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
