Finally...efforts to get BP reclassified !!

The bad news is they requested our opinions but didn't provide a unique Email address to respond...they only posted their snail-mail address.

I went to their main site contact and sent them an Email explaining this was the 21st century...if they really wanted large volumes of input they needed to provide an Email address in their announcement request...in this day and age virtually nobody is going to go to the trouble of pen, paper, stamps, envelopes, etc.

Anyhow, take a look...I think what Goex is doing to try and help the BP industry...themselves...and us, is great.

This is really good news! I agree on the internet argument, some companies just dont see the light!

dont know what happened to it but they used to have a forum on thier site

 

[Birddog6]

Well, yes, if you could call it a forum. No moderation, constant porno & spam junk coming onto it, most people got tired of the crap there & just left......... :shake:

 

[Rafsob]

Sent them an email and gave them an ear full. Hope it works. This is long over due. Not that the jack booted thugs will lend us an ear. :shake:

That's what printers are for - hard copies. :wink:

Maybe Goex doesn't consider email HC for black powder? :hmm:

Glad to see them taking a step no matter how though. I'm in. :thumbsup:

 

[Dausener]

Well, they asked for a letter and that's what I sent them. I hope this problem gets fixed. This is long over due. :2 Basset

Thanks for letting us know about this. It's way overdue. I don't think it'll have an effect, considering the political climate, but I'm working up a letter as we speak. It has hurt the sport, dealers, and end users, to no positive benefit whatsoever. I hope we can get the reclassification!

I'd be optimistic that it would have a positive impact and breathe some fresh life into the traditional style MLs.

And there would no longer be a need to have to use the expensive BP subs and put up with the marketing hype...which may mean that all the BP sub manufacturer's may gang up and fight the efforts of Goex.

Sure would be nice to buy Goex anywhere without hazmat fees...

This is a good thing but we don't need to argue among our selves about the e-mail clause and miss the point of the project. We need to take advantage of it asap as for writing a letter if that's what they want then write them a short note answering there questions, but do not let the no e-mail thing cause you to fail in responding.

roundball: I'm putting the stamp on the envelope right now. thanx for sharing this with us.

I just sent them an e-mail. Thanks, Roundball!!!!!

 

[roundball]

It'll really be great if they can actually start a big enough movement and get BP reclassified...

 

[Mulebrain]

Thanks for the post!

As you stated, they really need to post an email address. If they need input they really need to make it easy for people to provide that input.

Last week, I contacted GOEX to see how the Forum could help. I just got off the phone with Dan Gallivan, Vice President, GOEX, Inc. We discussed the implementation of an organized letter writing campaign, aimed at the legislators and I'll get back to you shortly with the details.

GOEX has discussed your offer of conducting a letter writing campaign with our representative in Washington. It was agreed to take you up on your offer to carry out this program since we believe it is an excellent means to convey to Washington the importance of the black powder shooting sports to a sizable part of the sporting community.

Please contact me to discuss how we can work together in setting up this campaign.

Sincerely,

Dan Gallivan
Vice President
