> Any wagers as to how much longer he will work for the Army?

Haven't read much downthread yet, but I'll guess he'll have a hard time keeping his job. Now if he worked for the BATF...

Seriously, reading the article doesn't tell much. It isn't hard for me to imagine the guy was a serious collector with a lot of time & money invested in the hobby. It can also be easy to surmise there wasn't any real danger in him staying in the home, but the "authorities" wanted him out because their policies didn't give consideration to specific circumstances where it would make more sense for them to allow him to remain. Really, there's not enough detail here to know for sure he was even intenting to "brandish" the M-1. He picked up the gun and started to point it at the chief? Well either he did or he didn't. I find the "news" story somewhat inflammatory and short on facts, to boot. Hopefully there are plenty of objective witnesses and a good attorney available to keep the whole thing fair.
