A Florida man pulled a 3-foot sword on police officers when they approached a vehicle that was parked on the side of the road on Saturday.
Deputies from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office approached a Nissan Altima in North Fort Meyers because it was blocking the bike line, WBBH-TV reported. Inside of the car, they found a man reclined in the driver’s seat.
After learning that the man provided the deputies with a fake name, the deputies asked him to step outside of the vehicle. As police tried to remove him, he reached towards his center console and drew the three-foot blade, attached to a metal dragon-shaped handle, according to the outlet.
Deputies attempted to tase the man, who was later identified as 34-year-old Randy Lynn Austerman, but were unsuccessful. He then began poking the weapon out of his car window at the officers.

Does chain mail short out tasers?
He thinks he’s a Targaryen.
“Heh, that’s not a knife...”
His real name is Hunter Biden.
Why didn’t he have an attack-trained alligator?
He was driving to Balmoral hoping the new His Maj would dub him knight.
Don’t bring a sword to a gun fight. or a taser fight.
“As police tried to remove him, he reached towards his center console and drew the three-foot blade, attached to a metal dragon-shaped handle...”
If he yelled “there can be only one!” while doing it, I’d vote to acquit.
Did they shoot it out of his hands?
Probably would act as a Faraday cage, so the current would travel on the outside of the chainmail and not through your body.
Attempted suicide by cop?

“Nissan Altima”
ROFL!
Never mind. I read that as his name.
Yes, it would. The electricity would flow between the terminals across the mail. Direct short.
Probably would make a pretty good spark, though.
Florida Man always has the best headlines!
“Don’t bring a sword to a gun fight. or a taser fight.”
