Okay, maybe I've missed something in all the discussions about igniters, so bear with me.
Item 1: New rules regarding APCP spell out numbers about how much APCP can be stored, what permits are required, etc. etc.
Item 2: The relevant law as written includes igniters along with other items as "explosives" or "low explosives" or whatever, and therefore they are "regulated".
Item 3: It appears that manufacturing igniters requires a LEMP, and selling them requires a LEDP.
Question 1: Does possession of igniters require a LEUP?
Question 2: What are the limits regarding igniters? Rules have hard numbers to them; less than this much is okay, more than this much requires storage or permits or whatever. So what are the regulations (quantities, storage means, etc.) regarding igniters?
The only thing I've heard so far is that igniters probably should be stored in a magazine like the motors/reloads are, and possibly a separate magazine, depending whom you ask. I don't remember seeing anything about numbers of grams or numbers of igniters or anything else. Or have the regulations which "regulate" igniters not been written (yet)?
This is NOT a discussion about whether igniters or motors or APCP or anything else should be regulated, just a query as to what the regulations or rules are for igniters. This is also NOT a discussion concerning HAZMAT fees, LEMPs, or selling or shipping igniters; I'm only talking about possession of igniters.
Please try to post replies that address the questions asked without getting into those debates that get threads either partially or completely deleted. I'd really like to get some facts here.
