CONGRATULATIONS on your freedom of self defense,
so far as u have indicated that it exists.
It doesn't exist.
Unless they convince their masters that they "have a need" for a given gun, they are only allowed 3-round shotguns.
And even if they are lucky enough to be allowed other guns, they still have ridiculous rules for what they are allowed to have. For instance, their "handguns" (if they are allowed to have one) are really rifles that look vaguely like a distorted handgun.
