SASS has had a teritorial governor vote on a couple rule changes; here they are: Voting Item #1 Any unloaded firearm that falls, regardless of whether it breaks the 170 will be a SDQ. SASS will remove the verbiage surrounding a gun that "slips and falls"/breaking the 170 vs. not breaking the 170. The rule with variables is no longer applicable- it dates back to when props and staging were less reliable. ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF THIS CHANGE? RESULTS: YES: 236 (88.7%) Change the rule to state that any firearm that falls is a SDQ. (Unless actual prop failure occurs) NO: 30 (11.27%) Leave all the variables in place. Voting Item #2 A cocked revolver re-holstered with unfired round(s) is currently a SDQ. A re-holstered revolver with unfired rounds, cocked and released can be incredibly dangerous. The proposed change up for vote is changing the penalty for a cocked revolver re-holstered with unfired round(s) remaining leaving the shooters hand will be changed to a MATCH DQ. RESULTS: YES: 222 (83.4%) I am in favor of changing the penalty to a MDQ. NO: 44 (16.5%) Leave the penalty as a SDQ.
