Guess he didn't see the video of the guy that lost a leg when he shot a riding lawnmower with 3lbs of tannerite in it. Blew a big piece of the deck at him and cut his leg clean off."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Guy using 100 pounds of tannerite to blow up dump truck faces charges
Jan 17 2008 RED WING, Minn.
A 30-year-old man from Welch Township has been charged with 3 felonies after a huge explosion on his property prompted authorities to put the Prairie Island nuclear plant a mile away on alert.
Prosecutors claim Childs bought 100 pounds of the explosive Tannerite off the Internet. The explosive was loaded into the rear end of a dump truck on Sunday and detonated by a .50-caliber rifle round.
Childs told investigators the explosion sent debris up to a quarter-mile away.
Goodhue County prosecutors on Wednesday charged Brian Wesley Childs with gross disregard for human life and several lesser charges. All told, he was charged with three felonies and five lesser counts.
Childs was released from jail without bail on Wednesday.
