| For Shipman WASHINGTON, District of Columbia USA -- District Court Judge Reggie B. Walton for the District of Columbia today issued an order finding in favor of the Tripoli Rocketry Association and National Association of Rocketry vs. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The decision followed a status hearing this past Friday in Washington. Walton's order granted a summary judgment motion in favor of the plaintiffs TRA and NAR, denied the summary judgment motion of BATFE, and vacated the classification of Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant (APCP) as an explosive. |

| #1 This is wrong, nowhere do the agent(s) responsible get ANYTHING, not even a name mentioned in the findings, so they'll just feel free to do it again. Reminds me when I heard on the radio of a tornado bearing down on "Continental Motors" (Where I worked then) and sounded the alarm, not only was I chewed out because "I wasn't authorized to sound the alarm", but they then misclassed Radios as "Audio-visual Devices" and banned them from the plant. Their stock was 40 bucks at the time, and is 2 now, so to hell with them. |
