URGENT - Gun owners need to act on this one.

[WhisperFan]

This is not an urban legend - it is not a myth - it is not something that needs to be voted on ...... the Occupational Safety and Health Administration could change this regulation without notice. Once done - it could terrible for gun owners.

Under the heading of “Revised Definitions” in the OSHA proposal -

Explosive. This term would be defined to mean any device, or liquid or solid chemical compound or mixture, the primary or common purpose of which is to function by explosion. The term ``explosive'' would be defined to include all material included as a Class 1 explosive by DOT in accordance with 49 CFR chapter I. The term would include, but would not be limited to, dynamite, black powder, pellet powders, detonators, blasting agents, initiating explosives, blasting caps, safety fuse, fuse lighters, fuse igniters, squibs, cordeau detonant fuse, instantaneous fuse, igniter cord, igniters, pyrotechnics, special industrial explosive materials, small arms ammunition, small arms ammunition primers, smokeless propellant, cartridges for propellant-actuated power devices, and cartridges for industrial guns.

From the NRA-ILA:
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.

This looks serious for us all

Contact your elected representatives - do not assume that the NRA can do it alone - help them on this one.
