
"It has been recovered by officers and its ownership is being investigated," she said.

Oh, the horror! The horror!
Pansies.
Why didn't he just keep it?
I'd have kept it and kept my mouth shut!!!
Thank the lord it wasn't a beeber.
When I think of the Wild West I think of a SAA not a Smith. When I think of a cache I think of a cave full of ammo, not 30 rounds.
30 rounds? That wouldn't do me for a warm up!
Written by the ignorant, for the ignorant, it would appear.
If they think THAT is a deadly arsenal let them come to my house and have a look in the gun safe.
I'm sure my safe's contents could cause cardiac arrest in the average anti-gun liberal. But that's not saying much. And I know a guy who ... well, never mind that.
Maybe it was really a stune gun!
