LOL..
hmm.. Paul the Brit may have more detailed insight into that..
You're not alone mate.. here in my home state of Kalifornia.. there are Laws against buying 4-8 point flat pieces of cheap metal (ninja stars) and cute little Filipino flipping knives, and anything with the words Black & Talon on the package..
yet anybody 18 yrs of age can walk into a sporting goods store and buy a 12-gauge pump shotgun!!
Laws that make you go.. Hmm...
..oh yeah Welcome to the Yard!
