Ohio Ord. B.A.R. vs Tannerite

Holly crap let's dig up a 3 year thread.....................

Everything I read says thermite is perfectly legal.

Tannerite website:

Tannerite™ is STILL 100% legal in all states, provided you do not exceed your state's black powder storage amount. Do not mix more than you intend to use at one time to ensure compliance. We are not responsible for "Acts of stupidity", so please use common sense.

I love shooting Tannerite

Sweet, so if that happens to be incorrect, the Tannerite website has to pay tens of thousands in legal fees and then possibly go to prison? Awesome.

Oh, wait. That's not how it works at all. That's taking legal advice from somebody with a financial interest in having you think that there's no legal issue with this.

I mean, I'm not your lawyer and this certainly isn't legal advice, but the issue is still sketchy enough that yours truly, who loves to see things go boom, still isn't going near that stuff in CA.

Sweet, more tannerite for us then

[xibunkrlilkidsx]

^ but i agree. more tannerite for me.

JustinLB,

Get a clue, dude: I specifically said there could be *California* issues, so why did you quote all that useless Fed crap above?

.......

We thus end up with the odd situation that having unmixed Tannerite components may be a worse offense than actually having mixed Tannerite!

You've been warned.

no we haven't. the 2 componets you need to make tannerite are attainable by legal measures. as long as you dont have above certain amounts of the product there is not much they can do. And tannerite is not like a CO2 device. it does not mix and immedietly start a chemical reaction. it is inert until mixed and even when mixed it still takes a lot of kinetic energy to cause any reaction.

Do you know what tannerite is made of? its Aluminum nitrate and Aluminum Powder. mixed 95%-5% by weight. when you transport both of them separate it is not an explosive. and only become explosive when yo u mix them.

If it wasnt legal than the black hawk heli copter with Apache gunships would of pulled me over after i bought some at a gunshow.

smokeless powder is listed as listed as a explosive but we are still able to get it mail order.

No they take no liability criminally, but they do take liability in a civil case. If it was such a risk to use it here, they wouldn't sell it here. The fact that it is a binary explosive that they sell to people without looking into someone's background IMO makes them extremely vulnerable. All it would take is for one idiot to blow his hand off or one arrested and Tannerite will be up in front of a judge trying to explain that they aren't responsible and shouldn't have to pay for the damages.

Using your logic, I shouldn't own an AR because I risk going to jail. Join us please in 2010. Btw, how many people who possess/use the stuff in CA have been arrested again? It isn't like it is a secret, we had "Drunkskunk" selling the stuff to Californians for several months.

I question the legality in CA of Tannerite. Don't have book/chapter/verse, but why would Tannerite be remotely legal when Penal Code even bans explosives made from dry ice and water??

I think that is worded wrong. You can't make explosives out of dry ice and water. You can make a very weak BOMB by combining the 2 components in a semi rigid container (plastic bottle), but not an explosive. I wonder if mixing baking soda and vinegar is illegal. I had an Orange Juice bomb explode in my refrigerator and cause quite a bit of damage.

Tannerite is basically a black powder substitute. (I think) You are allowed to make Black Powder here.
