I have no doubt they will find a way to over regulate the black powder there. I know it's highly unlikely you would ever have a problem with it, but if I am not mistaken, it is still illegal there to transport it over a bridge for any reason. I had a friend there that did cannon shoots in far northern Ca., and they ran into problems transporting enough black for their shoots. The law allowed loaded ammo to be transported, so they all purchased large brass cases cases and made bullets to slip on to them. They would place baggies of black powder into the case and put a wooden bullet in place...and it was legal transportation.
It is a sad situation that people have to do things like this.
I had a black powder license in my shop in Ca. at one time. I was allowed to purchase it in 25 lb. cases, but could not have over 5 lbs. in an approved powder vault on my premises at a time. The powder had to be shipped from somewhere other than the south bay as bridges had to be crossed.
I gave up selling it there.....the situation was nuts !
