Thanks Jarred, luckily I was in the right place at the right time.
I wasn’t sure about including the kids but I’m glad I did, they do make it a special shot.
I too bought a “slug gun” from K-Mart, you did need a firearms license but that only involved a trip to the local police station and paying the required fee.
They stocked a wide range of firearms( chained to the racks and were quite happy to let you hold them and check them out for yourself.)...
