Man Threatens to Shoot His iPhone at Apple Store
Last Thursday an Ohio man walked into the Kenwood Towne Center Apple Store and threatened to shoot his iPhone. Donald Goodrich, 38-years-old, in a moment of bad judgment, showed an Apple Store employee his 9-mm handgun saying, "I’m so mad, I could pop a 9mm at it." The man was referencing his iPhone, but the Apple Store manager took all precautions and alerted police.
Goodrich did have a concealed weapons permit, but he failed to tell the police that he was indeed armed, which he was immediately arrested for.
The moral of this story: If you're having iPhone problems and need to visit the Genius Bar, don't threaten your poor iPhone. It's just not worth it.

He probably was upset because he lost at Mafia Wars on Facebook after his 3G coverage dropped out because of AT&T's spotty coverage.

That seriously cheered me up. If a man had threatened an iPhone in front of me, forget my safety. SAVE THE IPHONE!
