I have carried a bang stick when diving in the Gulf of Mexico. The dive shop had no problems with it except to make sure I knew how to use it. One of the sticks was a 410 and the other a .44 magnum. Both were dischaged by pressing it against the target and releasing the striker. The pressure was like a 1911's backstrap safety, holding the firing mechanism from moving unless engaged. (un)fortunately I never had the opporrtunity to use either.
It would have been nice to have had one in Saudi when we went diving in the Red Sea where Tigersharks are plentiful and not the least bit shy. But along with nearly every other right, anything that goes bang is forbidden in that "enlightened" country unless you are a Royal.
