I doubt you can find one aspect of our American existence that I don't think is over regulated. ;-)

Well good luck to him.

I'm sure the city attorney can pull up a laundry list of civil codes he violated by digging to make it justified. After all, he was digging without a permit, what if there were gas lines, electric lines, sewer lines, yada yada yada. Doubt he'll get very far with a lawsuit.

I see the where the city is coming from.
The problem I think most of us see with the article is that they're emphasizing the 'the crazy man had guns' part of the story and not 'the retiree thinks he's a mole' part of the story.
