Most Americans will shoot you, but a pistol is much more common.
The rule over that, is that you need to give the culpert your crack cocaine or your life.
Also, it will probably be a GLOCK. Apparently we support the Austrian economy.
Only mad men use assault rifles on the general public. I think it is a law.
As for the batteries.
If you have an old cell phone sitting around the house unused, and ignored.
Better pull out the batteries and throw them out, or store them in a fireproof bag, or mug.
I found two
old cell phones with bulged batteries last year while looking for a back up phone.
I had walked into the pond to straighten a buoy gate, and forgot I had my current phone in
my back pocket. The old phones hadn't been picked up in over three years, and the batteries
had probably been over discharged over time.
