Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
From brief googling, it looks like laws in some places (Australia, for instance) classify rifles separately from shotguns, but I can't find any indication that the US does.
it would probably be a state by state thing, if it is done. Firearms regulation is not federal (except in the case of automatic weapons)
Happy birthday Cindy. YAY on the movement msbelle.
We have rain again today and I'm back from both the docs and the bagels. Mmm... bagels. Later we'll have to pick up our bike ride packets but I think I'll go get into bed. or at least flop on the couch and watch bad daytime TV.
I know that SWAT team body-armor includes Teflon shoulder pads that go down part of the upper arm because of shotguns. At close range, which is practically all of what a SWAT team does, shotgun pellets (what are they really called?) can go right through the meat of the upper arm and penetrate the chest wall from the side, which is Very Bad. So basically, the body-armor designers had to come up with a way to armor the armpit. Extendo-shoulder pads turned out to be the answer!
I like crazy generativity like that. Discover a problem, fix the problem, and funnylookingness is not necessarily a factor.
That sounds like a nice afternoon, Kat.
I probably don't have an area of expertise.
Aw, but I was just joking sarameg! Everything you're an expert in is totally non-futile!

And, you know, missiles and nuclear weapons.
There was this millionaire who bought a Soviet missle launcher vehicle, complete with missile. He had to prove that the missile had been "de-weaponized" (so it was impossible to use) before they let him bring it into the US.
This is why people should not be allowed to be millionaires, unless they are me.
Aw, but I was just joking sarameg!
But is is so TRUE.
Sounds great, msbelle. I hope you hear back from the recipients soon.
