Talk about overnight felons... de-mil'ed hand grenades?

[ivsamhell]

The exemption is because they are exclusively "demonstration" devices. They may only be taken to/from class or competition. Having them any other time makes it a criminal offense.

whats the PC?

[Kauf]

So i guess the best thing for all of you who own one of these grenade's is to call your lawyer and arrange for the surrender of what ammounts to an approx. 2lbs. steel paperweight-I mean "Deadly explosive device"- or you face a felony

[Seesm]

I was told if you plugged the bottom hole with clear epoxy or something similar it was legal to own one that has the primer already pushed and it is obviously empty.

[BigFatGuy]

That's absurd... an empty grenade is demonstrably empty and safe. A filled grenade is not.

[MustangGreg66]

I used to have one when I was a kid. Probably got it at a gunshow. I remember throwing it around the yard playing cops and robbers I never had a clue it wasn't legal. I'm pretty sure it got thrown in the trash a long time ago. It got all banged up landing a few time on the cement in the yard so didn't look very good anymore haha.

And yet I have read it in more than one place.. It's on the "INTERWEBS" so it HAS to be TRUE... I did not state it more than I heard that.. We are in CA and lots of dumb laws anbd even dumber law makers... Anyway.. Carry on...

i want a crate of live pineapple grenades. that would be sooo cool

[MasterYong]

certified school and instructors are exempt re:nunchakas

I'm going to have to echo others: what's the PC?

People keep saying nunchuku are legal if you're in a martial arts program. I'd like to see the exemption.

The police get calls like that fairly often. Somebody dies, and their family finds all kinds of thinks that they weren't supposed to have. Guns, explosives, rockets, flamethowers. We, on a whole, are a fairly paranoid and psychotic race. If somebody tells us that we aren't supposed to have something, there will ALWAYS be a few people who just HAVE to go out and get/make/steal whatever it is, and squirrel it away against the chance that they might need it someday. I knew a guy that took a crate of frag grenades with him when he left the marines back in the 1970s. He kept them for several years until he found out that the Corps was starting to go through its records, and interview people who might have had access to the armory during that time period. He went out and dumped them in the ocean. I have no idea why he thought he might need them, but as I said, there are always those people.

Key in bold. Fill your felony grenade with something solid ie cement, epoxy, etc and bingo, its legal. It actually makes somewhat logical sence. An empty grenade is about 1/4 pound of gunpowder and 60 seconds away from becoming usable. Filled solid, not so much.

That's absurd... an empty grenade is demonstrably empty and safe. A filled grenade is not.

But an empty grenade can be refilled.

Empty grenade + can of powder = Constructive possession of a destructive device.

I don't see an exemption for the students to possess nunchucks away from the dojo at any time.

The exemption is because they are exclusively "demonstration" devices. They may only be taken to/from class or competition. Having them any other time makes it a criminal offense.

where is this exemption that allows them to be taken to/from class?
