A samurai sword and a BB gun were confiscated from a Radio Road home this week after specially trained police officers persuaded a man to come out of a home, authorities said Thursday.

The Ocean County Regional Special Weapons And Tactics team responded at 8:59 p.m. Monday after getting a report of a man armed with a shotgun who had barricaded himself in a home, police said.

After a brief standoff, the man came out of the residence and was taken to a hospital for evaluation, police said.

No one was injured and no shotgun was found, police said.

Now I know the story doesn’t have all the details, but is it a crime to “barricate” yourself in your own home? Otherwise known as “staying home and watching TV.”? Is it a crime to own BB guns and samurai swords? Did they confiscate his kitchen knife? What about his rat poison? You can commit suicide with rat poison, yet the Special Weapons and Tactics Teams isn’t interested in that.

Instead, they get one little report and bring on the cavalry. Not normal cops but a squad of BB gun and samurai sowrd confiscators. Oh well, I guess Bill will have to die another day.
