I'm breaking the law!
Magnet_Eye:
some U.S. Laws:
"Persons may be placed in jail for up to five years for shooting a hole in a penny. "
"It is illegal to give free alcohol to Indians who live on reservations. "
"To be a dominatrix is illegal."
"No person may appear as a contestant in more than one game show a year."
"A US citizen can take possession of any foreign, uninhabited island, as long as it contains bird droppings."

If I claim it as my own country, then I can retire on said island without having to pay taxes! w00t!
When they say "uninhabited", are there guidelines with that to define "uninhabited"?
ChadTower:
No, but there are guidelines to define foreign, very likely:
Not landlocked within the US or within US territorial waters.

Anyone who has grown up around bears will tell you that a shotgun will chase a bear off immediately unless you are deemed a threat to their cub. We used to use them to scare off bears all the time back home. Big bang + big sting = fleeing bear.
This does not apply to grizzlies, but if you're close enough to an angry grizzly to use a shotgun you're already dead.
