What's next, rocks?
What is it with Utahns and old-school weaponry?

Last week, a guy with a Utah truck strolls towards the U.S. Supreme Court with a samurai sword slung over his back and a crossbow.

Now, a South Salt Lake man attacks police officers with a sword and is shot and killed by police (after their state-of-the-art tasers failed).

Has the economy slipped this far — that crazies can't afford bullets?

Word on the mean streets is that concealed weapons-champion Rep. Curt Oda has taken to carrying a nasty looking mace in his pants as a backup for the Sig .40 cal on his ankle.
