BEST SURVIVAL HANDGUN IS THE GLOCK 17 OR 19


WELCOME TO THE NO BS ZONE OF TEDDY JACOBSON

I WILL NEVER COMMENT ON ANY OTHER FORUM OR BLOGGER ABOUT GUNS PERIOD. MOST PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR CONCEPT OF REALITY. ALL GUNS BREAK IN DUE TIME, YOU FEED IT GARBAGE AND DO NOT MAINTAIN OR CLEAN IT PROPERLY THEY WILL CAUSE YOU A PROBLEM EVENTUALLY. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE EAT "GARBAGE" SOME GET SICK AND SOME DIE.

THE "MORONS" THAT POST WHAT THEY OWN AND PROVIDE AND POST PICTURES AND DETAILS OF THE QUANTITY OF THEIR SUPPLIES ARE "INSANE" AS THESE FORUMS ARE MONITORED AND READ THROUGH OUT THE WORLD. YOU ARE TELLING THE WORLD WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHERE TO COME AND THEY CAN FIND YOU THROUGH YOUR "IP" ADDRESS. HAVE IT YOUR WAY BUT DON'T EVER SAY YOU WERE NEVER WARNED.

AS A GENERAL RULE I HAVE FOUND THE GLOCK 17 OR 19 THE VERY BEST CHOICE FOR A SURVIVAL HANDGUN, IF YOU DO NOT LIKE WHAT I AM SAYING THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WORLD OF NO BS. I DO NOT FORCE YOU TO COME HERE, I FORGOT MORE THAN THESE GENIUSES EVER KNEW.

MOST BRAND NEW GLOCK PISTOLS WHOLESALE FOR $440.00. WITH ADVANCED BULLET TECHNOLOGY THAT IS AVAILABLE THIS 9mm IS ALL YOU WILL EVER NEED. DO NOT BELIEVE THE BS THAT YOU CAN NOT STOP AN ATTACKER UNLESS YOU HAVE A 45 ACP CARTRIDGE, FBI STATISTICS PROVE OTHERWISE.

BESIDES HAVING 9mm AMMUNITION IS IDEAL FOR BARTER IN THESE "END OF DAYS"

I AM SUPER MAD AT THE STUPIDITY OUT THERE. PEOPLE THAT HAD OLDER GLOCK 21's HAD A PROBLEM WITH CHIPPED EXTRACTORS SO THE FACTORY INCLINED THE BREECH FACE FIVE DEGREES AND INSTALLED A NEW UPDATED EXTRACTOR TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. WITH THE HIGH COST OF AMMUNITION YOU ARE BETTER OFF USING A 9mm GLOCK USING THE "NEW" FEDERAL EXPANDING FULL METAL JACKET AMMO.

FEDERAL AND CCI ARE NOW OWNED BY THE VERY SAME CONGLOMERATE COMPANY. I STOCK SOME GLOCK PARTS BUT I VERY SELDOM NEED TO REPLACE ANYTHING. THESE DAMN KNOW IT ALLS ARE FULL OF S**T. THE ONLY TIME I EVER SAW A BAD TRIGGER BAR WAS WHEN SOME HALF ASS GUNSMITH GOT STONE HAPPY WITH HIS FAVORITE CHINESE TWO DOLLAR STONE AND IT WENT FULLY AUTO. I REPLACED THE TRIGGER BAR ASSEMBLY AND THAT SOLVED THAT.

YOU ARE NOT TO USE A NEW YORK TRIGGER WITH AN 8 LB. CONNECTOR.

MANY OF THE INTERNAL PARTS ARE NICKLE PLATED IN THE CURRENT GLOCK PISTOLS, NOW I DID NOT SAY THE EXTRACTOR WAS NICKLE PLATED SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT GENIUS. A GREAT DEAL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU CARE FOR A HANDGUN, A GREAT DEAL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU FEED IT, USING CHEAP AMMUNITION WITH STEEL CASES IS A SURE WAY TO CHIP YOUR EXTRACTOR BUT YOU THINK YOU ARE SAVING MONEY, YOU ARE SAVING NOTHING BUT RISKING YOUR LIFE IF IT GOES INOPERABLE.

I LOVE THESE GUYS THAT SHOOT A GUN EVERY WEEK DAY IN AND DAY OUT AND THINK THEY HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. I SELDOM SHOOT A HANDGUN AT THIS TIME BUT I SEE THE RESULTS OF THE GARBAGE THAT PEOPLE FEED THEM AND THE FACT THAT VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO EVEN CLEAN A GUN AND OIL IT USING A PREMIUM LUBRICATION. MY LUBRICATION OF CHOICE IS "MILITEC"...period

I HAVE CHANGED CLEANERS BECAUSE OF THE INFERIOR VALVE SYSTEM ON THE LPS MICRO X PRODUCTS, I NOW HAVE SWITCHED OVER TO BIRCHWOOD CASEY SYNTHETIC SAFE AEROSOLS. THIS NEW PRODUCT WORKS FINE ON ANY POLYMER.

MY CARRY GLOCK HAS A HARD CHROMED SLIDE THAT WAS DONE BY VIRGIL TRIPP. IT HAS X/S SIGHTS ON IT ALONG WITH A NEW YORK TRIGGER. I USE EITHER A WOLFF HARDENED STEEL GUIDE ROD OR I BUY A HARDENED STEEL GUIDE ROD FROM GEORGE SMITH OF EGW IN PENN. THERE IS NO BS HERE, I LIE TO NO ONE. I DECEIVE NO ONE. MY "19" CARRIES 16 CARTRIDGES OF PURE "HELL" & YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL GUIDE ROD ASSEMBLY FOR THE 17 OR 19.

I AIRBRUSHED A COATING OF "CERAKOTE" ON THE BARREL. I SELDOM EVER FIRE IT BUT WHEN I NEED IT, I ASSURE YOU IT WILL GO BANG INSTEAD OF CLICK. MY CARTRIDGES ALL HAVE SEALED PRIMERS, I USED BRIGHT RED PREMIUM NAIL POLISH. IT IS CARRIED IN A PREMIUM MILT SPARKS HOLSTER.

I CAN CHANGE THE EXTRACTOR IN A GLOCK PISTOL IN 30 SECONDS, YOU TELL ME IF YOU CAN DO THAT WITH YOUR SURVIVAL HANDGUN. IF YOU HAVE A SA "XD" YOU WILL NEED MORE THAN KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT IN A HURRY.

I NO LONGER BUY 40 CALIBER HANDGUNS BECAUSE THIS HIGH PRESSURE ROUND IS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF ALL BRANDS OF PISTOLS. I FIND THIS CALIBER NOT AS ACCURATE AS THE 9mm.

STOCKING UP ON 45 ACP AMMUNITION AT THIS POINT IN TIME HAS SOME MAJOR DRAWBACKS AS THE PRICE IS OUT OF SIGHT AND ITS VERY HEAVY AND HARDER TO HIDE AND CONCEAL LARGE QUANTITIES. A GOOD 9mm WITH WELL PLACED SHOTS WILL MAKE YOU JUST AS DEAD AND THE "TOE TAG" IS THE VERY SAME.

FOR THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT I SAY MY PHONE NUMBER IS 281 565 6977. MY JOB IS TO KEEP MY CUSTOMERS ALIVE SO THAT THEY CAN GO HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES AT NIGHT. MOST OF MY WORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MILITARY AND SPECIAL OPS AND FEDERAL AND STATE PEOPLE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED OTHER THAN ME GETTING OLD AND DOING MUCH LESS WORK.

I NEVER GIVE DETAILS ABOUT WHO I DID WHAT FOR, ITS NO ONES BUSINESS. I AM THE ONLY ONE IN NORTH AMERICA THAT STILL ONLY DOES TRIGGER WORK PERIOD. THAT IS ALL I HAVE EVER DONE AND I HAVE NO MAJOR MACHINE SHOP, I USE MY HANDS AND CUSTOM JIGS WHICH I MAY SELL TO BROWNELLS.

I HAVE WORKED ON MOST EVERY MAJOR BRAND OF CARRY GUN AND EVEN THOUGH I LIKE SOME OF THE OTHERS, THERE IS NO BETTER SURVIVAL PISTOL THAN THE GLOCK 17 OR 19. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE WHAT I AM SAYING ITS JUST TOO BAD, THIS IS MY OPINION BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE.

BEING LEFT HANDED MY FAVORITE CARRY GUN IS THE HK P7 M8 BUT ITS VERY HARD TO BUY PARTS FOR THIS PISTOL AND NOW THAT IT IS NO LONGER MADE AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PARTS PROBLEM I NOW SELDOM EVER CARRY IT. BEING A REALIST I WILL STAY WITH THE GLOCK PISTOL FOR SURVIVAL.

I WORK ON MANY HANDGUNS THAT I DO NOT LIKE BUT I AM NOT THE OWNER AND I CAN NOT TELL EVERYONE WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR NEEDS OR MAINLY BUDGET. I AM WRITING THIS COMMENTARY BECAUSE I AM PISSED OFF ABOUT THESE IGNORANT BASTARDS THAT ATTACK ME, HERES MY PHONE NUMBER AGAIN 281 565 6977.

Radioactive devices disappearing at alarming rate

Updated Wed. Jul. 4 2007 8:57 AM ET

CTV.ca News Staff

Radioactive devices -- some of which have the potential to be used in terrorist attacks -- have gone missing in alarming numbers in Canada over the past five years.

A new database compiled by The Canadian Press shows that the devices, which are used in everything from medical research to measuring oil wells, are becoming a favoured target of thieves.

At least 76 have gone missing in Canada over the past five years -- disappearing from construction sites, specialized tool boxes, and generally growing legs and walking away.

Some of the devices could be used in a "dirty bomb," where conventional explosives are used to detonate nuclear material, spreading the contamination over a wide area, said Alan Bell, a security and international terrorism expert from Globe Risk Security Holdings.

He told CTV Newsnet on Thursday that the problem isn't new, but it has gained new attention as a result of the CP report.

"It's come to the fore over the last couple of days but it has always been there. We've had this problem. It's only a matter of time before terrorists use a dirty bomb process to attack the world," Bell said.

The database compiled by CP tracks the rate at which the devices have gone missing in recent years.

It points to dozens of cases where hazardous materials have gone missing, been stolen or lost in a variety of mishaps.

Of the 76, 35 were stolen, three others were found in a ditch beside a road, in a dump and in a farmer's field.

Dozens were still unaccounted for at last count.

Bell said there is a lack of streamlining among the different federal departments responsible for nuclear materials and a single agency should be set up to track the transportation of nuclear materials.

"But one of the biggest problems is yes, we do keep track of them to the best of our ability, but things fall through the cracks as they always do," Bell said.

The CP report comes in the wake of the release of a federal study that said the detonation of a small dirty bomb near Toronto's CN Tower would send radiation out over a four kilometre area, causing economic devastation and slamming the city's emergency medical services.

Bell said such reports could actually help motivate terrorists to strike the city.

"I was surprised. Why tell the terrorists where to place the device? This is the ramifications of the weather, this is the area that's contaminated or affected. I thought it was irresponsible to do that."

He said terror attacks around the world have become more sophisticated in recent months, and "it's only a matter of time before they gravitate to using nuclear material in their bomb box."

OSHA THREATENS GUN INDUSTRY

Proposed OSHA Regulation Threatens
Firearm and Ammunition Industry

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the government agency charged with assuring the safety and health of America's workers, is proposing a regulatory rule affecting the manufacturing, transportation and storage of small arms ammunition, primers and smokeless propellants.

As written, the proposed rule would force the closure of nearly all ammunition manufacturers and force the cost of small arms ammunition to skyrocket beyond what the market could bear—essentially collapsing our industry. This is not an exaggeration. The cost to comply with the proposed rule for the ammunition industry, including manufacturer, wholesale distributors and retailers, will be massive and easily exceed $100 million. For example, ammunition and smokeless propellant manufacturers would have to shut down and evacuate a factory when a thunderstorm approached and customers would not be allowed within 50 feet of any ammunition (displayed or otherwise stored) without first being searched for matches or lighters.

NSSF and SAAMI have already had a preliminary meeting with OSHA officials to begin the process of explaining to them the major problems this proposed rule presents for all levels of the firearms and ammunition industry. Furthermore, NSSF and SAAMI are each seeking a 60 day extension of the public comment period (currently scheduled to expire July 12).

NSSF is urging all retailers to contact OSHA directly and request a 60-day extension of the public comment period. Retailers should inform OSHA that the proposed rule constitutes a "significant regulatory action" as defined in Executive Order 12866 (1993) Section 3(f)(1) in that it will clearly "adversely affect in a material way" the retail sector of the firearms and ammunition industry, productivity, competition and jobs and that the annual compliance cost for all retailers of ammunition will far exceed $100 million dollars.

WEAPONS OF CHOICE
Work rules could blow up ammunition supplies
OSHA considering new requirements for handling 'explosives'

Posted: July 7, 2007
1:00 a.m. Eastern


© 2007 WorldNetDaily.com

The federal government is considering a series of new rules that would apply to workplaces where "explosives" are handled, giving rise to a concern that the restrictions could be used to limit – or eliminate – reasonable access to firearms ammunition.

Among those raising the issue is the National Rifle Association, which is publicizing a request that firearms owners express their opinion on the issue before a deadline of July 12.

"The proposed rule indiscriminately treats ammunition, powder and primers as 'explosives,'" the NRA said in a published statement, which noted the plan would:

  • Prohibit possession of firearms in commercial "facilities containing explosives"—an obvious problem for your local gun store.
  • Require evacuation of all "facilities containing explosives"—even your local Wal-Mart—during any electrical storm.
  • Prohibit smoking within 50 feet of "facilities containing explosives."

The proposal by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration "would have a dramatic effect on the storage and transportation of ammunition and handloading components such as primers or black and smokeless powder," the group said.

OSHA's proposal would "revise" its standards for "explosives and blasting agents" to include ammunition.

"This revision … is intended to enhance the protections provided to employees engaged in the manufacture, storage, sale, transportation, handling, and use of explosives," the federal agency said.

The NRA noted that it is important to note the rule – at this point – still is "proposed."

"So there's still time for concerned citizens to speak out before OSHA issues its final rule. The National Rifle Association, National Shooting Sports Foundation, and Sport Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute will all be commenting on these proposed regulations, based on the severe effect these regulations (if finalized) would have on the availability of ammunition and reloading supplies to safe and responsible shooters," the NRA said.

One WND reader described the situation as the "backdoor elimination of firearms," noting that Sens. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Barack Obama, D-Minn., all are on the OSHA oversight committee.

"If you want to keep your guns we had better raise more hell than the amnesty bill caught," the writer said. "Make sure your congressman hears about this or you won't have any ammo."

The NRA said those who are interested in commenting should go to the regulations.gov website and do a search for Docket Number OSHA-2007-0032.

Another reader suggested contacting firearms industry connections and ask them to contact the Department of Defense.

"My reasoning being if the arms industry loses its civilian market that will have a very large negative financial impact on them. This could negatively impact their ability to adequately meet the needs of DOD. So, DOD would have a very vested interest in telling OSHA to put a lid on it," he wrote.

The NRA even provided a sample letter for concerned citizens to complete and forward.

I am writing in strong opposition to OSHA's proposed rules on "explosives," which go far beyond regulating true explosives. These proposed rules would impose severe restrictions on the transportation and storage of small arms ammunition—both complete cartridges and handloading components such as black and smokeless powder, primers, and percussion caps. These restrictions go far beyond existing transportation and fire protection regulations.

As a person who uses ammunition and components, I am very concerned that these regulations will have a serious effect on my ability to obtain these products. OSHA's proposed rules would impose restrictions that very few gun stores, sporting goods stores, or ammunition dealers could comply with. (Prohibiting firearms in stores that sell ammunition, for example, is absurd—but would be required under the proposed rule.)

The issue was sparked by a petition several years ago from the Institute of Makers of Explosives and the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute to revise OSHA standards.

That requested a number of changes, including the exclusion of the manufacturers of explosives from various requirements that were duplicative.

"In response …, OSHA carefully reviewed the requirements," and concluded that "workplace hazards associated with explosives activities pose significant risks to employees."

Thus, the new list of rules. As substantiation, OSHA cited the April 16, 1947, explosion of the SS Grandcamp, which was docked in Texas City, Texas, when its cargo full of ammonium nitrate blew up. The explosion killed 581 and injured 5,000 others.

One of the more esoteric requirements would be for employers "to ensure that adequate precautions are taken to prevent sources of induced current, such as … snow storms, … from causing the accidental detonation of electric blasting caps."

A vast range of other requirements would address building requirements, distances between storage areas, vehicles used to haul any such material, and even the distance (two feet) required between shelves for small arms ammunition.

Gun advocates say it's just another in a long list of attacks on the American right to bear arms, provided under the 2nd Amendment.

As WND reported just a week earlier, the government has begun using paperwork errors as small as the abbreviation of a city name to shut down some of the nation's longest-serving gun shops.

Officials said while as recently as 15 or 20 years ago, there were 250,000 licensed gun dealers in the United States, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives today lists only 108,381

OSHA TO REGULATE AMMO AND COMPONENTS

Default Osha to regulate ammo and components

Below is pasted the proposed Osha regulations. These are regulations and have the force of law but it doesn't go through congress. Basically, they want to define ammunition, powder and primers as explosives and them regulate any business that deals with them in the name of worker safety. This, I suppose, is because of all the accidents, explosions and worker deaths due to exploding ammo. This could make it quite expensive to deal in any of these items.

Comments and bold are by someone else.

New OSHA Rulemaking-Black & Smokeless Powder, Primers, Ammo

Click on the SUBMIT button

OSHA has proposed rules that may adversely affect the transportation of black and smokeless powder, primers and small arms ammunition, and may affect prices and availability. Below are some sections of the proposed rule (55 PDF pages) that I felt had a direct impact on shooters.

Comments in italics are mine. Bolding is also mine.

Explosive. This term would be defined to mean any device, or liquid
or solid chemical compound or mixture, the primary or common purpose of
which is to function by explosion. The term ``explosive'' would be
defined to include all material included as a Class 1 explosive by DOT
in accordance with 49 CFR chapter I. The term would include, but would
not be limited to, dynamite, black powder, pellet powders, detonators,
blasting agents, initiating explosives, blasting caps, safety fuse,
fuse lighters, fuse igniters, squibs, cordeau detonant fuse,
instantaneous fuse, igniter cord, igniters, pyrotechnics, special
industrial explosive materials, small arms ammunition, small arms
ammunition primers, smokeless propellant
, cartridges for propellant-
actuated power devices, and cartridges for industrial guns.

Paragraph (c)(1)(ii) would require the employer to ensure that only
persons trained in accordance with paragraph (j) of this section handle
or use explosives. Loading and unloading of explosives are examples of
handling, and blasting of slag pockets is an example of the use of
explosives. This is a new requirement that reinforces the importance of
training for all employees engaged in the handling and use of
explosives.

Paragraph (c)(1)(vii) would require the employer to ensure that no
person is allowed to enter facilities containing explosives, or to
transport, handle, or use explosives while under the influence of
intoxicating liquors, narcotics, or other drugs that may cause the
person to act in an unsafe manner in the workplace. Due to safety
considerations, OSHA is proposing that such persons be completely
restricted from access to a facility where explosives are manufactured
or stored as well as restricting them from the handling and
transportation of explosives.
This would appear to require some sort of drug testing to be in compliance.

Paragraph (c)(1)(ix) would require the employer to ensure that no
flammable cleaning solvents are present in facilities containing
explosives except where authorized by the employer and where their
presence does not endanger the safety of employees. This is a new
requirement and is based on a recommendation in the Petition (Ex. 2-1).
Due to their potential to create a fire and thus cause an explosion, it
is generally not safe to have flammable cleaning solvents in facilities
containing explosives.

Paragraph (c)(2)(i) would require the employer to ensure that the
primary electrical supply to any part of the facility (e.g., building,
loading dock, etc.) containing explosives can be disconnected at a safe
remote location away from that part of the facility. A safe remote
location from a part of the facility containing explosives is a
location far enough away to ensure that, if all the explosives in that
part of the facility detonated, a person at the remote location would
not be injured by the explosion. In determining what a safe remote
location is, the employer will need to consider factors such as the
type and amount of explosives present.
This is a new requirement
Would this even be possible in a small gunshop?

Proposed paragraph (c)(2)(ii) deals with safety hazards caused by
electrical storms. During the approach and progress of an electrical
storm, paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(A) would require the employer to ensure
that all explosive manufacturing and blasting operations are suspended,
and paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(B) would require the employer to ensure that
employees located in or near facilities containing explosives, or in
blast sites, are withdrawn immediately to a safe remote location.
A
safe remote location in this case would be a location far enough away
from all the explosives in the facility or blast site so that a person
would not be injured if there were an explosion. These proposed
requirements are based on therequirements in existing paragraph (e)(1)(vii)(a) which requires
employers to remove employees from the blasting area during the
approach and progress of an electrical storm. However, proposed
paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(A) has been expanded to require the suspension of
explosive manufacturing operations and proposed paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(B)
also requires the immediate withdrawal of employees located near
explosives. This reduces the time the employees are exposed to a
potential hazard. The expansion of the existing requirement is in
recognition that an electrical storm may be hazardous to employees at
facilities and blast sites containing explosives and that employees
need to be kept a safe distance away from a potential explosion. This
is standard practice in the industry and is consistent with a
recommendation in the Petition (Ex. 2-1).

Static electricity as a potential source of ignition is probably
the single greatest concern for facilities and blast sites containing
explosives. The Petition (Ex. 2-1) recommends new requirements for
static electricity protection that would require any new static
electricity protection system to comply with NFPA 77, Static
Electricity (Ex. 2-7). However, it recommended limiting the application
of the requirements only to systems installed after the effective date
of the new standard and would not require an existing manufacturing
facility to install a new system or modify an existing system to meet
the requirements of NFPA 77. IME informed OSHA that certain explosives
are not static-sensitive and do not require protection. IME further
argues that, since explosives manufacturing is subject to the
requirements of OSHA's PSM standard at Sec. 1910.119, areas in an
explosives manufacturing facility where static electricity protection
systems may be needed should already have been identified through the
process hazard analysis requirements of the PSM standard, and adequate
safeguards should have been instituted in accordance with the PSM
standard.
OSHA believes that static electricity protection systems can be
important safety features for facilities containing explosives. The
Agency considered proposing a requirement in paragraph (c) that would
require the employer to ensure that all facilities containing
explosives have appropriate and effective static electricity protection
systems, with suggested methods of compliance found in NFPA 77. The
Agency decided not to propose such language because it lacked
sufficient data and information on the types and effectiveness of
static electricity protection systems. OSHA is seeking additional
information on these issues through public comments.

The hazards of flame, matches, and spark producing devices are
dealt with in proposed paragraph (c)(3)(iii)(A) by requiring the
employer to ensure that no open flames, matches, or spark producing
devices are located within 50 feet of explosives or facilities
containing explosives. As mentioned earlier, ``facilities containing
explosives'' refers to any building on a site where explosives are
manufactured, handled or stored.
Stripsearch customers?

Issue #4: OSHA seeks specific comments on the impact proposed
paragraph (c)(3)(iii) would have on the storage and retail sale of
small arms ammunition, small arms primers, and smokeless propellants.
Do open flames, matches, or spark producing devices create a hazard
when located within 50 feet of small arms ammunition, small arms
primers, or smokeless propellants, or facilities containing these
products? Can employers involved in the storage or retail sale of small
arms ammunition, small arms primers, or smokeless propellants prevent
all open flames, matches, or spark producing devices from coming within
50 feet of these products or facilities containing these products? If
not, why not? Should proposed paragraph (c)(3)(iii) use a protective
distance other than 50 feet and, if so, what distance should it be and
why? Should OSHA exclude small arms ammunition, small arms primers, and
smokeless propellants from the requirements of proposed paragraph
(c)(3)(iii)?

Proposed paragraph (c)(3)(iii)(C) would require the employer to
ensure that no person carries firearms, ammunition, or similar articles
in facilities containing explosives
No armed employees in gunshops? No legally-armed customers? How about cops?

Issue #9: Should OSHA require lightning protection systems for any
facility that contains ammonium nitrate or explosives? What would these
systems cost?

Proposed paragraph (e)(1) addresses general provisions associated
with the transportation of explosives. Proposed paragraph (e)(1)(i)
would require the employer to ensure that no employee smokes, carries
matches or any other flame-producing device, or carries any firearms or
cartridges (except firearms and cartridges required to be carried by
guards) while in, or within 25 feet (7.63m) of, a vehicle containing
explosives.

Paragraph (e)(1)(iii) would require the employer to ensure that
explosives are not transferred from one vehicle to another without
informing local fire and police departments. This will help to ensure
that the transfer is performed in a safe manner. In addition, a
competent person must supervise the transfer of explosives. This is
applicable to all transfer work whether it is done within private
facilities or on public highways.
UPS, Fed-ex & DHL will just love this.

Proposed paragraph (h)(2) would require the employer to ensure that
small arms ammunition is separated from flammable liquids, flammable
solids, and oxidizing materials by a fire barrier wall with at least a
1-hour fire resistance rating or by a distance of at least 25 feet.
Small gunshops better get bigger.

Paragraph (h)(3)(i)(B) would require the employer to ensure that no
more than 20 pounds of smokeless propellants, in containers not to
exceed 1 pound, are displayed in a commercial establishment.

Paragraph (h)(4)(i)(B) would require the employer to ensure that
small arms ammunition primers be separated from flammable liquids,
flammable solids, and oxidizing materials by a fire barrier wall with
at least a 1-hour fire resistance rating or by a distance of at least
25 feet.

Paragraph (h)(4)(i)(C) would require the employer to ensure that no
more than 10,000 small arms primers be displayed in a commercial
establishment.

Issue #21: Proposed paragraphs (h)(3)(i)(B) and (h)(4)(i)(C) place
restrictions on the quantity of smokeless propellants and small arms
primers, respectively, that can be displayed in commercial
establishments. Should OSHA further clarify the quantity limitations
for smokeless propellants and small arms primers to allow multiple
displays in commercial establishments? If so, what quantities should be
allowed and should the quantities be based on the size of the
commercial establishment? Should there be a minimum distance between
displays to ensure employee safety? Should the same limitations placed
on commercial establishments also apply to gun shows?

Paragraph (j) Training. Proposed paragraph (j) is new and contains
proposed training requirements for employees in the explosives
industry.
This proposes training and re-training commensurate with each employee's duties and the requisite record-keeping.

Secret Document: U.S. Fears Terror 'Spectacular' Planned
Official Cites Resemblance to Warnings and Intelligence Before 9/11

ABC | July 2, 2007
BRIAN ROSS, RHONDA SCHWARTZ and RICHARD ESPOSITO

A secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, warns that al Qaeda is planning a terror "spectacular" this summer, according to a senior official with access to the document.

"This is reminiscent of the warnings and intelligence we were getting in the summer of 2001," the official told ABCNews.com.

U.S. officials have kept the information secret, and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said today on ABC News' "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that the United States did not have "have any specific credible evidence that there's an attack focused on the United States at this point.

Colin Powell leaks real reason for SSN

The American Public

I was watching Fox News Sunday this morning, 06/17/01, being hosted in the first segment by Tony Snow. The lead off guest was Colin Powell, the US Secretary of State. Mr. Powell gave an excellent recitation relevant to foreign affair matters.

Mr. Powell during the entire interview was very confident, and spoke without hesitation throughout the entire interview excluding for a one second period, after one specific statement made by him as he was talking about the Russian peoples. When he realized the consequences of making this disclosure indirectly to the American public, he froze for a second, his eyes rolled back as he realized what he had said, and then he continued without further pause for the rest of the interview.

In my lifetime, I have never sent out to others a post relevant to a quote I heard while watching a news program. In this case, the significance of what was said in the flow of truth coming from Mr. Powell, is a statement that establishes the primary reality of intent per the politics and operative structure coming from government in this country. I had to immediately share what I had heard with others.

Mr. Powell was discussing Mr. Bush's trip to Europe, and was at a point in his recitation covering certain concerns regarding Russia, and Russia being requested to cooperate with the United States to track down lost Nuclear materials and scientists who were unaccounted for after the break up of Russia, that now may be in the hands of, or in the case of the missing scientists, working for adversaries of the USA.

The quote from Mr. Powell, per the Russian Scientists that every American "NEEDS" to hear immediately is as follows:

[Colin Powell] - "Finding the Russian scientists may be a problem being that Russia does not have a Social Security System, as here in America, that allows us to MONITOR, TRACK DOWN and CAPTURE an American citizen."

Please pass this on to every one that you know. The significance of Mr. Powell's statement is profound, and essential to be heard by all in this country. I thank Mr. Powell for inadvertently being honest towards the underlying intent of the US Government, reaffirmed by his admission.

Yours Truly, Walter J. Burien, Jr.

IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE WHAT IS COMING YOU MUST BUY AND READ THIS BOOK

go to www.survivalblog.com


My first novel was titled Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse. This is the expanded edition of my novel Triple Ought (re-titled TEOTWAWKI in an interim edition). Huntington House published a paperback edition of my novel from November of 1998 to January of 2005. Sadly, Huntington House went out of business in early 2005. The good news is that the book recently went back into print with a new publisher, XLibris.

Patriots is a novel about a socioeconomic collapse in the near future. It was described by one reviewer as a "survival manual fairly neatly dressed as fiction." There are so many useful details included that most people find themselves taking notes as they read it.

There was some confusion about the various editions of the novel. Some people have written asking if Patriots is a sequel to Triple Ought or TEOTWAWKI. It isn't. Rather, it is a thoroughly fleshed-out edition of the same story line. There is a wealth of new technical detail in Patriots, and even some new characters. Much of the material was suggested by readers from all around the globe who had read one the draft shareware editions. I greatly appreciate their input!
