Heavily armed man' found dead at Colorado amusement park with multiple guns and explosives

Law enforcement in Colorado is investigating after they said a "heavily armed" man was found dead inside an amusement park over the weekend "wearing body armor" with "multiple improvised explosive devices" on him.

The Garfield County Sheriff's Office reported that Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park employees notified officials the body of the 22-year-old man was found Saturday morning, prior to the park opening.

But at one time, one could buy dynamite over the counter, along with blasting caps and fuse cord.

I had to get licensed back in the 90s, and I never actually laid my hands on a finished explosive.
The EOD and Corps Of Engineers folks did that. I just did calculations.
But, I had to be licensed

He just wasn't used to all that excersize. First time out of the basement with all the gear on and those two dominos pizzas and 2 liters of coke didn't help him.

and got taken out by Mother Nature? Whatever happened, I’m glad the guy didn’t get to act out his dark fantasies.

I assume he’s a local? If so, it looks like Lauren Boebert might have lost another supporter.
