What is the limit on ammo?

[Fred_G]

But, a loaded bullet is not a primmer. Suspect that is for components, and not sure why they even have laws on that.

Can we get a law to reduce the BS bestowed on us from the gubment?

Probably because your local FD would probably not enjoy rushing into your burning house/garage if they knew it was stuffed with 50k of primers and 100# of titegroup etc sitting on your reloading bench!

There's only 2 instances where you have too much ammo. If your swimming or on fire.

Don't know of any law, but if you're stockpiling a metric shitton of ammo or powder/primers, I sure as hell wouldn't let my homeowners insurance agent know about it!

Depends on who your agent is! Some of us would just be jealous...

Well, my friend who is a cop came to my house for thanksgiving dinner, and being that we're both into firearms, I showed him my gun collection. While showing him, he noticed how much ammo I had and jokingly said I should be the local academy/walmart for ammo. He told me there was a limit to how much ammo a person could have in his home. I looked around but couldnt really find an exact answer on how much ammo you are allowed to own in your home by law. So, what is the limit?

I believe there is a limit on how much Black Powder you can have on hand, I'm not sure on smokeless powder. I have never heard of a limit on ammo.

Actually there is an NFPA video about 10 minutes or so long on ammo. And unless its loaded in a weapon, or stored in a container other than the original packaging it is not all that dangerous. They determined that a firefighter in normal bunker gear would be adequately protected.

If the LEO in question is truly a friend, or even if he is not, take some time to educate him. Cops are human. Humans are imperfect.

Well over 100K rounds of ammo burned... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SlOXowwC4c

Cops are just as ignorant about guns as the general population....sometimes more so!

I'll take swimming or on fire bullshite for a thousand Alex.

As of earlier this year you cannot legally mix more than 5 pounds (or is it 3?) of binary exploding targets (tannerite, etc) at a time in louisiana.

That's the next politician's we need to run out of office.

All I can say is....

 

[nolaradio]

Stop showing off your stockpile... then there will be no issue.
There's a reason why I try not to discuss exactly what I have (guns and ammunition) online or post pictures. I don't need to impress my Facebook friends with pictures of myself posing with firearms.

 

[Kraut]

The only ammo limits I know of are how many you can fit in the cylinder/magazine of whatever weapon you are using.

 

[ENVPMBR Shooter]

Oh snap...... I am out of compliance.

 

[Glockrunner]

Do you have too much when, after 3 hours of inventorying, you give up?

That depends, were you putting a scratch for each time you used all of your fingers and toes or were you just doing fingers?
