WASHINGTON — Police arrested a man carrying a shotgun outside the Capitol Friday, authorities said.
Michael S. Gorbey, 38, was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, U.S. Capitol Police said.
The man also was wearing a tactical vest and had a bow in his car, Terrance W. Gainer, the Senate sergeant-at-arms, told The Washington Post.
Gorbey said he was going to the Supreme Court, Gainer said.
An officer first spotted the man near Union Station, about two blocks from the Capitol. The man's vehicle had wires coming out of the glove box and propane tanks inside, Gainer said.
Police used a robotic camera to see inside the vehicle, Schneider said, then destroyed the suspicious items inside with a powerful water hose.

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

My first reaction when I saw this story was, "My God! They've arrested Rambo!"
Other reports had the guy wearing a flak jacket, carrying a compound bow, and a samurai sword in addition to the shotgun.
