CA: New Shot Shell Design used in Attack

[ELB]

EUREKA, Calif. ...
The victim, who had suffered a non-life threatening injury to the hand, was treated at a nearby hospital, police said.

...

An investigation later determined that Glass used a flare gun to fire the shell, which had been stuffed with Rice Krispies.

...

The victim positively identified Glass but declined to press any charges.

Sale of new shot shell limited to cereal killers.

Did it go "snap, crackle, and pop?"

No, it went "bang, snap and crackle"

Just like the old ad said to the tune of the 1812 Overture, " It is the cereal that is shot from guns!"

"Let me see, I think I'll reload a shotgun shell. Hmm, out of shot, guess I'll eat breakfast instead. Lessee, what's in the cabinet. O Ho! Rice Krispies! But no milk. Dang! What am I going to do with a bunch of dry Rice Krispies. Hmmm.. Wait a minute! I know!"

I have used a cheerio or a few rice to get a better crimp on a shotdhell.

Due to new Gun Safety legislation the new approved roster of ammunition choices in California is now limited to 12 gauge Rice Krispie rounds. You must show your FOID indicating that you do NOT own an unapproved shotgun. Flare Guns only allowed. This will help reduce gun violence!

Does one have to be 21 or older now in order to purchase Rice Krispies?

not if you use them in a long gun

Do you need an FFL (Flying Food License) to handle the purchase?
