Does that sound squirrelly to anyone else? I'm a firearms enthusiast, and "firearm" is not the term I'd use when surprised in a high-stress situation. I can't imagine an average citizen pulling it off the top of their head rather than "gun."

As for putting his hand on the gun a "couple of times" while exiting, if I'm in the middle of a sudden evacuation for unknown reasons, I'll probably be double and triple checking all my safety gear, too.

You're assuming they have the right drive.

The whole "failed two days before" thing is really fishy. Every full-size DVR I've seen uses standard IDE (usually PATA) drives, available off-the-shelf in any city, and possibly even right there in the Costco. I could believe a broken camera taking a few days, but not a hard drive.
