Legal Info for Reloaders - New from NFA

[C Broad Arrow]

Most likely for the same reason you've been posting the doom and gloom, "the sky is falling", financial articles. Some folks are comforted by a state of near panic, and enjoy spreading the joy.

Carry on, but be aware of the potential for a problem if you are fast and loose with things that can, on occation, go pear shaped.

Well thanks! That clears things up nicely!

And of course all these regs are to prevent the hundreds of reloading-related fires and accidents that have plagued Canadian society and led to so much loss of life and personal property.

Name me one.

Just more BS laws for the sake of laws, to separate shooting from the mainstream populace.

I was wondering the same thing. Not a day goes by without readng a story on how some reloader by being careless burnt down all of the surrounding houses in the neighbourhood.

Seems the CFO should do a financial evaluation of the cost of the problem before spending tax dollars on projects designed to enlarge the bureaucracy or open up another front on the "war" against gun owners.

The reason for wood is that it does not transfer heat well. Think of you BBQ on your deck. The railings might get warm but they don't conduct heat. Metal boxes conduct heat. No ferrous re sparking .
The idea is to buy time, to allow you to get it out of the house or where ever if there was a fire.
The English box for black powder is a beauty. Seperate compartments sealed all wood and brass.
Expensive though.

If my house was on fire, ya sure I'm going to go and save my powder.

I understand the reasoning, but lets get real.

It's not for you, it's for the firefighters. In theory they can toss the thing out a window before it adds to the fire. In practice, who knows.

Interesting to note TWO THINGS....

The Fire Marshall may inspect your home for smoke detectors, and your insurance company can inspect if you want insurance.

"Say....isn't that a reloading press? Please show me where you store your powder."

You nailed it. It's the unexpected search that causes the problem. You are out smoke alarm goes off fire department enters finds violation. Insurance Inspector comes in to home for policy renewal inspection.

The big one is the one chance out of a million something happend. If a fire fighter gets injured because of an ERD violation your looking at Criminal Charges for unsafe storage and criminal negligence,

I don't make the rules I just posted them. Don't give the government any cause to give you grief.
