Are you talking about a stun-gun?

This is not a facetious question.  We have really been asked this by a P.I.

Can you purchase firearms on a federal grant?  We have a P.I. who would
like to purchase a "gun" (rifle?) on a grant and we haven't found anything
that says this can or can't be done, at least in the NSF regs.

My questioner assures me that this is a serious question and that the P.I.
wants to use the gun for protection from "wild" animals on a field trip.

Has anyone else encountered a "similar" situation?

Thank you.
