    Ok so I am watching this video and some time around 6:30 he starts explaing how its illegal to import fish, plants or wildlife. I know I am missing something as thats not the reason I am watching the video but thought it was odd. One of those laws no one knows about??

    I've seen that video before, it's good to review it every once in awhile to remind yourself to "just say no" when a cop asks for an interview :jester:

    No, it's all in the wording.

    "in violation of any law, treaty or regulation"



    So if you import fish or whatever in violation of any law, it's a federal matter... I don't know why some laws are rehashed like this though...

    It is my eye getting LASIK. Also, it is my eye looking over the threads I post to :p

    I have a few more shots. I have one you can see part of it peeled off too. Awesome.

    Typically, you need a permit to do any sort of importing of plants or animals from other countries, and sometimes even from other states too.

    I agree, let's see pics of P's eyeballs! :p
