That was then, this is now.
It's been that way for half a century, and there is no indication that it's going to change.
That was then, this is now.
As it should be, but this old dog is sleeping with one eye open.
Maybe your right, hope you are.Did I miss the memo where a bill to outlaw blackpowder was sitting on the presidents desk waiting to be signed ?
I think you guys are getting all lathered up for not.
Agreed, Rioting is not the answer.Yes, we should all sleep with one eye open, but there is no need to start a riot in the streets.
Same in my state. I've done it. Twenty-five pounds of Goex and a UPS man that cared not a whit about the haz labels on the box.Guys.....I think in Pa. you can still order case lots of powder delivered to your door.
I remember those days around here, maybe it is all supply and demand although maybe its slowly been a soft kill. Maybe its the advancements in airguns. Regardless it is a reality around here,No, I didn't. I only keep a few lbs at any one time. I store it in my basement and prefer not to keep large amounts for safety reasons.
I hadnt considered the fact that for many people it's not easy to purchase black powder. For that I apologize. I guess I'm lucky in that in my state or at least my part of Pa, muzzleloading is popular, and our local couple gun stores all carry black powder..
The black powder supply is the topic, but it is controlled and regulated by entities that we are afraid as a group to even speak of, no unfounded fear there. I guess if we remain quiet and do not talk about it, everything will remain the same from now on. I Doubt it.Hmm, I thought the topic was black powder supply ?
I just removed several posts in this thread because they all brought politics up.
Better to be ready than have to get that way.Both Carbon, and jaeger make excellent points. BP could eventually go the way of the Dodo and die of natural causes, mainly neglect. That said, we should acknowledge the current climate: never before seen events, and appetites of many to utterly destroy what constitutionalists take for granted: the status quo. Regulations, restrictions, zoning laws, taxes, are all traditional ways to nibble away at the "rights" of gunners, BP and its aficionados. The nibblers are rapidly being supplanted by other, more ravenous types. This is all going to happen faster than than Columbus vacating his namesake city. We are in historic times, uncharted waters. Better to be prepared than not.
They're hoping you'll say that, that way they can blame you for the next civil war. Fact is, the battle lines were drawn long before we were born; once the Fedgov became infiltrated/corrupted enough to disarm American citizens and otherwise ignore the Constitution, the fight was begun. It's not a matter of your cold dead fingers; it's a matter of your own household being your enemies. Divide and conquer, looks more likely every day. As John Paul Jones famously said, " I have not yet begun to fight". Neither have the patriots of this country. I hope Nikita Khrushchev was wrong about defeating America from within, but it looks more possible every day. All that is necessary for evil to win is for good people to do nothing. Just like they are doing now. In retrospect, perhaps it is a matter of prying something from your children's cold dead minds.Out of my cold dead hands.
Path of less resistanceMany businesses can't store black powder due to fire codes. Others don't want the hassle of storage and permits.
Safety is controlled by you. Be safe and enjoy the real stuff.I think I'm going to go back on my own rule and am going down to my local BP retailer this morning to see if that last can of 2fg is still there. If it's not I'll try for some 3fg. Going to need some of that when my .32 cal is finished anyway.
