OK, so you just have to buy the components separately and make sure there's no instructions in your posession on how to mix them.

What a stupid fucking law.


WATCH OUT!  SOMEBODY MIGHT BE HAVING FUN!  

Quoted:
Actually it's already illegal to use a binary explosive w/o a license.

What they have done is banned selling both components together as a 'kit'.

Quoted:


Actually, I believe, Md allowed possession of as much unmixed componants as you wanted and limited the possession of mixed product to 5 pounds.

You confused the 5# exception for smokeless and black powder.







If you do not have a license, as soon as you mix binary components you are in illegal possession of explosives.

OK, so you just have to buy the components separately and make sure there's no instructions in your posession on how to mix them.

What a stupid fucking law.
