Energetics training classes in PA in June
For those who like energetics, there are some training classes in June in Washington County, PA. See the link below for more info. They are not
cheap, but thought people here might be interested.

Are these workshops available for the general public or do some restrictions apply, for example minimum age of 21, no criminal records etc. ?

Per the class:
WCMG LLC has opened up their High Explosive Law Enforcement Training to the general public with no previous experience required. All attendees must be
18+ years old with a valid driver license, be able to pass a Federal Background Check, and be a US Citizen.

There used to be a few courses like that, but they have been slowly disappearing. I think the School of Mines still has a summer class for
interested students to weed out the ones that will faint if they see dynamite or hear loud noises, or are afraid of caves. Likely not a good mining
candidate. After handling Azides, trimethylaluminun, and organolithiums, I would think of C4 as a safe material, compared to most people who would
be terrified to handle it.

C4 is an astonishingly stable explosive. It is designed so that it can be even shot at with small arms fire and still not explode.
The only danger with C4 is it is kinda toxic on skin contact and you need to be careful. The other thing is that there were some soldiers who cut
pieces of C4 for use... and then didn't properly clean their knives and used them to eat afterward, thus poisoning themselves. But it is an easily
avoidable scenario.
