Re: [RC] Guns, an alternative - SteelSideDown

There are so many places where guns are not allowed, every state has there own laws.  Of course, every military base has their own also.

In VA it is illegal to haul livestock without "a means to destroy" them should it become necessary.  A police officer/deputy cannot discharge their duty weapon to destroy your personal property.  Regardless of what type of incident/accident has occurred.

While riding, I carry pepper/OC spray.  You can purchase it from the local Walmart, the stronger version from a police supply store.  It works on people, dogs, bears, basically any offensive creature with eyes.  It comes in a relatively small aerosol can with a cap, thus making it easy to pack on your saddle -- without a concealed permit.  It should be replaced yearly as the medium that propels it out of the can will "dry up" over time.
