A couple of years ago I bought a TC New Englander 12 guage shotgun that had been converted to flint and integral choke tubes added. The gun is beautful and I had intended to use it on spring turkey and maybe other game like geese. Well I never got around to it, so to speak so it did not see any action.
I decided to take the plunge and buy some actual black powder. All of my muzzleloading to date has been with substitions like Pyrodex and now Triple 7. I needed a can of 2 f for the main charge and a can of 4 f for the priming pan.
What happened at this little gun shop in Rhode Island surprised me. I was asked for my driver's license. I inquired and the owner said that this is a federal regulation. I never had to show any form of ID for smokeless propellent as well as the substitutes like T7. When I was much younger I do not recall anything like this.
When did this start?
