What happens when grandpa confuses it for his COPD inhaler? No more trouble breathing.

And last time I looked, the antiques like that are classed as curios, but IIRC any new ones might qualify as NFA items.

Maybe so, but getting your medical insurance to cover the cost of the weapon certainly is new.

Excellent point. It should be an NFA item.

"...getting your medical insurance to cover the cost of the weapon..."
