Rubberband gun in southern California?
Graham Yost
Last minute gift idea: does anyone know where I can buy a rubberband gun
(wood)? I'm in Southern California. The ones I see on the net are
mail-order only, and I don't have the tools available today to build
one. Anyone spotted any at a toy store?
Thanks,

day waiting period, obtain a state conceal and carry permit and make sure
it's kept in a lockable gunsafe with trigger lock to help prevent inevitable
future litigation when the hostile youth steals it and goes on a rampage.

Rubber Guns. Bad idea. I made a number of them for children (boys) in the
neighborhood several years ago and as a result, I had several meetings with the
mothers. Will not make that mistake again.

Buy???
Long ago we managed to find some scrap and hack out a "pistol" shape
with a handsaw. Not pretty but functional. We scrounged some blown
inner tubes from the local filling stations (gas station for the
youngsters) and cut our own "rubber bands".
A clothespin (one of those wooden gadgets our mothers used to fasten
the laundry to the clothes line. ( I bet there are more than a few
here who have never seen a clothes line or a clothes pin)
One rubber band held the clothes pin to the butt of the "gun" and the
rest will be left to the ingenuity of the builder.
Memories of a misspent youth.

Don't know about Calif, but Baltimore MD is apparently planning to ban
BB guns, can rubber band guns be far behind? After that, it will be
pictures of guns.

Having said that, last year I came up with a project for my nefews when I
was looking after them - a "shotgun" that uses air power to launch corks.
Very easy to make, and the kids were impressed with results. You use a
long, solid dowel stuck in the stock of the gun. Over the dowel you have a
length of PVC pipe - about 1/3rd longer than the dowel. 1 inch diameter
will do. There are two tricks - the cork must fit the end snugly, and at
the end of the dowel, you have a piece of thick leather that makes for an
almost air tight seal. When you pull PVC "barrell" down the dowel, the cork
will shoot across the room.
If you are worried about damage, you can put the corks on a string attached
to the stock of the gun.
If you paint it up, the results can be impressive.

if I read your post correctly, you can't avail yourself of a stick, a
clothes pin, some tape and a supply rubber band? I feel bad for you.

harmful than some of the foam rubber projectiles.
I just made some rubber band guns for nieces and nephews. They are
extremely easy to make, should only require about an hour.

In California??
These highly illegal weapons have been banned under California's assault
weapon statues. ;)

I can send you pictures of a 36+ shot "gatling gun" that I have. Takes a
while to load up, but it's very good at shooting a lot of rubber bands in a
hurry when you crank the handle.

called Merlo's Cutlery. See if you can find one of those; I bought a dandy
hand-crank Gatling gun rubber band shooter there years ago. They take
*forever* to load tho...

along with spit wads and snow balls as assault weapons and there for can not
possessed in the state. The AG along with his close friends State Senator
Jack Scott (D - Pasadena) believe that anything citizens could use for
defensive could also be used for offense and therefor anyone who might want
to defend themselves with anything is a criminal.
California isn't on the left cost for nothing. It has a reputation to uphold
as the state where if the idea is insane, they like it; and they are the
home to the most overturned court in the country - the 9th Circuit Court.

The ironic part is that I'm not sure if you're serious or not. They're wacked.

The sad thing is what this is doing to our next generation. We are
sending the message that working to defend our country is less than
honorable and that it is wrong to want to emulate those people. We need
some school administrators with spines instead of linguini for backbones
and more than a bit of common sense.

glass picture window. That would have been in the early 50's. Surprised it took
Baltimore so long to catch up. My parents were pretty active about the ban.
Would have thought the backlash would have made it at least as far as Baltimore.

gatling gun. They musta figured out asking something like $350.00 for a
complete gun was a bit much.

I've seen true 'gatling gun' designs, that use a rotating cylinder for the
barrel of the gun. just have a set of radial dowel pins at each end of the
cylinder. At the back end, there's a picec of string that wraps around the
barrel, underneath a rubber band on each pair of pins. then you can run the
string around the barrel _again_ with a second row of rubber bands, and
repeat until you run out of string, or rubber bands.
pull on the string, it pops the back of the band of the last pin, and rotates
the cylinder to line up the next 'position'.
pull the string -fast-, and it sprays with about the precision of a real
machine gun. <grin>
A semi-automatic pistol design used a four-point 'star wheel' as the rear
'pin' for the bands. with a simple 'detent' mechanism for the trigger.

gun - buy one and draw up plans from it. They're always looking for project
ideas, and since they're all full of the same old thing all the time, this
would be an original idea.
Ok - which magazine will publish plans??

Make sure you tell them you stole the "original
idea" from some other woodworker. And let him
know, too. He'll want to sue you for making
money from -his- creativity, ya lout.

Carrying a rubberband gun while black in Southern California is likely
to be fatal.

white men.
Scott Lurndal
that blacks are several times more likely to be killed by police on
a per-capita basis than whites.
Leon
skews the appearance that blacks are more likely to be killed, which
they are not.
Every case is a new case so the likelihood starts over. Blacks may be
more likely to be confronted by police, not killed.
dpb
conditional probability of being seriously injured or killed given being
stopped is higher for those of color.

on this and was surprised that of those killed, when there is an
altercation with a police officer, 50% were white and 26% were black,
IIRC. I have seen this reference stated multiple times and never by a
white person. The media blows this all out of proportion.
Leon
officer, OBEY the officer to keep things civil. HE has the authority
which you do not. If he was in the wrong let your attorney take care of
the problem and live another day.
Still, no one should loose their life when in custody of a police
officer unless you some how pose an immediate threat to that offices life.
There are bad apples in EVERY group.
