some wouldn't, save for 3 minor factors...
1. i was asking for a serious rules answer,
2. my campaign is set in the civilian world of 1937, and
3. OSI operatives tend to operate a tad "outside" the law as necessary.

i like the refrence though, that's one i'll have to remind my brit of when 
the fur really does start to fly (it also makes one wonder how claymore's 
got into the mix with this ban on shotguns, 203 canister rounds for that 
matter too)...
