So would they rather have us use cans that spill gas onto the trails?
I think they'd rather not jump through what I'm sure is an ungodly number of hoops to be gov. certified. They'll still sell to their largest customer though, the US Military.

I wish I didn't know that CA residents can't buy them or I would tell you that I ordered mine from Action Gear.
Bought 2 from SOR about 3 months ago, and they shipped them to my house (still in Cali). They are pricey, though.
Well it looks like I missed the boat on this one...

What's a "CARB" Can?
CARB stands for California Air Resources Board. They established regulations for environmental requirements of Portable Fuel Containers and Spill-Proof spouts in California. Many states have adopted these requirements. The U.S. EPA will adopt similar national requirements in January 2009. A CARB Compliant canister must have the following features to meet these requirements:• An autostop, self venting nozzle that stops the flow of fuel when the target tank reaches full.
• A single opening for filling & pouring. No separate vents or openings.
• A treated can body for very low permeation.
• Automatic closure. Nozzle automatically springs to the closed position when not pouring.
