[Guest]

I don't usually post around here but ... I think this is the right audience. We were shopping for house stuff (boring), and the warrior found this amazing box:

I have been looking for a toy box for years! The ones in the stores were too ... mmm ... small.

I am so happy!

After years of trying to find just the right way to transport toys to play parties and clubs to do shows/demos, I've found that rifle/shotgun cases - especially doubles - work great for canes, crops and floggers. The cases with the "rippled" foam (several parallel channels) are especially effective for long thin implements (canes, crops), and the "egg crate" type foam interiors are good for floggers, because the foam holds the falls securely without "creasing" them. A little bit of shopping can find various styles and sizes according to your needs - sometimes as low as $10-12 (US) for a double rifle case (WalMart, particularly between Thanksgiving and the end of the year), and eBay often has some good bargains on cases, as well.

ETA: If you have smaller implements that need good protection, such as a violet wand with its glass insertables, a double pistol case is just about perfect. If you get the kind with *flat* foam inserts, you can cut or burn out recesses for each attachment.

nice cases

That looks good.

It does say something about freedom, when you can buy weapon's cases, then fill them with kinky stuff...

hehehehe

Maharat you need to be signed into MySpace to view your pic and I refuse to sign up for MySpace. Any chance you could describe your toy box?

A gun case! How imaginative. *admiring some of those toys*

Or create a photobucket account and put a pic there to direct-link to a post?

ETA: Thank you, ww. Don't recall exactly how I got the idea, but it's worked out very nicely for me for a number of years now.

If I might ask, do you travel across a border with that? Just wondering about Cdn./US land/air border crossings with a gun case? Probably not a good idea, eh?

LOL! I rarely travel at all any more, and then not more than a couple of hundred miles from "home base," and I haven't been out of the U.S. since I got back from Viet Nam in '69. However, when living in Chattanooga, I made a run up to the Knoxville area for a little party with the gun (and other) cases in the back of my pickup truck. On the way home late that night, I got stopped at one of Tennessee's periodic DUI checkpoints. Things were going fine - I obviously wasn't impaired when the officer came to the window - but then he noticed the gun cases in the back of the pickup. "Umm... what's in the cases?" he asked. I blinked, looked at him, and said, "You don't really want to know," with a little grin. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Would you open them, please?" <Sigh> I opened the flogger case, and he studied the contents by flashlight, then looked at me and said...







"You're right. I didn't want to know."

Sorry, I did not realize you had to log in for that.

I attached them here.

Actually, I don't know what is worse for airport security: having to deal with a gun case, or to open them and find those toys.

I keep giggling, alternating from imagining that it softens the blow, to just becoming much too much for the person to handle

I suppose that Sir Winston probably would remain calm during the situation, and that would surely make them want to run away....

I have to agree. I too wonder which would be worse in their eyes: guns or my toys? For me, it's obvious: my toys bring pleasurable pain and painful pleasure; guns bring pain, maiming, death. But given the current climate toward just about anything other than the church-approved missionary position... <Sigh>

As far as remaining calm... I would. I think the only place in this country that they're illegal - and then only if displayed and/or for sale, as far as I know - is Alabama. (Sorry, BiBunny, but your home state is lost somewhere in the 17th century.)

I would. I think the only place in this country that they're illegal - and then only if displayed and/or for sale, as far as I know - is Alabama. (Sorry, BiBunny, but your home state is lost somewhere in the 17th century.)

So it is illegal to display them but not use them in Alabama? And illegal to keep them stored away from the kids? (just curious, just in case we have to move there)

 

[WriterDom]

I think you can have them in Bama. Just not sell them.

I keep mine in an archery case.

I *had* an archery case that would have made a great toy carrier... unfortunately, it was filled with my compound bow, arrows, etc. Then I sold the bow, and didn't think to keep the case. <Sigh>

 

[BiBunny]

You can have them here, but you can't sell them. I think it's one of those laws that no one enforces, though, because there are three toy stores just down the road. All the boxes do have "For Educational And Novelty Purposes Only" stickers slapped on them, though. Maybe that protects them from liability or something? I have no idea. It just amuses me to think how someone could use a strap-on for educational purposes.

And, yes, this place is definitely stuck in the 17th century.

Canes are very educational.

Sex toys still banned in Alabama, guns okay​

A decision issued yesterday by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals says Alabama doesn't have to lift its silly, arcane 1998 law banning the sale of sex toys. The Constitution does not include a right to sexual privacy, the panel of three judges ruled. Many Americans would disagree, including this one. To paraphrase Andrew Orlowski's brilliant quip about the INDUCE Act, under this law one could stroll down Alabama's southern streets selling semiautomatic rifles and dildos, and be arrested for the dildos.

"In this case, the American Civil Liberties Union ('ACLU') invites us to add a new right to the current catalogue of fundamental rights under the Constitution: a right to sexual privacy. It further asks us to declare Alabama's statute prohibiting the sale of 'sex toys' to be an impermissible burden on this right. Alabama responds that the statute exercises a time-honored use of state police power -- restricting the sale of sex. We are compelled to agree with Alabama and must decline the ACLU's invitation. (...)​

"Alabama's Anti-Obscenity Enforcement Act prohibits, among other things, the commercial distribution of 'any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for any thing of pecuniary value.'"​

This calls for massive civil disobedience. FreeTheAlabamaVibrator.com {now expired} is still available, people -- it's time to stick it to the Man. Here's the decision in PDF (Sherri Williams v. Attorney General of Alabama, case 02-16135). More on the story here, in a Seattle P-I piece {expired - sorry}. And during National Orgasm Week, no less. Is nothing sacred? Here's a PDF summarizing the state's gun laws (Alabama's congresscritters are against renewing the Assault Weapons Ban, which expires on September 13 -- evidently the state's pro-gun lobby is much more powerful than its pro-vibrator lobby). (Thanks, Baptiste Coulmont)
Update: Fleshbot has just issued this playful tease to readers who oppose the Alabama ban:

three $50 gift certificates from Eros Boutique to the three readers who come up with the best sex-toy related protest items, either by way of a vibemod prototype or Photoshopped creation. Confederate Flag Ticklers? Birmingham Ben-Wa Balls? Crimson Tide Cock Rings? Send your ideas and photos here {expired}.​

You can have our Hello Kitty vibes and Cup-'o-Pussys when you pry them from our cold, dead hands, Alabama governor Bob Riley.

I don't know about gun cases, but the TSA certainly takes an interest in toys in checked luggage. When M_Wisdom and I went to NYC last year both of our checked luggage got searched. They must have taken everything out of the bag that held all of his surprises for me because NOTHING was put back in the order he packed it I guess the ropes and the floggers caught their attention.

Me, I got a nice note saying they searched my bag
