Maryland State Police say they have shot and killed a Cecil County man who confronted state troopers with swords and what appeared to be guns.

Police say 25-year-old Jason E. Honaker of Elkton was shot and killed in the incident Friday night. He was taken to a hospital in Wilmington, Del., but died of his injuries.

Police say Honaker called state police and said he would kill his neighbor if officers didn't come to his apartment. Two officers responded and Honaker confronted them with a two-foot sword and what appeared to be a rifle. It was actually an air rifle.

Well, that explains it then. You’re brilliant.

For a while people were making sword-gun combos. IIRC, they were never very popular, and pretty much disappeared with the invention of the bayonet.

Very interesting. I'm wondering how I went 64 years without every hearing of them before. Did you see the one labeled "useless.jpg?"

I hope it hotlinks.

Hmmm, think it might shoot a trifle low?

It’s not labeled “useless” for nothing, I guess. Lotta foot danger there. Maybe that firearms instructor should get one?

Yes, all that steel may prevent kickback, or you could put your eye out. Who knows?   :-)

You know for a fact that I’m going to the coffee shop on that one, as soon as I get up off the floor.

I thought you had my back. They have low-carb danish? Cool. I hope it’s better than my recipe. Sigh...
