Hi ya'll.
A preprinted paper of sorts goes a LOOOONG way in helping paranoid people!!
Good ole' Mom & Dad made me put an "information sheet" in everybodys
mailbox within a 1/2 mile radius before I lit my first one..  Was
interesting, that was.
I spent more time on the phone that week explaining to people that I wasnt
going to kill them or send them into orbit...
:-)

As to projectiles, over here, spud guns are illegal, but EM "guns" are
not.. hmmm, i wonder which is more dangerous...
