Really? Wow, how f-ing sad. That’s down there with the ID requirement buying cough syrup.
Is someone gonna make a bomb with spray paint?
Kids (and serious low lifes) use spray paint for “huffing”, which is inhaling the aerosol.
The law is intended to prevent vandalism and youth inhaling. Actually, the Georgia law does not specifically restrict sales of spray paint to minors. It states that MODEL GLUE cannot be sold to anyone under 18.
But every time you go into Walmart or Home Depot and pick up a can of spray paint, they card you at the register as if it were a six-pack of beer.
Under the law, O.C.G.A. § 16-13-90, et seq., model glue is defined as any chemical substance containing one of up to 34 chemicals and some of the chemicals listed are common in spray paints. So the merchants card.
