    BP supplies at Wal Mart

    Just spotted the comment about the 9 mm 'shotgun', I have one! It's a 9 mm rim fire called a 'Garden Gun', they are popular in Europe for small varmints in the garden. Neat single shot, Winchester came out with one called the model 26 (yeah it stumps Google), I've only seen one and it looks...
