[CSACANNONEER]

Yes, they are legal. The little .22lr ones are just too expensive for me.

[chillincody]

awesome figured they were expensive but man i gotta at least try them once lol are they normally available in local ca stores or is online only way.because i dont care for paying online for stuff nowadays

.22LR won't ignite the more popular named brand targets like Tannerite and Star Target.

[chillincody]

could i make some 22 sensitive targets from readily availible item

There seems to be considerable debate over whether or not Tannerite and other binary exploding targets are legal in CA.
On BLM land over the line in NV or AZ, on the other hand....

I have severe concerns that even possession of Tannerite components could be considered "constructive possession" under 12300? 12301?PC.

This state even bans C02 bombs. If there's a fireworks exemption, I'd like to see it.

I do not wanna be near Tannerite in CA. It'd be an easy charge to bring.

Tanner(ite) says it's approved but I do not see any letters, and I don't even know if he's used a California-cognizant attorney. When I questioned one of their distributors close to them at Reno gunshow, they got all huffy and said I was a crazy Californian.

There are exploding targets specifically designed and marketed for rimfires. I first encountered some back in '86 so, they've been around, and being sold in California for a long time.

Anybody here old enough to remember when Targetmaster's in Milpitas use to allow you to use those in the indoor range? My how times have changed.

[tgriffin]

My opinion is no, not legal.

[pennys dad]

legal in CA, yes. Just need to find a spot you can use them, BLM is probably best.

[NorCalDustin]

My opinion is no, not legal.

+1...

If BWeise & others are not comfortable with them at this time.... Then I am not either...

Beyond that... I think it would be really easy to get slapped with some destructive device charges.

I go by the tried and true logic of
"if they sell it it must be legal'

Logic probably works in Kentucky.Broken here.

[chillincody]

lol i agree if they sale it im guessing its legal so i guess that means any one know of a spot in san diego area where i can purchase theses rimfire targets and i plan on useing it in the middle of the desert where ill have really noone around for miles safty first
