Legal and Illegal states

Oct. 4 2011

It is always best to check with local authorities first, do not buy a glider if you don't live where it is legal doing so could result in loss of the animal (possible euthanization) as well as heavy fines and lack of ability to find proper veterinary care. I will not sell to anyone who resides in a state that it is illegal to own.
