Proposed "Safety" Regulations Would Dry Up Ammunition Sales=20
=20
Tuesday, July 03, 2007=20
=20
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed new
rules that would have a dramatic effect on the storage and transportation o=
f
ammunition and handloading components such as primers or black and smokeles=
s
powder. The proposed rule indiscriminately treats ammunition, powder and
primers as "explosives." Among many other provisions, the proposed rule
would:
=20
* Prohibit possession of firearms in commercial "facilities
containing explosives"-an obvious problem for your local gun store.
* Require evacuation of all "facilities containing explosives"-eve=
n
your local Wal-Mart-during any electrical storm.
* Prohibit smoking within 50 feet of "facilities containing
explosives."
=20
It's important to remember this is only a proposed rule right now, so
there's still time for concerned citizens to speak out before OSHA issues
its final rule. The National Rifle Association, National Shooting Sports
Foundation, and Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute will
all be commenting on these proposed regulations, based on the severe effect
these regulations (if finalized) would have on the availability of
ammunition and reloading supplies to safe and responsible shooters.=20
