19. No propellant per se, just pressure from the plunger

Any propellant can leak over time and this was designed for fail safe, no matter how long it sits in your glove box or drawer.

It has a little plastic piece as a "safety" to protect the trigger that moves out of the way when you put your finger in the trigger guard.

Just squeeze the trigger and it shoots. Squeeze it again for the second shot, if you need it.

But the underlying principle is, you should be far, far away before they recover from that first shot.

In Illinois (outside of Chicago) and Indiana they sell them in most gun stores as well as the big chain stores like Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop. No FOID card or permits required and no Background check.
