I've been saying it all along....they'll restrict ammo if they can't restrict guns.

 

Yes, but how is this in any way enforceable without no-knock warrants and door to door searches?

So, what, someone's house catches fire, the department finds out they have 10,001 rounds of ammo, and they fine the homeowner? I just don't get it. Totally bogus.

 

So glad I don't live in CO!!!

Denver is particularly bad, the rest of the state is not so bad

 

brutal.... i know SOME people that would consider 10K rounds as being dangerous LOW for inventory.

 

There's others who think that enough is the ability to get more.

Not exactly for me. I'll give some that I have to others so they can get their own.

Y'all know that in building code speak, Group R means residential, right? There is no change in the meaning of that ordinance, it's just been reworded in a way that most people understand what it means now.

It was bad as 3306.4.3, and is just as bad as 5606.4.4...

 

That's the comment another member made at a different forum I'm on. I failed to do that research.

Regardless, that's ridiculous to think they can limit the amount in a household merely by writing a "code" like that.

 

Thats fine 10,000 in my house, and Ill put 10,000 each in both of my sheds.
Problem solved.

 

You guys know there are similar fire codes in NC regarding smokeless as well as black powder... Though I think it would be a good idea to show those fellows the SAAMI video showing that ammunition poses no explosive threat to firefighters.

 

Yep. Just get a 'pop' without a barrel to direct the force.

Black powder is another issue, tho...it's a Class C explosive whereas smokeless is classified as flammable.

 

Yea stashes of black powder are completely different animal... I believe the fire code in NC is for 20lbs of smokeless powder. Which, isn't that much if you ask me.

 

I believe the fire code in NC is for 20lbs of smokeless powder.

20 pounds? I've got that much stuck in the vacuum cleaner bag!

I kid, I kid... I cleaned out the vacuum bag and sold it as Varget on armslist months ago.

 

That's International fire code, which has been adopted by a whole damned lot of US cities, not just Denver.

More than 1 pound???? UPS delivered 50 pounds of Swiss to my door and left it on the stoop with no signature!

 

"A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." ~ George Washington

 

10k primers? Does that include rim fire?

If not then I'm safe (sort of).

Magazines? You mean like this one?

Wow...you guys are tin foil types...I only have 1x20 round box of .22lr for hunting purpose only! 1/2 box of shotgun shells ....all of those are locked up far away from my single shots! Whoever needs more than two guns and 30 rounds of ammo are just paranoid unibomber types!
