Matty Bottles Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I think the solution is fairly obvious...but I won't discuss it over a public forum. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.

roytheodd Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Let me know when you have some without the holes drilled in the bottom... Yeah, if they didn't have holes drilled and were otherwise filled so as not to be made functional I'd be all over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graydog Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 If it has a metal body, without those holes, it's a felony to possess these grenade replicas in the People's Republic of California. So, depending on where you are, those holes can be important. Late addition to my own post. I have never seen people given problems for what they carry at an event. However, I am aware of numerous problems people have had going to or from events. Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyfanatic Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 In reference to crate pricing... You may order sets of 6 at a time for $100 plus shipping... That means you get two free... Remember these are going for a good cause too. And if you want 12... You can get 4 free... Bwahahaha! And yes, the law requires that they have those holes in many states.

Kenneth Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I live in California mine have no holes in the bottom and I have no problems. Then again, I don't carry them into the bank or through a parade. FYI. It's a felony in California to SELL a "SURPLUS" grenade without rendering it non operable.

Graydog Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Please excuse the length of this post. Here's the law for California: ARTICLE 2. UNLAWFUL CARRYING AND POSSESSION OF WEAPONS 12020. (a) Any person in this state who does any of the following is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in the state prison: (1) Manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, lends, or possesses any ..., any metal military practice handgrenade or metal replica handgrenade... (This is a very long section, excuse my edits) Here's the link to the above: Dangerous Weapons Laws Possess and Carry However, first offense can be treated as an infraction as follows: However, a first offense involving any metal military practice handgrenade or metal replica handgrenade shall be punishable only as an infraction unless the offender is an active participant in a criminal street gang as defined in the Street Terrorism and Enforcement and Prevention Act (Chapter 11 (commencing with Section 186.20) of Title 7 of Part 1). Time for the Holly hand grenade: ( Subdivision (a) does not apply to any of the following: (15) Any plastic toy handgrenade, or any metal military practice handgrenade or metal replica handgrenade that is a relic, curio, memorabilia, or display item, that is filled with a permanent inert substance or that is otherwise permanently altered in a manner that prevents ready modification for use as a grenade . I would add in this already overly long post. The "grenade" addition to PC 12020 is only a few years old and was not publized worth a hoot before it was added to the books. Basically one of our wonderful state assembly people "found out" that inert grenades were legal to sell and "took action". Not telling people of the law change and then enforcing the law seems to be a norm anymore. So, the grenades being sold by historyfanatic are an excellent way to go for us California types. Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think!

callenish gunner Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 without said hole in the bottom could be construed as a violation of the federal statutes regarding explosive devices. ATF REGULATIONS For the sake of my personal liberty, and the fact I would like to enjoy my declining years with no bars around me, I think the inert ones would be fine. Since this type of explosive ordinance was not the most reliable to predict when and how it would explode and the fragmentation pattern was erratic at the best of times, it is best left in the history books and inert models for demonstration purposes only. ...i witnessed what the effects of grenades can do when unintentionally involved in a house fire many years ago it was not a pretty sight, for the occupants or the firefighters called to the scene. but of course that is just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cut-throat Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I happen to agree with your opinion, Gunner. My father has been a firefighter with the Orange County Fire Authority (way back before it was the "Authority", when it was just the Department), for over 30 years. And he is still on active duty. I would hate to even think about a situation where my father would have to enter a burning structure where live ammunition and explosives are kept by an irresponsible person.

Not to split hairs, but this part seems to allow this replica without the hole drilled in the bottom, as long as it's filled with a permanent inert substance (I can think of many ways of doing this easily, such as putty, plaster, lead, etc.). However, then from the outside, at least, it would look just like an original.
