As a coach for a High School swim team back in the 80s, before electronic starting rquipment, I had to carry a Starting Pistol with me.
I was also required to carry the registration. My AD said the law required it.

Registration for a starter pistol??? What state was that?
They are constructed so that they can only fire blanks.
Seems like the AD doesn't know what he/she was talking about.

BTW, what's an "AD"?
