Not a real answer, more of a brief anecdote.

In Reply to: Importing bullwhips... posted by Sean on August 11, 1999 at 03:36:17:

: Hi:
: Does anyone know if there is any problems importing a David Morgan whip into Canada? I'm just curious because it seems it could be considered a weapon and also there may be special laws regarding the type of hide it is made from.
: You think you have it bad my American friends - consider it will cost me $760 Canadian to get one!

: Cheers,

Hey. $760? You are a true Indyfan! Anyhow, when I ordered my
bullwhip from a latigo dealer in Mexico, he reminded me to check with
my local authorities on any laws about bullwhips. So I called the York
County Sheriff's office to inquire about the legality of bullwhips, and
the deputy who took my call said (and I quote) "I dunno." He then
asked the guy next to him about his thoughts on the bullwhip issue.
The deputy next to him said (another quote) "Sounds okay to me."
Needless to say, I now own a bullwhip, and since no local authorities
have hauled me in yet (at least not on any bullwhip charges), I hope
that they're legal in my district. You may want to call your local police
department. I hope they're at least more competent than my local
police department. Just my two cents.

p.s. In answer to your question, I dunno.
