How safe is it to keep large amounts of ammunition in a house? If there was a fire doesn’t that mean that pretty much there would be allot of rounds going off flying in every direction? Also I’m pretty sure the insurance company would not cover you if you had that amount of ammo in your house and it caused damage during a fire.

I did some research and found this while looking around

"No permit for the storage and sale of ammunition in excess of 10,000 small arms cartridges shall be issued for any premises as follows:
A. Buildings which are occupied in any part as hotels, apartments, dwellings, schools, places of public amusement or assembly, excepting armories of the State and United States militia;"

That’s part of the law in Massachusetts i guess. Link here http://www.goal.org/misc/faq/powder.html I know that’s not the law where I live but I’m wondering why they would make such a law other than for safety measures.



The thing is I have more than 10k rounds at my house... is that safe? Any idea on what to do if storing it is not safe? And no shooting it is not an option… I could probably shoot for a week straight before I even put a dent in my ammo supply…
