: : : 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,
: : : Sean

: : 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.
: : -graml
: : p.s. In answer to your question, I dunno.

: I just returned from a family vacation to Disneyland. I wanted to get a picture of me and my kids in front of the truck at the entrance to the Indiana Jones Adventure, dressed in full Indiana Jones regalia – much to my wife’s’ embarrassment.

: Nobody even batted an eye when I brought a 10-foot bullwhip through the check stations and carried it on to the airplane!

: Go figure…

: "Adios Satipo..."

I suppose it would be hard to take someone seriously who said, "Take this plane to Cuba, or I'll crack this whip!"
