Stocking Up In Case
July 8, 2007
Well I know I’m not the only one to go out this weekend and stock up on rifle ammo. Worst case scenario I bought enough to last a few hunting seasons not counting what I already had in stock. OSHA Rules will change the classification of gun powder, primers, and small arms ammo to explosives putting drastic restrictions on manufacturing, shipping and retailing them. I have written some earlier posts that you might want to check out to help you get up to speed if you’re not familiar with this Rule Change OSHA is attempting to push through.

At Mace Sports I ran into Rick who was on an ammo shopping spree as well. Mace Sports had a fair amount of folks stopping in buying ammo, and even the workers were voicing concerns over the new OSHA rules. A common theme with many I talked with this weekend is how this rule change snuck up on us. Hopefully the public comment period will get extended so manufactures and retailers will get opportunity to weigh in on this rule.
I also stopped in Gander Mountain this weekend and nobody there was aware of how close we are to losing our 2nd amendment rights by eliminating access to ammo. This also shows us how much work we have to do to get the word out about this attack.
Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, I’ll explore new places and ideas I’ll learn new things and I’ll teach the things I’ve learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.

stocking up is a good idea. I, too, will have enough ammo for the next few seasons on hand.
