If all else fails, resort to shooting the gun.

An all-night SWAT standoff at a Santee mobile home subdivision led to the arrest of a 52-year-old man, who reportedly became enraged after he became upset with Wal-Mart's return policy.
Deputies said the long night began when a man went to a Lakeside Wal-Mart to exchange ammunition at about 8 p.m Saturday. When employees refused his request, he became irate and threatened the employees, promising to return to kill them all, deputies said.
The man left to try his luck at the Santee Wal-Mart. But those employees also reportedly refused his request to exchange ammunition, deputies said.
This time the man didn't leave. He walked into the parking lot, loaded a gun and fired shots into the air before driving away, witnesses told deputies.
No one was injured, and witnesses were able to write down his license plate number. The sheriff's department tracked him down to the 10000 block of Prospect Avenue in Santee, where he lives at the Town & Country Mobile Home Lodge, deputies said.
SWAT and the San Diego Sheriff's Department surrounded the man's mobile home at about midnight, said deputies.
They tried tear gas among other techniques before finally taking the man into custody around 7:50 a.m., said Lt. Dave Myers with the San Diego Sheriff's Department.
Authorities would not release his name, and do not believe anyone was in the home with the man.
