Jamaica Rose Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 My husband and a few other erstwhile pirates are entertaining at the Buccaneer Days in Corpus Christi, TX. They are running out of blackpowder, and have tried to buy blackpowder locally, and cannot find it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a place to buy blackpowder that is somewhat close to Corpus Christi? Apparently Texas recently passed some law that blackpowder has to be kept in a certain kind of container, and a lot of the stores that previously carried it, decided not to get the container and just stopped carrying blackpowder.

Jamaica Rose Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Today my husband Michael connected with one of the Texas Riviera Pistolers, who gave him a couple pounds of powder. That will be enough for his needs. It's nice to know that a bunch of cowboys would be so helpful to some strange pirates. Greydog - thank you for your very helpful suggestion. --Jamaica Rose --Jamaica Rose Editor of No Quarter Given - since 1993 http://www.noquartergiven.net/ "Bringing a little pirate history into everyone's life" Find No Quarter Given ... on Facebook: facebook.com/noquartergiven ... and on Twitter: @NoQuarterGiven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganTyre Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Where are they doing their thing? I live here in Corpus and wasn't aware there was any buccaneer activities going on for buc days. Nearest place to actually buy powder is in San Antonio I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
