NO MORE POWDER ON THE SHELVES

[Termite I]

It varies here in Colorado, some stores have the powder on the shelves while others have empty containers showing what they have in the back. Been that way for years and not something new here. But, and there's always a but , I'm sure they are going to try every dirty trick in the book to make it harder to get or more expensive with legislation or fee's. There are some cities here that have a higher tax on soda pop because the sugar is so evil. We are becoming more like California every day here in Calirado.

You must be referring to the peoples republic of Boulder or some other place on the front range. Here on the western slope, powder and primers are on the shelf.

I understand the logic for fire protection and more over for the protection of the fire fighters. But much of the rulings do nothing to protect them as much as one might think. I believe that many of these ordinances are created by people that haven't a clue about powders, primers and ammunition.
As for the liberal coastal states, New Yorker's and Californians are moving out of their states in droves to escape the Dems madness. Sadly, they didn't learn a thing and are taking their stupid policies with them and imposing them on their new states. Like a cancer, they just keep spreading.
We have the same issue with small areas controlling the entire state in the voting. Three counties control Washington state, Pierce, King and Snohomish. The rest of the state just doesn't have enough clout to push the liberals out.
Personally, I think this is a prime reason that states should adopt the electoral voting system. On the federal level it protects those states voice in the election decision making where the states have lower populations and funds than other states. That way all the counties can be heard and have equal say in how their state is run.

I am sure that the stores will hire more personnel to wait on the customers desiring powder. Powder does not explode it burns.

Colorado passed an amendment to help with that very thing, appears it is being questioned. Bottom line, we are trying to keep a few counties from makeing decisions for the entire state.

Once again, they courts are ruling based on their opinions and to maintain the status quo. The courts are supported by the ruling parties and therefore rule accordingly. We see this every day across the nation. It saddens me what is happening to our nation.

Not only are some complying with the fire codes, some do it due to shop lifting. No big deal to ask for some and have a sales person get it and bring it too you. Some do it, some don't.

Fire codes are based on the National Building Code (BOCA). The codes are updated every three years. For as far back as I can remember - at least back to 1990 when I began my journey with the fire service, for storage of smokeless powder over XXX lbs., it was supposed to be stored in a ventilated wooden magazine, in a separate outbuilding. I'm going based upon memory here, but I think it was anything over 125 lbs.

Primers were supposed to be kept in a separate wooden magazine.

Black powder had a separate, but lower storage limit.

Manufactured ammunition had a magazine requirement, but could be made of glass & metal, and the storage limit was significantly higher.

It sounds as if there is a new marshall in town, who is simply going by the book.

Just FYI.

Most of the shooters here are violating the law on powder storage
It very easy could be the insurance companies have tightened the screws

My shelves, and no, they are not empty bottles

Remember, the "law" varies by state.
The National Building Code get interpreted by each state and municipality.... a bit differently.
There are likely no local or state regulations regarding this sort of thing in most of the country.
The best thing you can do is, if and when you dial 911,-let the good folks who respond know where in the building (house, shed, etc) the powder/primers are.
If you really want to be proactive, install an internal suppression system in that part of the house....

Sportsmans Warehouse, aka Redneck Paradise (camo diapers?) here in Albuquerque has empty cans on the shelf since the day they opened.

Look on your own shelves and then read your state law. Bet 100% of us are in violation. In Maryland you are allowed to buy five lbs a day but you can only store five lbs in your home. Oddly, if I order on line, I can have up as much as I can pay for shipped to my house and I have never had a supplier refuse to ship it to me. I would have to pay a separate hazmat fee for each 48 lbs though. This is the result of the Fire Code.

the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) writes guides not law.
It is up to each state or local govt to choose wether they will adopt these guides or not.... many do not.

I don't believe tannerite will ignite via fire, it requires a significant impact, otherwise it is safe.
