Michael Smith went outside shirtless after being awakened Tuesday morning, yelling at tree removal workers to get off his property. The workers thought they saw a gun in his waistband and called police. Smith, who had gone back to bed, was awakened again minutes later – this time by Maine State Police at his front door, backed up by a group of troopers with assault rifles in his driveway. They were asking him via a megaphone to come out of his house. Smith did have a gun. It was tattooed on his stomach. No charges will be filed against Smith.

I'm not up on Maine state law, but is it illegal in Maine to carry a handgun on your own property? :) Nothing in the article mentions anything about people feeling threatened.
