If mailing fake grenades is outlawed, then only outlaws will mail fake grenades.

Subby didnt RTFA, that being said, how often could this possibly come up? I know that some people have odd gift-giving policies but sending out inert grenades as xmas might be the reason that no one visits your desert trailer anymore.

I wanted to import dummy grenades from a surplus store in the states about 10 years ago and I remember that the customs guy started yelling at me over the phone for like 5 minutes.
Good times.

/Thanks Canada Customs, for holding my farking package from 9/6 to 10/21, you farking douchebags.

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

I bet the postal workers in America would love to get their hands on more grenades, and guns, and garrotes ....

'Bout the size of a battery.
Responds to pressure. Our platoon
was stuck in a trench outside New
Kasmir during the winter campaign...
More'n'a week, completely cut off and
the Alliance entrenched not ten yards
away. We even got to talking with
'em, yelling across insults and jokes
and such, 'cause no ammo to speak of,
no orders, what are you gonna do? We
mentioned we were out of rations and
ten minutes later a bunch 'a apples
rained into the trench.
Captain said wait, but they were so
hungry. Don't make much noise, just
little pops and there's three guys
kinda just end at the ribcage.

Many years ago, in the mid-90s, I purchased an inert grenade as a joke/just for the hell of it kind of thing. Actually I can't remember an exact reason why. Now since 9/11 I really wish I didn't have it. Anything I do with it will cause a bomb scare and get me sent to Gitmo. So it sits in a box.

Or else private couriers will pick up the slack in the fake arms dealing trade.

This headline is a logical fallacy.

- If you tell a man to stop beating his kids, does that mean you condone him beating his wife?
- If you tell your child to stop smoking pot, does that mean you condone him smoking crack?
- If you tell me to lighten up, does that mean you condone me switching over to a porn site and masturbating for 3 hours?

I'd like to know how many live grenades or other ordnance have exploded in a postal station while being mailed.

Lazy goldbricking unionized public servant farktards are ruining Canada.
