Man Spends Evening With Colt 45s & Guns - Then Craps Himself When Questioned By Cops

An evening with malt liquor and plenty of gunfire ended with poop and a trip to the Indian River County jail for an Orlando man, according to a recently released arrest affidavit.

An Indian River County sheriff's deputy about 9:20 p.m. April 9 went to the Gifford Docks in Vero Beach after a report of shots fired.

He found Michael Johnston, 44, who said he'd had eight drinks, including two cans of Colt 45, which he said was "too many apparently!" Another man was with him.

Johnston, of Orlando, verified they'd been firing weapons, and said the guns were his and in his vehicle's trunk. A .40 caliber Glock pistol and a .45 caliber black powder handgun turned up in the trunk.

Colt 45 is a malt liquor beverage that became associated with the actor Billy Dee Williams, who played the suave Lando Calrissian in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." Colt 45 was advertised with the slogan, "It works every time."

Taking a page from Ted Nugent's handbook, I take it.

1. I guess this idiot was a law-abiding, responsible gun owner just prior to the incident.

Since the article says he's being charged with a misdemeanor, I guess he can get, or keep, a permit to tote a gun or two and stand in line next to innocent people in the the grocery store, Chuck E Cheeze, churches, public parks, and everywhere else our gungeoneers, and right wing gun cultists fear to tread without a lethal weapon.

5. Is Colt 45 in a can a good substitute for a can of beans for self defense purposes?

I don't think either equate well to either the Peacemaker or the 1911A, with are also both known as Colt 45s.

6. Actually it is a good substitute, unless you walk around on ready to pull your gun and shoot someone

because one has trained for years to do so.

You should try some better alternatives rather than resorting to guns.
