[PUP] Less deadly but legal

[Kevin Kearney]

The firearms issue have been discussed in many areas--As a previous hunter/sportsman I still enjoy guns. When I had kids the guns went away, and now as a cruiser I am gonna get rid of them again a .410 single shot and a semi-auto 22 Nylon 66-I can't do the simple things like the Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico with them on board without possiable arrest-and these are US related territories. 
   
  I do carry bear spray and a machete,, the fire extinquisher sized bear spray will take out a small boat boarding party at 20ft with one application. I use the big bladed thing to cut fish, dock lines and such. Both are near my cabin entrance.
   
  I am considering a paintball gun-loaded with teargas balls-they are available in close (pistol size co2 powered) range and longer range submachine gun size with compressed air.
   
  The teargas/paintball things have a certain toy quality-and since they don't use gunpowder they are not FIREARMS-they are defensive-but not deadly-you might be arrested for assault-but not for causing death, they should pass muster on international inspections-and not make you lie -since they are not firearms--like a slingshot or potato cannon or bb/airgun, or crossbow/speargun are not firearms either.
   
  I haven't made this purchase yet-I am getting rid of the firearms--I have checked out that teargas balls are available (not easy or cheap) 10 for $80-but in close quarters (sub100ft) and a hopper fed machine gun like system they should be a deterant--What do you think?
