Absolutely NOT!! The Police State of New York has a State law, where they take your name, rank, serial number, address, date of birth, etc. etc., and put it in a spiral notebook, BUT that's the Police State of NY doing that, there is NO FED. REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH NONSENSE (YET!!) I now buy powder in Waynesboro, PA, and in Hancock MD, and NEITHER STATE has such a requirement, as far as the people from whom I buy my powder know! Must just be a Bass Pro-Shop idea!! Buy your powder from someone else!!
