Written Response Requested
regarding
Reclassification of Black Powder

GOEX, Inc. is beginning a campaign to reclassify black powder, from explosive category 1.1 to the same hazard and handling class as smokeless powder, class 1.3.

This change would affect transportation and storage rules. The Bureau of Alchohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) closely regulates class 1.1 product. Class 1.3 material is regulated to assure safe handling, but does not fall under close BATFE scrutiny, record keeping, or review.

We have established a clear scientific basis that black powder, especially sporting powders, are no more hazardous than smokeless powder, and should be regulated similarly. What we need to establish next is what extra attention from the BATFE and other transport and handling differences has cost the consumer, the dealer, and the distributor.

To do this, we need you to tell us - has the 1.1 classification of black powder imposed hardship, or increased your cost? Especially, we need to hear from anyone that has given up a license, or had their federal license revoked due to black powder regulations or actions of the BATFE related to handling black powder. Would you expect to see any benefits from this proposed change?

Again, we would appreciate hearing from consumers, dealers and distributors of black powder so we can forward your thoughts to Washington.

You do not need our Free Appraisal Form to send your gun. But you must enclose your name, address, zip code, and a list of contents. Please list any loose molds, ramrods, sights, or other separate items that we should find. You would be amazed at the number of guns which arrive with no name, no address, no letter enclosed. The 1968 Gun Control Act exempts all muzzle loading guns, all antique guns, and many replicas of later black powder guns. We are a licensed Federal Firearms dealer, but you do not need a copy of our license, except when transfering modern cartridge firearms. If you encounter a UPS shipping clerk who refuses service, record that person's name, location, hours, and phone number. Call our Shipping Manager, Ms. Linda Rachel, at 763-633-2500. She will have your regional UPS Representative correct the clerk's error. UPS will provide service! The Post Office will accept long guns, but will not accept hand guns. Insure items only for your best estimate of actual value, no more. You may ship guns in the factory foam carton, or in a cardboard box, packed sausage tight with wadded newspaper. Allow at least two inches of padding at each end. Cartons are often dropped on one end.

If you have decided the best (lowest) price you require, please tell us. We will appraise your gun, and confirm your evaluation.
