Ammo sales at the Phoenix gun show
virtually eliminated?

Heads up to all who support gun show freedom and gun rights everywhere.
Ammo sales at the Phoenix gun show this weekend (July 6 & 7) and at all future shows may be virtually eliminated if the Arizona State Fire Marshall Inspectors office has its way.
They have announced that only a total of 25,000 primers or loaded rounds will be allowed in the building at one time, claiming the fire code restriction on the number of primers under one roof applies. However, he is grossly mis-interpreting the regulation which specifically exempts complete, loaded ammunition from the restriction on primers. (See exemption 4 of Article 77, Section 7701 of the Uniform Fire Code)
As anyone who has attended a gun show will understand, 25,000 rounds total for a show is the same as nothing. One vendor brings several hundred thousand rounds.
Due to a request from the AZ Govorner's office, the Crossroads show this weekend July 6&7 will proceed as before without the new restriction, however the Fire Marshall Inspectors office will be conducting multiple ammunition inventories each day to determine future gun show regulations.
Please contact the Deputy State Fire Marshall Inspector and respectfully request that the Fire Marshalls office investigate the difference between a primer and a loaded cartridge and apply the code AS IT IS WRITTEN - exempting loaded ammo.
Contact info is as follows:
Arizona Deputy State Fire Inspector Steve Alley
99 E. Virginia, Suite 100
Phoenix, AZ 85004
602-255-4964 office
602-255-4961 fax
Inspector Melle (Asst Deputy State Fire Inspector, supposedly the one who initiated this draconian restriction, with support of his boss, Steve Alley) He is at the same address and phone number.
When you call or fax please be courteous and request that the law be followed and the code applied as written, allowing the sale of small arms ammunition.
Thank you. Defend your right to own a firearm, let your voice be heard by joining groups such as the NRA. Also check out groups like Gun Owners of America and JPFO. And write your congressmen.
