No.

The Portuguese Army is the most active in deactivating mines in its own ex-colonies, most notably Angola, the most landmine-ridden area of the globe.

Where you can buy landmines?

Nowhere. Landmines are illegal explosive devices in virtually all countries. Private individuals or entities cannot legally acquire landmines. They are available for government (military) procurement and use ONLY. The outer shell of a landmine can sometimes be purchased at various online war-replica artifact stores. You might find demilitarized ones at your local army surplus store. This will include NONE of the explosives, fragmentation, or fuse parts of landmines.
