\"Gun<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Old Trooper sends a link from a local CBS station<\/a> in Connecticut which reports that a SWAT unit in Norridgewock, Maine descended upon a man’s home there because a tree trimming crew had seen him wielding a scary gun;<\/p>\n

Turns out the \u201cgun\u201d the tree crew had seen on Michael Smith of Norridgewock was just a life-sized tattoo of a handgun on his stomach.<\/p>\n

Smith, who works nights, was asleep when the tree crew contracted by a utility to trim branches near power lines, woke him up at about 10 a.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n

He went outside shirtless and yelled at the workers to leave. When he\u2019s not wearing a shirt, the tattoo looks like a gun tucked into his waistband.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OK, maybe it wasn’t a SWAT unit, but they were armed with SWAT-type black scary rifles. I don’t suppose they could have just knocked on his door with a warrant instead of making a big show of force. But, it’s New England, so….<\/p>\n

Of course, here’s the picture that the media uses for their story;<\/p>\n
