At the other post I was on, the question was brought up about having label or certain fees for storing X amount of ammo.
First, I do not have all the answers, but I have some...
By Federal law... if you are carrying... transporting 1,001 lbs or more of a hazard, you must place a DOT hazard sign on your vehical. For instance, if you are driving with 1,001 lbs or more of ammo, the card would be a 1.4 Explosion Card.
I know that buildings with speical hazards have the NFPA 704 "dimaond" with numbers and colors.
The question is about storing it at home....
Well, first you have to check with;
Home assoication rules of your area (if you have one)
laws about storing items at your home through your city hall.
Never know, you could be fined if you have X amount of ammo or lbs of ammo. This can be a real problem if you reload ammo. In my opinion I'm think if you have in storage say 50 or even 100 lbs of gun powder or more. Without proper ventilation, you are asking for an explosion. and if it caused by your storage of gun power... your home owner insurance isn't going to cover for that.
Also, check with your insurance agent, see do you need a speical policy for having ammo at he home.
As an example, if you wanted to start a home business of making fire works... after getting the license etc... you would have to have certain equipment to help prevent a fire/ explosion there. This would be the same difference.
But as for just storing ammo... I would think after you have so many rounds, the city you live in might want you to have it stored in a special mag/ locker. They (city you live in) may limit your ammo amount to have in a single home.
Just saying... its something worth finding out.
