The Town of Westport also considers air rifles etc to be firearms, so that a law against discharging a firearm in the town also includes bb guns.

Too bad. It sounds like a good project, but I suppose the rule about "hazardous substances and devices" had to be followed.
Interestingly, the PC crowd loses out on a project that would have been to their benefit.
