I didn't say it was illegal, I said there may be a loophole in the law.

I'm sure they would give me perfectly accurate info!
i doubt it would change anything myself, LDWF is more concerned with checking the expiration date on someone's fire extinguisher 50 yards away from the lakeshore drive hdqtrs. CCA is more worried about the money that STAR rakes in. (biggest kill tournament on gulf coast, lol)
