OSHA (dept of Labor) has proposed a new rule that will make shipping explosives illegal. This is being interpreted as no gun powder, loaded ammo, primers, and black powder.

Thanks for the heads up. I contacted the OSHA website and looked the regs up, then wrote a letter of objections and sent it to them. I also have e-mailed my federal senator and congressmen asking them to oppose this too. I also contacted NRA, but it is already on top of it all. Lastly, I e-mailed five hunting friends to tell them about this and ask for some action from them. If we all sit on our butts waiting for someone else to act, you'll see $60 boxs of .243 ammo, a pound of H414 costing $75 and primers so high we'd gave to buy them by the hundred to afford them. Do not wait, act now. July 12 is just a few days away. Tom Purdom

USA shooters, wake up. If you haven't heard, OSHA (dept of Labor) has proposed a new rule that will make shipping explosives illegal. This is being interpreted as no gun powder, loaded ammo, primers, and black powder.

The above links from another site are pretty informative. Please go to the OSHA webite and post your comments (link provided). Needs to be entered by July 12.

It is being considered as a "back door" approach to gun control, and can shut down the shooting sports industry. Please read and act.

How does OSHA propose to ship same stuff for cops and military? Or is this the prelude to a sweet deal for trucking companies who have exemptions for national security reasons?

Jeez, reading this is like chewing sawdust, 55 pages written by would-be-Faulkners...

The OSHA comment period has been extended 60 days to September .

Just filled it out and signed it,will send it on to other like minded friends.Thanks

OSHA in standing down after several polititians and thousands of us regular folks Zumboed their website. They claim that they did not know that it would have an impact on gun stores and that it was never intended to be any sort of ammo regulation. The proposed new rule change is dead.
