First, criminal charges does not equate to life in prison. It may equate to fines and probation or some jail time but not life in prison.

You don't need a red tip or clear body at all. How else can we get PTW's, and other high quality "black guns" in our hands? The red tip is a US law ONLY! Not Canadian, however it has been confused for a Canadian one because we import a lot of those cap guns either from the US or from the same factories in China. It's easier to put a blanket "red tip for North America" than to separate your manufacturing processes. As for the clear body that's a slightly easier way to get stuff into Canada but it still depends on how the CBSA agent is feeling that day. They have their own internal policies as to what gets in and what doesn't.
