    Storing Ammo

    I keep all of my ammo in the garage in surplus ammo boxes. Do you think it's any safer in a fire?
    If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous!
    If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid about?

      Was storage in a fire the only other option?

              I store it at Walmart and just pick up on way to range.
              Visit my Channel "Steel On Target" on YouTube and subscribe. I post gun videos reg regularly.

                I would be more worried about the gas in your cars tank.

                  What does it take to get a serious answer here?

                      I'll fight the urge to respond as friends above did, and assume you meant '.. in case of a fire.' So, yes, probably a little, but live ammunition in a fire is not a great hazard. If they heat up enough they might light off one or two at a time, and since the casing is so much lighter than the bullet it's the casing that would take off and the bullet would hardly move. If they're in metal ammo cans, my bet is you might get a bunch of dents in the sides and that's about it.

                        Ammo + Fire = Not Safe Anywhere? http://www.americanhunter.org/blogs/...-catches-fire/ Not too bad either though.

                        With that being said, it's probably safer in the garage than it is in your living room or bedroom.

                          Always ask yourself whether or not your question can be answered in a silly manner.

                          Watch this then decide where you want to store your ammo
