Proper labeling your home for ammo storage????

scouser said:

Small arms ammuntion is ORM-D, and therefore exempt from being placarded on a commercial vehicle. Doesn't matter how much there is, ORM-D is exempt. It isn't determined by the total weight in this case, instead it's the individual amount in each round.

If you want to start arguing that people should placard their homes then I suggest everyone starts placarding their vehicles because of the fuel in their gas tank, I mean have you seen how dangerous that stuff is if it gets set alight? [/sarcasm]

Small arms ammunition is a Class C explosive, not a 1.4 explosive.

As such, as I remember, it requires no placarding for shipping, unless maybe in truckload quantities.

No special markings should be required for storage.

In a house fire, it goes off like popcorn.

Report my post on this thread to the Moderator or Admin if you feel that I violated a forum rule.

A residential dwelling vs. a commercial building where ammo is stored?

now i agree w/the other posters...it is nobody's business on how much 'stuff' i store within my RESIDENTIAL building(s). I personally do not care if the FD 'would appreciate' knowing this and there is certainly no NFP criteria to notify the Fire Marshall of stores maintained within your residence...
