ah such an egalitarian and free society... imagine being able to take  
your weapon to work, sigh... all I have left is my decrepit and  
wearisome mind! I used to work in a gun-shop when I was a [wee] lad  
(eat crushed glass for breakfast etc. - thank you Monty) and we had a  
smithy that used to do special things with weapons for special people  
and even for not-so special people that had money and certain types  
of backing.

Just out of curiosity what was the tightest grouping? i.e. could they  
shoot?
