Places that sell fun, frowned uppon things?

[mark]

Ive been on the look out latley for for places that sell minor illegal things that most reputable establishments dont carry. Things like swithblades, illegal fireworks, pharmacuticals if your so inclied, and in general, fun things. So far, Ive found that the fleemarkets in poor comunities are a good sorce of paraphenalia, knives, cheap and well made,crossbows, and on good days, firecrakers.

Has anyone else found good sorces for these kinds of things? Especially fireworks?

fleamarkets are really the best, but another place to look is at school, the mexicans who never show up on time or do any work most likely live in the gheto and can hook you up, doesn't mean it'll be cheap though. As for fireworks, i'd never buy them from the muds at my school as they usually are from mexico and are so fuckin shoddy they can and do go off in transit, I have seen things from boxes of m-1000's (good old silver salutes) sitting in the bottom of a box with a ton of flash that poured out of a few shoddy ones and many of them have flash on the ir sides (guess what happens if you light em?) they also tend to have short fuses and generally be crap.

I have never neede much illegal stuff. i had a friend with a fireworks permit :D

other stuff could be found legally, or from 'contacts'

Unfortunately there are no fleamarkets in my area. if there were i think i would pay at least a weekly visit, especially the things some people get from them.....

[inferno]

hahaha, im going to a "Food dealer" in Melbournes chinatown this weekend who has BB guns hidden in Tuna Tins and firecrackers in all sorts of "Food containers". As well as shells and shit :)

Anyway, hes a chinese guy who runs a food shop with various "fun frowned upon things", and believe me, if your city has a chinatown area, there will be fireworks galore if you have "contacts" who know about the shops (thats how i know about this place, from a friend).

If he got caught hed be in a lot of trouble, fireworks are pretty illegal here unless you have a licence (That includes buying fuses) in all but one state, which is a 10 hour drive for me, not worth it. Its funny though, you enter the state with the "Welcome to the ACT!" (its actually a territory) then 50m later, and every 50m from then on, "FIREWORKS NEXT RIGHT" "FIRECRACKERS 300M" "FIREWORKS SOLD AT NEXT LEFT" etc.

In the ACT now they've banned all fireworks for sale to the public,the only way you can buy them now is with a licence.

It doesnt worry me a great deal,I dont really care that much for fireworks now that ive moved onto bigger and better things. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> I'd rather spend $50 on some AN or KNO3 or any another precursor or chemical for that matter,but I must admit fireworks are pretty fun to play with. :D Makes you feel like a young kid again. :)

[SATANIC]

one day i'm going to canberra just to stock up. i think i'll hire a truck or something.... :D

i have a friend who was originally from there, he used to buy half sticks of dynamite all the time.....

[Demolition]

Ive never had that happen before,I must of got you by a couple of seconds. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> :cool:

(times of posting our replys --> both 7:00am)

My comunitie is full of rich, white, fairley useless kids, so I have no "contacts" for fireworks. Does anyone have any any tips for hunting them down in chinatown? Cricket or nbk, as we share the same state, do you have any tips for me?

[nbk2000]

Get to missouri mark. Fireworks are legal to buy there all year round. Check the phone book for a showroom. Hurry up 'cause the 4th is coming by quickly.

I've avoided gooks my whole life so I'd no nothing about chinatown.

PS: Why on earth would you buy them? Hint...forum...hint.

Hi Guys

Surprize the things the gov does not tell you. You can actually buy fireworks in NSW legally. When you buy a pac from ie howards they include the special Workcover permit for private use but you have to be over 18. They are small pack the larger ones require a public events permit ie more money and a copy of the safety vid. Ps they also sell electric matches as well.

[inferno]

Magas - Do you mean there are certain "packs" you can buy, as long as you are over 18?

Do you know anything of this in victoria? Making my own shells (KNO3+sugar+S rocket fuel leading to some basic stars and a burst charge of home-made bp or whatever) is easy enough but buying the chems and stuff costs a lot, and theres a good chance your rocket wont work properly or something, so its easier to buy fireworks.

[krimmie]

If you must buy fireworks...this has been a reliable source for me. Although I have a showroom close by, one can order online as well.

Thanks for that link, do theys ship to states where there banned?

[S. Toppholzer]

I once went to see a gun shop that has been closed by police due to a minor legal problem. I talked to the shopowner to buy fuse, double base smokeless powder and the like. Nothing illegal, mid you. But then he showed me some firework the police has forgotten to take along. That was professional firework: Big spheres with a piece of fuse that would be mounted on the big kind of rockets used at professional fireworks. He offered them to me. Unfortunately, I didn't have that much money with me.
I guess even if lit on the ground these big bastards must be real impressive!

Gooks, and Charlies are Viet Cong(VC). Chinks are China-men. NBK I thought that you of all people would have the slurs down. If you would like I will compile a list :D

China Town would be where I would look for anything. Guns, Explosives, whores(Love Asian Women; What an OVER-SEXED RACE). Just don't fuck around down there they will cut of you ball and eat them with Chicken-Fied(missing r was intentional)-Rice.

[nbk2000]

Firework companies only ship to states where it's legal to own the fireworks you're ordering. Otherwise it'd be too easy, wouldn't it? :p

[mark]

Fleemarket scores again! I just bought a set of 3 jaguar throwing knives form some chinese guy. The only problem is, I dont know how to throw them.

Nbk, are you sure there arent any that might be willing to bend the rules a bit?

[Anthony]

Maybe if you knew the owner/manager on a personal level... Otherwise, pretty much no chance, they have no idea who you are and you're going to be placing a small order (they'll probably get multi-thousand dollar orders frequently) and if caught they could face prosecution, hefty fines and a damaged reputation - definitely not worth the profit they'll get on sending you $50 of fireworks.

[MacCleod]

Another thing that helps build trust from the fireworks sellers is having children with you,as the police aren't allowed to use minors in sting operations (in the U.S.,anyway).That's how I hooked up with my current supplier.

[PYRO500]

I'd question the legitamacy of the cops not being able touse minors for stings, in fact they were recruting minors (high school students) that were under 18 to volunteer for the cops to go to quicke marts and liquor stores to see if they could get beer/cigarettes, if they walked out with the stuff in hand the cops would come in there and arrest anyone responsable.

[nbk2000]

It's one thing to involve a minor in a beer buying bust, and another in a drug sting or gun running bust.

I doubt the clerk who sold the minor beer is going to whip out an UZI and start spraying lead when the coppers come to cuff him up (well, maybe I would... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ).

[PYRO500]

I just posted that as an example that they do use minors for undercover stings, probobly not for arms trade stuff but I think it would be safe to assume they could do the same with fireworks.

[MacCleod]

Pyro500,my kids are 3,5 and 8 years old.It's pretty safe to say the police don't send toddlers in to buy smokes!I agree ,though,that minors are used to catch smokes/alcohol age restriction non-compliers (should'nt have used the word 'sting'!).The reason I mentioned it was because both of the dealers I buy from approached me in state-legal stands (sparklers,fountains,etc.) and offered to hook me up with non-state legal stuff,because I had my kids with me.

I thought that your kids were older, I guess it would look really bad if you used very young kids for something like that.

[malzraa]

Yeah, I have always had a good time getting things from high-schools in the ghetto areas of town. Poor people have way more fun!

Some of the head shops are quite useful for this sort of thing - certainly they are more likely to hold interesting stuff.

The gadget shops (smaller novelty) sometimes have fun stuff. I found a tiny Berloque flare pistol in one, once. Rather neat, I fired it a few times, then realised it was 5 years for possession of it, and destroyed it. (Yes, 5 years *mandatory minuimum* for something that was designed to go on a keyring, bought for £20 in a high street shop, and firing little fulminate caps!)

Car boot sales can be good, but it is rare to find anything cool these days, as they are far too commercial round here.

Dodgy pubs? Get a job in one, and see what you get offered! One of my mates got offered two different guns, including an Uzi, + loads of dodgy gear, whilst working in a local pub for all of a month and a half! And it was about the least dodgy pub ever :-)

Ever wonder if the guy offering the Uzi was working with the security services?

Hard to say. The UK doesn't use them for anything at all. It's all MP5s and other H&K toys.

It could have been a sting, but the UK doesn't really go for that in a big way.

Some years later, not very far away, a reporter bought, for £1200(!), a 7.62mm tripod mounted belt-fed machinegun with a whole load of ammo. An Uzi seems pretty tame next to something that could cut a house in half!

Us po' folks are often left to our own devices because the government
generally doesn't give a shit as long as we don't raise alot of alarms
or interfere with their fund-raising efforts. Naturally, we become more
creative because of necessity ! And, YES, we know how to have FUN ! :D
