In a answer to this question:
Quote:
In addition to the above prohibited projectiles, Section 24.1. (a) (3) and (a) (7) (iii) and Section 24.1.(a)
(11), unchanged by Public Act 92-0423, list the following as prohibited.
Section 24.1. (a) A person commits the offense of unlawful use of weapons when he knowingly:
(3) Carries on or about his person or in any vehicle, a tear gas gun projector or bomb or any object containing noxious liquid gas or substance, other than an object containing a non-lethal noxious liquid gas or substance designed solely for personal defense carried by a person 18 years of age or older.
(7) (iii) Any bomb, bomb-shell, grenade, bottle or other container containing an explosive substance of over one-quarter ounce for like purposes, such as, but not limited to, black powder bombs and Molotov cocktails or artillery projectiles;
Tannerite is not a bomb. As that section of the statute reads it is pointing to destructive devices. " Any bomb or explosive substances for like purposes ".
Tannerite would not fall into that catagory due to the nature of the product. It's a shot indicator, not a bomb. Take car manufactures for example, airbags have a explosive device in them. The companies//people who manufacture airbags have to be federally licesenced with the ATF to manufacture them...Like Tannerite has to be for the Targets. But the public can posses airbags without any licensing because the end result of said product is not built to use as a destructive device. Same with the targets. They are not pipe bombs or molotav cocktails.
I would need to read other statutes of Illinois law before I can make a decent judgment call. But given the information I read in a earlier post I would say that yes, Tannerite is legal in Illinois. I would recommend that you use it ONLY as a shot indicator however.
If you guys have any questions I can help ya with please let me know.
