Does a room count as a locked closet?
Half joking, as I know that there is no concrete answer.
The only court case that I'm aware of wrt a "room as a container" ended in conviction.

yesDoes keeping ammo in it's original box AND putting it into a sealed ammo can with a padlock make it all legal?

Any final answer on these?

You probably mean gestapo?It's fine if you put it in a safe or other locked container
Assuming it's full if reloads.For other ammo it's a little dicey, Honestly I don't think the original container Portion if this law is something proletariat would get jammed up over.
And I would argue this box meets or exceeds the specs of the
Original container.

Guys, just so we're clear, I totally understand wanting to comply with the letter of the law to ensure you don't get jammed up by the proletariat. However, I would just like to note I personally, in 8 years in LE, have never seen ANYONE ever get charged for violation of ammo storage.
And I don't know of ANY cop who knows of the "orginal container provision", or even whether cops (as opposed to the FD or MSP Troopers assigned to the Fire Marshall's office) have the power to enforce 527 CMR's.
I'm so confused after reading this thread. I have all my ammo locked up but had no idea about the need for an ammo permit?? I live in Boston so going to the FC seems a bit much... I'm also curious about having loaded magazines in a locked safe from reading through all of this and the links all ammo has to be in it's original box?

You don't need an ammo storage permit unless you need to store in excess of the un-permitted max, whose limits I don't recall.
