Exactly. That's why it took so long to have the ability to buy alcohol over the internet here.bravedave wrote:Taxes
If you fill out the paperwork, get appropriate stamps and pay the taxes, all booze can be legal. (Except where it isn't ever legal)

But in Maryland you could buy beer and wine if you were 18. We were about 40 miles
from the Mason-Dixon line so we would occasionly make "border runs" and get a few
cases and bring them back to PA. If you were caught you were screwed.
Actually we did this before the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies came out.aeroparrot wrote:Why am I thinking that this is your own Smokey and the Bandit run?big john wrote:Way back in the day when I was 18, the drinking age in PA was (and still is) 21.

not technically, no. It is illegal... but somehow, some have magically shown up on my doorstep in a postal service box.BahamaBreeze wrote:But you aren't suppose to use the US Mail are you?
My friends in SC sent me a birthday present, and it made it in one piece.

Can you take it as carry on?
not carry on anymore.. since the Aug. 10th bombing attempt.that never happened..ph4ever wrote:I grew up in a dry county with the exception of two small wide spots in the road about 10 miles east and west of the small city I lived in. Cops could, and would, charge you for transporting alcohol into a dry area but it couldn't be a primary offense. You had to get pulled over for another violation or reason.
i don't know for sure but i would guess that TSA has no desire to enforce state liquor laws. their job is to monitor safety and security and that gives them more than enough on their plate. and their concern over booze greater than 140 proof is because it is highly flamableragtopW wrote:BahamaBreeze wrote:And its still there when you land?

a few years back.. Before that?? I took some Rum and gin into
Denver..
I have an insulated beach bag. that zips closed (thanks DIRECTV) I carry some bubble
wrap and a couple of "old" shirts as I said.. we "all" do it..
I just wondered if we stood a chance of getting the hammer dropped.
for me it's stuff I can't get in Idaho.. (Jumby!!) so I have no issue
with bringing my own.. also on the way out I get a few mini's
so that I have something to drink at the hotel..

The KY/TN state line is one mile from my house. And the only hard liquor stores are in Kentucky. So I carry it over the state line quite frequently. I'm within an hour of four states where I live. Within 2 hours of 7 states. If it were illegal to carry liquor over those lines, a lot of people would be in trouble. 
Not that I DO anything illegal, 'cause I don't. did they change the sunday law??buffettbride wrote:Y'all live in some messed up places.

It's been changed for 5 or so years maybe? Hard to remember. Could be less.ragtopW wrote:did they change the sunday law??buffettbride wrote:Y'all live in some messed up places.
