Gyger says the substance is safe. He said you can try burning it or hitting it with a baseball bat and it will not explode. Only a high velocity bullet can activate the mixture, causing a reaction. 

Bass Pro Shops in Branson does not offer the product, but Bass Pro Shops in Springfield does offer Kaboom.  They are currently sold-out with no indication of when their shelves will be restocked.
