    Do you keep ammo in your safe

    I know that the price is going up but is it worth the space? it seems a midrange safe is about $50-$75 a cubic foot. also I wonder if in case of a fire, it can cause things to get a lot worse inside the safe?

    My safe has barely enough room for the few firearms I have, if I wanted a safe for all my ammo, well.. that's what garages are for.

      Yes I do, but less than a 100 rounds. a few magazines are loaded. Last year I made an effort to move the bulk of it to another secure container for long term storage.

        I have more than one safe.

        I dont keep a bulk of ammo in my main safe but in its own safe that will hold about 20 cases of .308.

          I keep ammo in the safe so in case of fire, the volunteer fire fighters can have some peace of mind. It's supposed to be good for an hour of 1800F, and that ought to be enough. I value the firefighters over any and all of my guns.

            I don't have a safe yet so I keep my ammo in ammo cans. Hope to get a safe this year.

                I only keep a few rounds in my safe - the expensive stuff.

                Remember, outside of a well sealed container, rounds don't shoot off with deadly force in fire. They just sorta pop... no fragmentation that'd penetrate a firefighter's gear. I will however say that I don't know what something with LOADS of powder, such as 50bmg, would do...

                    Ammo Cans

                    I keep ammo in .50 and .30 cal ammo cans. I've had water, storage, and organizational problems in my garage. Well labeled ammo cans seem to do the trick. Additionally, ammo is much safer (in the case of a fire) in an ammo can. After all our gumit spent millions developing them.

                    Anyone out there an Insurance agent?

                    Are we violating our policies if we keep more than a specified amount of loaded ammo or gunpowder and primers in our houses?. What if there was a fire and later after the investigtion the insurance appraiser finds in the fire report that there was lots and lots of gunpowder, primers, and ammunition? Would they be able to deny a claim?

                        I have a young cousin, which is the reason I bought a safe. It's a Sentry .....something, but it's DOJ approved. No ammo inside because there's no room.

                          No safe yet, but I plan on keeping ammo in it. Helps weigh the safe down more if you don't bolt it down.

                            If you keep important documentation in your safe/rsc/lockbox you probably shouldn't keep anything to add fuel to the fire.

                              I keep most of it in a fire file like this one.
