Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Good grief. So I have a Ruger GP100 with a six inch barrel. Beast of a handgun and quite cool. Bought it used years ago; no case. Thinking it'd be nice to have a proper case for the beastie, I went to Ruger's website to see if they sell 'em. They do! Sweet!! I'll get myself one! Then I read the product description: Quote Detailed Description Large, high impact plastic case for all revolvers with barrel lengths 6 1/2" to 7 1/2". Grip area accommodates a Hogue grip. Genuine Ruger® Factory Accessory This product is not currently available for sale to California customers due to requirements associated with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65*). Aarrgghh...!! But that's okay. It may require a bit of "civil disobedience," but I will have one. Note: NOT blaming Ruger. *For any unfamiliar, California Prop 65 is a law requiring that any product containing any substance that could cause cancer must be labeled accordingly... from pesticides to coffee mugs to shampoo to truck transmissions. And many food products! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 I came across this on another site's Prop 65 discussion.... Quote We were at a conference about this and asked a lawyer from CA why it was necessary to comply when we make industrial instrumentation and the only way someone could be exposed to enough of the chemical used as a flame retardant in our plastic parts was to lick the case of our instrument for 4+ hours a day for several years. With a completely straight face he told us it was to protect any citizen that might actually lick our instrument for 4+ hours a day for years.... So there ya have it!

JD Lud Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 People that sell stuff put it in bags with the label on in so you don’t miss anything. California has bounty hunters that can collect if they find people not following law. If everything has a label...no one really know what is it isn’t harmful but California isn’t worried about that.

I received a shipment of solid steel brackets the other day with the prop. 65 label on them. The ONLY thing that I can find that might fit the label is the label itself!! Oh! WAIT!
