There is a reason that Darwin is not just another English family name.

Yes, but it was a catch phrase from a book I read a long time ago.

The Sheep Look Up. I must re-read them again.

There is on thing that I find prety ironic.
As it is, spring activated, it's an illegal weapon.
BUT, if it was gun powder activated, and MUCH more dangerous, then it
becomes legal, at least in some parts of the USA...

That's pretty messed up, right there.
Mind you, I'm told that in some places you can walk down the street
brandishing a weapon, and that's fine, but if you "hide" it, that's
illegal...

I'm not sure "brandishing" is the word to use. If you carry it openly,
unloaded, etc, then yes, in many states you may carry a weapon that cannot
be concealed (in the sense that it's too large to hide).
