Open competition

If you can do the job, do it. If you can't do the job, just teach it. If you really suck at it, just become a union executive or politician.

Few enough and very expensive from what I've heard.

Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

I knew of 2 here previously.
Would like one myself but as you posted, they were very expensive & rare here when I looked into it.
Googled it & got no hits for that. Will try Facebook.
