If I get a gun, without a license, and I shoot it, even into the air, I'll be charged, and possibly hampered if I need to get out of town, when I need to.

And a dog...I don't even know how long I'll be in this town,
flying dogs around the place, and staying with friends, with a dog, uhmm, I don't think so.

So, vigilance is key, for now - there's only my bike and surfboard left to steal anyway, lol.
