[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 403555, member: 1604"] Proposed “Safety” Regulations Would Dry Up Ammunition Sales Tuesday, July 03, 2007 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed new rules that would have a dramatic effect on the storage and transportation of ammunition and handloading components such as primers or black and smokeless powder. The proposed rule indiscriminately treats ammunition, powder and primers as “explosives.” Among many other provisions, the proposed rule would: Prohibit possession of firearms in commercial “facilities containing explosives”—an obvious problem for your local gun store. Prohibit delivery drivers from leaving explosives unattended—which would make it impossible for delivery services such as UPS to deliver ammunition or gun powder. Require evacuation of all “facilities containing explosives”—even your local Wal-Mart—during any electrical storm. Prohibit smoking within 50 feet of “facilities containing explosives.” 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’ Association 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. The public comment period ends July 12. To file your own comment, or to learn more about the OSHA proposal, go to [url=http://www.regulations.gov]http://www.regulations.gov[/url] and search for Docket Number OSHA-2007-0032”; you can read OSHA’s proposal and learn how to submit comments electronically, or by fax or mail.
