It is a personal cost, not allowable on a grant.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Allowable Cost?

Hello,
 I was wondering if I could get your help on a question of allowable costs.
We have a PI that is doing research in Alaska.  He wants to purchase ammunition,
a holster and a travel box on grant funds for his personal firearm.
The justification for the expense is protection against bears.

Would you all consider that an allowable grant expense?
Thanks.
Lori Johnson
