Didn't know that was legal up your way.:wideyed:

Canadians don't hate bullets. It is the guns that some segments of the population dislike.

Inert rounds, would be stupid to use live rounds :roflmao:
You might wanna see a doctor about that, you shouldn't be shootin blanks at your age. :roflmao:

Technically, those are not blanks (blanks contain enough gunpowder to make a bang), those are dummy rounds. Now the joke practically writes itself...


I suggest NOT crossing the border with that. Although completely legal, it will cause no end of difficulties. If you do try, be sure to post the mug shots...

FWIW, I have a friend from Army days who is a munitions (bomb) disposal expert. Everything he owns has explosives residue on it. He budgets a lot of extra time to get through airports.
 
I know that Leon often played a TBird, NR-I think(?).

He did indeed, but also Reverse T-Birds. Entwistle also gave him a Fender Bird. They became somewhat close for a while. With Rossington Collins Band (after the plane crash), he had a T-bird modified due to wrist problems. Well it was actually a piece of metal that faked an upper horn so it would be more vertical. Leon is likely one of the reasons I picked up bass and certainly got my T-Bird feathers flopping. Loved his playing. He was a good dude as well.

I didn’t have a single problem bringing them over... as you could probably tell from the pic of them with my bass :roflmao:
