Proposed OSHA Rule Would Hurt Hunters and Shooters

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has proposed new rules that would classify ammunition, powder and primers as explosives, effectively changing how ammunition and handloading components can be stored, sold and transported.

This proposed rule change would make it illegal for sporting good stores to sell firearms and ammunition in the same building, require evacuation of all facilities, including sporting good stores, containing ammunition in the event of a lightning storm and prohibit delivery drivers from leaving ammunition unattended, virtually eliminating mail-order ammunition sales from companies such as Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s.

OSHA’s rule change will affect hunters and shooters ability to purchase ammunition, and critically hurt ammunition manufacturers by implementing unneeded regulations, which could limit ammunition production and raise prices.

Public comment on OSHA Docket Number OSHA-2007-0032 was recently expanded through September 10, 2007. Let OSHA know how this rule change is unnecessary and would affect law-abiding and responsible hunter’s and shooter’s accessibility to ammunition by going to http://www.regulations.gov and posting a comment against this unwarranted attack on hunting and shooting.

Regulations.gov is a way for the general public to give opinions about federal regulatory actions. To comment on the rule on ammunition and explosives, search Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed rules and click on comments

I have friends that own a local sporting goods store and they are very worried.They had planned on dividing the store into to parts and having one side that sales ammo and the other fire arms , but the city will not alow it due to several buildings are connected and it would force the evacuation of several local buisness.They have their homes and property up as collateral for the shop and if the law takes effect then they will more than likley lose every thing.

I sure am glad that warriors of our military have left legs, arms and life scattered across this great world.....in the name of freedom, so we could all become a bunch of commies owned by our government!!! While we liberate everyone else..........we have lost our freedom.

I am sick of LAWS and TAXES!!!

In Indiana you dont need to worry about this OSHA rule, because if property taxes dont change......people wont be able to afford an apartment, let alone a business.

We are really no different then Russia was 30 years ago. We work, give it to the government and they let us live in our house....as long as we keep paying taxes.

It seems like the government is going after the law abiding citizens since they can't come up with the balls to go after the criminals!!!!

Not only do you need to contact the President and your Congressman. Contact the NRA.
