Yes, it is sold at the gunshop, but anyone over 18 and not looking like a chav can buy Pyrodex or one of the similar propellants without the need for a licence. It is not classed as blackpowder or a nitro propellant and the laws are different. You would need good cause and a reasonable story to justify your purchase and the gunshop owners will not sell to chavs etc. If you know what you want and have reason then you can purchase it without being interrogated. Your name & address by ID may be entered in a logbook by the shop attendant. This is not out of the ordinary and does not mean your details will be flashed to the authorities. It is good practice as all propellants have chemical ID markers imbedded and so those found during forensic examination at scenes of crimes can be ID'd back to the original batch and so the market chain can be followed. So don't go committing crimes with it & you will fine. The ability to purchase these substances without a licence is kept low profile for good reason - bit like us. TL. (It is not black powder and so explosives laws do not apply. You do not need an explosives storage box or secured location. Be sensible though!)
