One question and a thought experiment:
Strictly speaking is there a legal way for a recreational pyro to shoot
what
he has made. I know my preferred means is to incor****ate what I have made
into a Professional show. It gives the promoter some added color and it
allows the devices to be inspected by a professional before they are
allowed
in the show. The devices are setup by an experienced shooter, and if
needed
there would be both medical and fire protection. One small problem it is
not
legal and the insurance won't like/.allow it. When *****sing legal issues
assume one you do not cross state lines or two that you do cross state
lines, since the laws regarding interstate commerce are stricter.
I have learned from, and shot with a very experienced pyro. That said,
when
I helped build I saw chems being mixed in the kitchen and on the kitchen
table, chems being dried over an open flame ( propane ceramic radiant
heater ), and enough fuels, oxidizers and metal salts to reduced the home
to
kindling, with this in a residential neighborhood
This lead to a safety related thought experiment, ro set up your most
common
pyro composition in a quantity that you consider reasonable, and under
standard working conditions, then e-match it.
1 you are setting in front of it and working with it when the match
functions, what happens?
2 you are near by but not in direct view, how would you know that
something
has happened and how long would that take?
3 you are away and will not know anything about what happened until after
it
is all over, what is the likely outcome?
Best, outcome your protocol is such that no one is hurt with limited to no
damage, no need to bring in external fire rescue.
Next, no one is hurt and damage is limited to only the immediate area
around
the bench.
No one is killed and damage is limited to property you own or control.
Loss of life, national media coverage, and your up on charges for
terrorism.
