- Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

You might be interested to know that in many states, black powder guns aren't legally considered firearms. None of the legal hassle that comes from buying a gun, and they tend to be cheaper too. People on parole sometimes get them for self defense. I know it might seem silly of me to suggest a Big Iron, but six shots is better than none.
Interesting loophole though! I have always wanted to be a gunslinger though, maybe thats whats in the cards for me
Some modern ones developed for europe are surprisingly practical. They are only able to exist in their practical form due to loopholes though.
