Howe much ammo are you allowed to store?

[mutt]

I've got it all in locked 50 cal ammo cans for now. It's enough to keep my kids out of it which is my primary concern. Not a huge anti-theft deterrent but I'm not concerned about that as much as safety. Thanks for the advice guys and have a great Christmas.

Only 5k? Pfffttt, neophyte!

I have all mine in a metal shelved cabinet that locks.

I would store my ammo in a "job box" you can lock it and if it is full of ammo it can't be moved. also they usually have recessed padlocks that you can't get to, to cut them off.

you could line it with a fiber board type insulation to make it more fire resistant

I would have 3/4 of the box be for ammo, and then i would have 1/4 of the space for powder with a custom plywood box on the inside to hold the powder.

also would be sweet for loaded magazine storage
or accessories that are somewhat valuable

heck bolt that thing to the floor in the basement

the picture is amazing and so is the rest of the photo album it is part of

I don't even have 5 % of the ammo this guy does

I just roll up 10 rounds in each pair of socks.

I'd thought of that before too, glad to see someone did it! Once I'd bought a bunch of .30 and .50 steel surplus ammo cans to put my stuff in, that kinda killed the toolbox idea, I'd have to have a HUGE one. I'm leaning now towards building a locking cabinet in the garage to keep it in. That way, when I want to go shooting, I'll just grab the ammo cans that I want and go. I won't have to tote them up from the basement, that gets to be a real drag when you wanna go shoot 10 different calibers.

Like all the others have said, no laws or ordinances about sotring ammo. I built a wooden shelving for my ammo and also I have my SHTF grab buckets of ammo all in ammo cans for easy grab and go if I have to head to the mountains. Those totes hold around 5k rounds each. If I have ot head to the mountains due to zombies or Russians, I will have 10k rounds of all my ammo for hunting and defense.

Pics of my ammo cabinet to come when I get home

How come no one has suggested "However much your wife says is okay!" yet?
