“The article states he had 300# of black powder - quite a bit more flammable. They’re lucky they didn’t blow the place up if they were using jaws of life on a safe full of that stuff.”
Yup. Black powder is an explosive and if it was stored inside a safe could make quite a bomb.
Of course, who would expect their safe to be torn open by the cops using a piece of equipment meant to save lives. I wonder if they had a warrant? Sounds like he did not agree to open the safe himself.
I hope he sues them for a million bucks.
And gets his 300# of black powder back! And all his guns!!
