    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

    Two bullets.

    Any more than that and it is called hoarding.

    I take it you're very, very guilty of this funk? I know I am (dear family, if you put me on that damned show I will lock you in a closet with a very angry kitten- it's all I really can get my hands on these days)...

    There is something somewhere, but I cannot find it, and it has a limit to the amount of ammo in a residential home. I think it was 5,000 total rounds or the equivalent in components or a combination of both.
    I am but a grasshopper in google-Fu, hopefully one of you masters can enlighten us novices...

    Byte, oh Byte, Grand Poohbah of Google-Fu where are you ?

    NFPA99 covers it but for commercial places. If you call all you get is "Well how much ammo do you have?" They all talk about regulations but never have anything in print.

    My county referred me to the Fire dept and when I asked I got the "How much do you have?" like it matters. Then the guy wanted to know my address.

    think it was 5,000 total rounds or the equivalent in components or a combination of both.
    That's funny right there.

    We have talked about this and it may help for El Paso county.

    How much storage space do you have, and money to work with? I'd consider those to be your limitations. Wife's opinions nonwithstanding.....

    this isn't russia--i always here of these obscure numeric limits--its sorta like the old "3 moves to get to the gun" drivel about getting to the gun in your glove box--lots of old wives tell it, but nobody's got it written down anywhere in a statute.

    I think its more or less based on the storage loacation of your home and the foundation type.

    Dont quote me but I thing for reinforced slab concrete on bedrock its 500 Million, or 73 tons per sq meter.


    but then what do I know
