Proposal of a new range rule to prohibit the detonating of any non-firearm explosive device
as a primary explosion or the causing of a secondary explosion, without the express permission of the NCCSC board;
aerosol cans and equivalent excepted.
In short, no shooting at or igniting anything that might explode without the express permission of the NCCSC board;
aerosol cans and equivalent excepted. An example would be a fertilzer bomb that is shot at to cause the fetilizer
to detonate which would be a secondary explosion. Use of a fuse to detonate said bomb would be a an example of a primary
dotnation.
