I don't believe it is legal, but to dispose of some old powder - we dug an open hole and poored it into the hole - made a very long fuse with remaining powder - just like they do in the movies and then added a long paper fuse & lit and watched the flash style poof. It doesn't explode, because it is not contained. It flashes, much like a black powder camera flash from old westerns, but a little higher energy.
I bet that derringer is worth some coin to some collectors, but I am not a collector, so not sure. It just sounds expensive.

Sprinkle it on your yard or in you garden. I've heard it is great fertilizer.
I've heard that too.

Put it on your lawn, or take it to the fire department, or whatever... but don't fool around with it... you're smarter than that. Besides... if you go blowing yourself up, who's going to post all the cool pics... and do schitt like shoot big bucks with a longbow durring modern rifle season?
I'm sure there's a hundred guys on here who've messed around with BP and still have all their fingers (and eyebrows)... but that don't make it sensable.

Dont let the kids near it, but do a test burn out in the pasture, with a long fuse. Then, once you see the burn rate, plan your shenanigans! :drool:

pour it out, light a match to it and let it burn. what are you thinking the federal offense is? Black powder is not illegal. find an anthill, pour a circle around it..light a match and yell Die, you little suckers... :chuckle: :chuckle:

Yeah intruder, I did a few things like that too when I was younger. I have a real good one but Idabooner has to swear not to read it. I was into model rockets, well if any of you have ever done them you know they are designed to blast the cone off at the end so the parachute can come out. Well, I sealed the top of the tube and bottom and filled it with gunpowder that I removed from a box of factory loads I bought. I went out into the field to launch the thing and for the first time in 10 years the county sheriff drives by. What kind of a coincidence is that............If he had been about 60 seconds slower, my time might be about up now.....Nowadays I think they'd frown onthat sort of thing.

The FBI has a real problem with that.
