Well how is that fortunate. I'm effectively banned from defending myself.

New Jersey? Yeah... well... moonshiners cant make moonshine either and speeders cant speed... I bet you CAN buy and own a blackpowder gun, most gun laws don't apply to blackpowder muzzle loaders... and I know just the one. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1612371
 
I am pretty sure all you would have to do is point it at someone to get them to pee their pants. It is 20 gauge, they used to sell them in .50 cal and .58 cal. Probably can still get those somewhere.
 

You can also get this to go with it....

Now I am having a hard time finding P-caps and .50cal minnies, or whatever they call them now but I have only looked locally. Maybe online. it takes #11 caps.

Can kids still buy cap guns with the little rolls of caps that made a bang? I bet they can't. Used to love those things!

Hi Sharke,
 You can defend your self... just move on down to Florida.
 
 We've had some recent gun stories that seem so *Florida* to me.
 
 Recently a guy had his unloaded .380 gun sitting on the floor of his pick em up truck when his dog bumped into it and it shot the guys foot... with a 9mm bullet. Chances are the dog didn't slide one into the chamber or pull back on a double action hammer... if you know what I mean.
 
 The other recent and typical *Florida* story was the lady in St Petersburg who had her oven shoot 4 rounds at her when she was preheating it for some baking. Her room mate, in the interest of safety had pulled his clip from his hand gun and placed the gun in a kitchen draw and then placed the clip in the oven where no one would look for it. You know... safety first!
 
 There's also the guy who got away with murder a couple years ago when he was in the coat closet of a church's meeting hall with his buddy looking at his buddies bad ass 9mm when it accidentally went off, shot through a wall and killed a girl in the next room. The girl just happened to be the shooter's fiance and her dad owns the church. That's how it rolls in Florida. Some how no one got charged... you know, just because.
 
 Last New Years Eve two different people, in two different Florida towns got struck by bullets flying through the air at midnight. Hey it's Florida... and a couple rounds of .762 are way cheaper than driving to South Carolina for bottle rockets. There's no way to figure out who did it because it seems like every other guy you talk to owns an AK47. You know... good times!!!
 
 I could go on... and on... and on...
 
 I've never been afraid of guns and it seems to me that often times the bad guys are more careful with them than the goof balls.
 
 I don't expect everyone to know what that means. :-)
 
 
 best regards,
mike
 
 
 
 
 

Guns don't bother me much, I can dodge those, but the bullets move a bit too fast...

Yeah but idiots will be idiots. You could find way more examples of people harming themselves and others by being idiots behind the wheel, for example.
