But Alfred Luedtke, 42, is allegedly a cut above.
This weekend, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department, officers arrived at Luedtke's residence after hearing reports that he had threatened his wife and his neighbor with a sword.
He apparently wasn't very interested in putting the weapon down at the cops' request, either. Lucky thing they had a taser.
Get the rest of the specifics below:
