BTW, don’t even think about trying to bring black powder on an airplane!

about 10 years ago I ACCIDENTALLY took 3 pounds of black powder into Canada!
we had a really big important horse show in Vancouver and a Rendezvous to go to just this side of the border. the horse show was 10 days long, but my daughter wasn't in any of the classes over the weekend when the show was. we went to the Rendezvous site, set up our camp, dropped off the rifles, shooting boxes and so on in the shooting shed, got back in the RV and headed for the border. I got dinged for a bag of apples that were intended for the horses (the horses were with the rest of he team... it was a Draft Horse show, and there is almost always an adult male, adult female, and at least one teenager per 8 horse hitch... ), but nothing else. when we came BACK to the states and I was looking for stuff in the "basement" of the RV (the underneath stowage), I found a crate we had over looked behind some camping gear we had not unloaded. it had the black powder, about 1000 .22 rounds and a box of .54 balls. I got pretty light headed and sat down hard and just kind of shook for about 15 minutes
