I think this is a little overboard. If this is proper move then companies need to stop selling ball bearings, cell phones and back packs too.

It is nothing but an attempt by the store to not have people go 'Oh, that was used to make the bomb. I wonder if they bought it here?'. It has nothing to do with respect, just marketing.

Some of the concoctions my wife has made in a crock pot over the years could be considered a threat. :leaving

I am giving you guys fair warning here and now that I'm bringing my tactical pressure cooker to Texas when I move next month.

Don't try to stop me!
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When pressure cookers are outlawed only outlaws and governments will have pressure cookers.

Wow I am lucky I bought mine last weekend before they get banned. Mine is the high capacity 16qt model, with pressure gauge, pressure indicator/lid lock and pressure relief valve(this makes it California compliant)

As soon as I heard they were being pulled off the shelves, I immediately purchased fifty of them. I had to hit every Walmart and Macy's in the DFW metroplex but I got them all. I'm going to list them on pressure cooker broker for ten times what I paid for them. :coolgleamA:

It's hoarders like you that give all of the amateur chefs a bad name. Everybody should have a right to...whatever it is you cook in a pressure cooker!

I hear they are going to ban private sales. You would have to go thru a FPCL (Federal Pressure Cooker License) and pass NICS (National Instant Chef Background Check System).
