Fire code limits 10k rds per dwelling without additional permitting I believe.

I went to the local fire dept. they never heard of the permit for additional storage. Told me to go to the police station. At the police station they told me to check the ATF website.
I tried to follow the law
(e) Exempt quantities of small arms ammunition, primers, smokeless propellants and black powder shall be stored in original containers and such containers shall be stored in a locked cabinet, closet or box when not in use.
Since this was bumped only a month ago.. I'm curious as to how you all read this..
Is it a locked cabinet, [unlocked] closet or [unlocked] box when not in use?
OR
Is it a locked cabinet, locked closet or locked box when not in use?
Maxxum2012 is absolutely correct with what he posted.
There's probably not one Fire Chief in fifty that knows or cares about this crap.
I like when peopel reserect old threads like this. I didn't know about the casings. Looks like I need to hide them from the boogey man now - I didn't realize that they were so dangerous.Can't find it now but I seem to remember reading somewhere that empty casings are considered ammunition and have to be locked up just like live ammo. Is this true? And if so, where in MGL does it say that?

I don't have the specific cite, but components (bullets, cases, and MAYBE primers, powder) are considered ammunition and need to be treated as such according to state law.
The way things are today I teach my student to lock everything up at home,and in the car.
