Tannerite Addresses Warehouse-destroying Fire Rumors In Press Release
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 1/12/2018 | AP

Posted on 01/12/2018 11:15:31 AM PST by w1n1

As most of our wonderful supporters and customers now know our company has suffered a devastating fire at our factory which resulted in a total loss on early Monday morning, 01/08/18.

We would like to thank the Pleasant Hill fire, Goshen fire, Springfield fire, South Lane fire, Lowell fire, Dexter fire, McKenzie fire, Mohawk fire and Coburg fire personnel that did a stellar job at saving what they could save. We are happy that none of them were injured in responding to this large fire, and that no one else was injured.

Needless to say with this fire now just a little over forty-eight hours old, we are still in initial recovery mode, still getting questions answered, and very much working hard to get initial solutions in place.

We would like to clear up some misinformation that was reported in the media and on social media. One, we have no evidence at this time that this was arson or insurance fraud. Two, there was no explosion as there were no explosives on the premises. While there were some 1.4g special effects fireworks from another company, that have no special storage requirements, waiting to be shipped out that were set off by the fire; these had nothing to do with target making components. Last, that company was not operating illegally. Read the rest of the Tannerite story here.

I wouldn’t want to live anywhere near a warehouse owned by a company called Tannerite.

Do you not understand the simple concept of Binary explosives?

No I didn’t but now that I checked it on Wikipedia, I’ll be happy to live upstairs from ACME Tannerite Company.

Youtube informs me that the value of Tannerite is primarily in the area of blowing up hogs, and I am OK with that.

Tannerite is a very fun product!

I have had a lot of fun with tannerites, and it is harmless as long as it is in the hands of people who enjoy shooting sports like myself.

As such, I can also see the potential danger that a terrorist could exploit, but is that worth the loss in freedom? And is any freedom worth keeping if it can be used for evil???

Time will tell, and I doubt it.
Freedom always trumps oppressive laws and tyranny.
