I havent' even bothred to try asking for it up here (Canada) We are apparently pretty tight with this stuff.
Last winter, I tried to get lead shot, to help balance an RC airplane. I needed to have my FAC (Firearms Aquasition certificate) just to buy lead shot! I was uterly surprised!! Shells, firing caps, black powder I can understand.. But lead shot?! So I asked for fishign weights instead. About 6 ounces worth. Poor salesguy, climbing over 'summer stock' in the back jsut to get me every last bag of 'sinkers'..
Governement rules are kinda funny, and how they are applied...
