Nick Trio:
	I feel rather guilty planning to purchase a firearm for self 
	defense, when some of you in *certain* states can't do the same.  
	So, to ease my conscience, I came up with this alternative.

	Have you ever seen the guns they use to mark cattle or shoot 
	tranquilizer darts into animals (the same Nel-Spot 007 pistol used 
	in the National Outdoor Survival Games)?  Well, why not use them on
	the animals in the street?

In New Jersey, those guns are classified as "pistols," and require
one to get a pistol permit from the authorities before use. I learned
this from the NJ State Police when I tried to organize a Survival
game in this state.
