ANST - brew as prizes

These are some of the laws and regulations that I am trying to cover
with my investigation and will be discussing at Laurel's Prize Tourney.
I admit that I will not cover Local Laws since that would be impossible
for myself. I will be covering as many Federal and State Laws and
Regulations that I can.

This is a good assumption and policy in my opinion when dealing with
something that is in the "grey" areas. Individuals can take risks but
the corporation can not.

Thank you!!! I will chase them down now instead of waiting for ABLE to
respond to me.

Thank you. I think we will. *grin*

Btw, all discussions I have on this topic and all statements I make are
my opinion and are definately not those of the SCA nor the Kingdom of
Ansteorra. I am not a lawyer. I am not an expert. I am just somebody
who is trying to expand education starting with myself.
