From http://www.tannerite.com/frequent-questions/

What if I am approached by an authority and questioned about my targets?

Be honest. Show them your Tannerite, explain what you are doing, and if they have further questions, offer them our phone number and website. We have been educating LEOs on Tannerite for many years.  If you are doing something stupid though (like strapping targets to trees or otherwise destroying property on public lands) we will not support you. Tannerite is  sold as a shot-indicator for long range shooting. If you get nailed for blowing up a computer and leaving trash on public property like so many idiots on You-tube, you are on your own. If you are told to stop shooting because others are complaining about the noise, then stop. Do not be as ass and taunt the bull.

How could something so fun, be legal everywhere?

Answer: Because Tannerite falls under the same laws as black powder and all other explosives that are exempt for sporting use.  Remember though, just because it’s a legal product if used as prescribed, does not mean that you can use it in any manner you wish.  Not unlike firearms, you can legally shoot them, but there are places where it is forbidden. It is up to the end-user to obtain local authority permission before using our product unless it’s on private property. Even then, if you live close to others it’s best to contact them and explain what you are doing…the same as you should do if you set out to cap off  your bowling ball cannon or shoot your 5o caliber rifle.

They also cover most of it in the instructional video which is fun to watch. I like it when things go "boom".

You can always shoot it in your back yard, but invite your neighbors over to partake in the fun to avoid the noise complaints.
