A Janesville man who ended an hours long standoff in his home by walking out onto the front lawn holding a handgun tells a court official he’s never even owned a firearm.

Joshua U. Kahn faces accusations he held a family member at gunpoint inside his Excalibur Drive home April 10, sparking a three-hour-long SWAT standoff in the quiet neighborhood on Janesville’s east side.

It was during an appearance in civil court Tuesday, part of a restraining order Kahn now faces in the felony standoff case, Khan told Rock County Court Commissioner Jodi Timmerman he has “no recollection” he had a handgun April 10.

During a brief hearing in which he appeared in an orange jail uniform, Kahn raised his shackled right hand and swore to Timmerman under oath that he’s never owned or possessed a gun.

During the hearing, Kahn appeared to be more worried about what might happen to his Excalibur Drive home while he’s in jail facing criminal charges.

“I own half the house. How is that supposed to work?” Kahn asked Timmerman.

Timmerman told Kahn he’d need to iron out details of his real estate holdings with an attorney.

Kahn is jailed on a $20,000 bond on felony charges he pointed a gun at a family member who later escaped unharmed during the standoff April 10. As part of the restraining order tied to the standoff, Kahn’s hearing Tuesday was to demand he surrender all guns.

Police say they used teargas to flush Kahn out of his home April 10. That was after SWAT officers evacuated a family member who officers say they saw Kahn holding at gunpoint with a black handgun.

When Kahn stumbled onto the lawn in a haze of teargas, still holding the gun, police immobilized him by shooting him with rubber bullets. Officers seized Kahn’s gun and arrested him on reckless endangerment.
