This thing is fun. My son in SC sent it to me as a father's day gift.

I loaded it up with salt and blew a hornet out of the air.
Second shot at closer range did him in.

Cracks me up that they cannot ship it to California, Connecticut or New
York.

Wait til the word gets out, the hornets form a group of 12 or so, and
they counterattack! :)

I don't know. The questions and answers section on Amazon indicated
they can't ship to the three states I mentioned but the following
link says they can ship to all 50 states.

I found a reference to it being banned in California, not because
it's a "gun" but because it uses salt. For some reason that
violates some chemical law out there. :-)

Apparently it's ok to ship to Massachusetts because when I go to the
Amazon page with it's description I don't see any notice about it
not being available to ship to my location.

My son ordered in South Carolina but had it dropped shipped directly
to my address, so I guess it's not prohibited.

Finally found a "gun" that is legal in Massachusetts but banned
in other states. That's a first! :-)

That is weird about the shipping. We can buy them here. Son in law gave
me one for Father’s Day last year. They are fun. One worry you have we
do not have as much of is the salt caking in the magazine. Mine did on
time. Seem to only cake there, and when I scraped,it out, all worked
well.

The page you referenced just said the two day shipping was not available to
California.

Maybe the old trick of mixing in some uncooked rice will prevent
caking of the salt if the humidity rises. It would still let the
salt load but the rice would be too big.

Wonder if it ships up here?
I'd probably need a full automatic for the mosquito hoards that are plaguing our local off-leash dog park.

The problem with mosquitoes is you kill one, and ten thousand come to the
funeral.

Crush up some silica gel in your salt or just shoot sand. I bet that
course silica they use in diamond brite would do a great job.
