Brilliant, are you Cali guys allowed to own gun cleaning supplies? That's probably something that is known in the STATE OF CALIFORNIA to cause cancer or something...

Cordless or corded drills have spark and Brake Kleen is pretty volatile. You'll be surprised how fast you can move. Followed by profanity. Just sayin'
