Where to buy Muriatic Acid

[CelticDaddio]

My wife went to Home Depot today so I asked her to pick up some Muriatic Acid.... She got a little concerned when she saw "Caustic Substance" on the label and found out that it is a controlled substance and could only by one box. I had no idea it was a controlled substance... Why is it controlled?

Lowe's and Home Depot ran just under $10 for 2 1-gallon jugs of the 32% stuff.

Found out that my local farm-and-ranch store also carries it in the same concentration for about $2 for 1 gallon...a savings of over 50%! I found it in their plumbing section.

I believe that muriatic acid is used in Meth production which is why they sometime limit the amount you can get.
