What about salt gun to kill flys? It's bright yellow and has orange tip. Waving that around in yard killing flys shouldn't raise an eyebrow I would think?Danger, Danger
If you or one of your neighbors pulls out something that resembles a gun (paintball, airsoft, bb gun), to defend personal property, that you are not allowed to defend with lethal force in this state, and said dirtbag reasonably believes that you/neighbor has an actual firearm, and then they open up on you/neighbor with real bullets, guess what, you are the initial aggressor. If you shoot back with real bullets, you will not be able to claim self defense. not legal advice but feel pretty comfortable with this information...check with your attorney.
I get it...it sucks big time. Sharing a cell with your new husband sucks more. (No pun intended.) If you live in Portland and don't think they will go after you (as opposed to antifa, blm, rioters etc.) think again. Same with the bear spray, it's for bears and they (prosecutors) will say that your level of force is not "reasonable" since there are 50 cans of spray intended for humans hanging on the shelf at Sportsman's right next to stuff intended for ursus arctos horribilis.
It pains me to type this, but I just don't want to see worse things (bad is already happening) to good people.
What if you had paintball gun loaded with pepperballs and the whole gun is painted fluorescent orange? I'm not trying to be a jerk here or just being argumentative, I'm just trying to flesh out what a person in Pdx could actually use. Sorry if it comes accross as argumentative don't mean it to be, thx!
