I doubt that the site is blacklisted, it is more likely that your IT have a system that looks for keywords in the pages and someone has just defaulted to blocking weapons. I suspect people looking at weapons is an American thing. I'd ask them to relax it.

Joking apart there could be a lot of places that do block it because it has been given the category 'Personal Weapons'.
This was probably done automatically and I suppose you could ask IT or someone to remove that category but whether they can or not is another matter.
This website is also blocked by our filter: http://www.wedgnock.co.uk/home.php
But that is fine because it is this: http://www.wedgnock.co.uk/
Which is a rifle and pistol club!
Ho hum....

Chris,
Our firewall (which I admit is pretty strict) does not like your home page, see image below (if you can't see it let me know and I will email it to you).
I can soft unblock it (which means my IT now knows I have looked at your site!) and I think the problem is the different types of weapons etc in your site type list to search on (although the first time it has blocked one like this that I know of).
Perhaps you need a new front page before showing the site type list option to search on?
This may mean other content blockers, perhaps some ISPs may block it depending on settings.
Welcome to Friday 13th!
Ben
