I'm looking at picking up a couple cases..at $65 it's a steal. I'm just wondering if there is anyone in the bay area (I'm in Santa Cruz but work in San Jose) that's interested in jumping in on the shipping.

How much is the shipping?

They only ship 2 cases max per shipping box is my understanding. So ordering even numbers will be the best for minimizing shipping. If not, pairing up with others will save on shipping. Cost for shipping is in the $10 per shipping box range (1 or 2 cases per box) from the last buy done.

I am really uncomfortable with Tannerite legal status in Calif, esp these days.

Talk to an attorney first.

I just talked to the guys over at Tannerite.com and they gave me a price quote of $9.00 for shipping if you're ordering one case and $16.00 for two cases. They can squeeze two cases in one box. They're shipping from Oregon.

Hmmm...it is pretty widely used. I didn't think it was an issue? Here's the link to their site. The link at the bottom states "Still legal in all states". I hope that's still right.

Thanks Bill.

Cops in Cali. are giving people hard times about OLL's. I can't imagine what they would do if they saw/heard you blowing this stuff up.

This has been discussed heavily here before. While yes it appears to be legal... Tannerite's end result still goes BOOM. Do I want some?? Sure do. Have I bought some?? No... . Its a nice gray area

Tannerite is a blast to shoot (pun intended).

I've only shot it in NV though, I'm way to worried to try it here in CA.

Isn't this the SAME thing we are doing with the OLLs?? following the letter of the law?

This is kinda like saying Diet coke and mentos makes a bomb....but I don't see cops busting kids in the street... Yes, this stuff goes boom, but so does a baloon filled with accetylene and a taste of oxygen, and that stuff isn't outlawed.

I'm just pissed that we can't have anything cool without being scared that the LEOs who don't know the law may bust us.

Tannerite is an explosive.

It's not designed for ammo reloading (where limited amounts possessed are exempt).

Ignore/discount Tannerite's out-of-state legal assurances. Unless he's paid for a CA lawyer to look into this stuff, walk away.

Fergawdsakes, they're poppin' folks with M1As with flash hiders - and you want big things that make a huge smoky BOOM???

Isn't this the SAME thing we are doing with the OLLs?? following the letter of the law?

I see nowhere a specific exemption for a nonreloading explosive for noncommercial use and that doesn't have fireworks exemptions.

OLLs, by contrast, are based on a clear CA Supreme Ct decision, and there's some statutory & regulatory law we can comprehend about semiauto rifles. We also went into deep research on this and approached things in a paranoid way. (My FAQ was hyper-over-conservative, for example).

Tannerite _could_ be legal. You should not regard it as such until otherwise demonstrated by someone other than an out-of-state vendor.

I think bwiese has a point on this. The CA Penal code is pretty broad in describing explosives and destructive devices. Even dry ice in a sealed container can be a destructive device. Possession of materials with intent to make an explosive is a felony. Given the current homeland insecurity paranoia we have now, I wouldn't want to push it.

CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE
SECTION 12301(b) The term "explosive," as used in this chapter, shall mean any explosive defined in Section 12000 of the Health and Safety Code.

CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
SECTION 12000. For the purposes of this part, "explosives" means any
substance, or combination of substances, the primary or common
purpose of which is detonation or rapid combustion, and which is
capable of a relatively instantaneous or rapid release of gas and
heat, or any substance, the primary purpose of which, when combined
with others, is to form a substance capable of a relatively
instantaneous or rapid release of gas and heat.

CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE
12312. Every person who possesses any substance, material, or any
combination of substances or materials, with the intent to make any
destructive device or any explosive without first obtaining a valid
permit to make such destructive device or explosive, is guilty of a
felony, and is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for
two, three, or four years.
