Before we all get high and mighty, how many non-CF personnel on this forum are in posession of CADPAT? How many pics of people wearing issue CADPAT are in the photo gallery? Anyone ratted them out? Negative.

In response to what you said...
Civvies can legally and very easily buy genuine issued CADPAT BDU's and some other kit.
I have been over this a few times in the forums already here and on other sites but I don't want to find the thread so I'll post again.
There's a military surplus store in Morinville, Alberta, just a few minutes north of Edmonton (by the namao base) that bought bulk bins of kit at a military auction contents unknown. They then opened them upon purchase, and lo and behold, they were full of CADPAT. They started selling them, the army took them to court saying that they're selling controlled materials, but they lost so CEL Surlpus was legally allowed to sell them to anyone because it was the army's fault. (that's a very very brief overview.)
So it is very legal for airsofters to play in genuine CADPAT as long as it's not their issued kit if they're in the CF.
As another note of interest, CEL has also recieved laptops that haven't had harddrives wiped, nvgs, and other supposedly controlled materials a few times in the past as well at government auctions.
