I have a box of ammo at my house. By "box" I mean 4 filing cabinets full.
I was thinking the same thing.
If the bomb squad was sent out for one box of ammo, they'd probably send out the National Guard if they saw what I store in my place.

My neighbor suggested burning them in the woodstove, but I dropped them off at the PD instead, being nothing I could use.
Would have been cool if I'd seen the post saying the ammo was really hand grenades. I can see people getting a little nervous finding a box of grenades unexpectedly.
The story was originally reported it as the Globe did headline and all.
I found a similar 'box' in my home after buying it about 15 years ago.
Frighteningly similar to a situation I myself lived through. I found a similar 'box' in my home after buying it about 15 years ago. Worse yet, the ammo was designed to be used in a handgun. My neighbor suggested burning them in the woodstove, but I dropped them off at the PD instead, being nothing I could use.
I don't get it. The story says they found some WWII grenades. I would call the bomb squad too if I found some grenades!

BOSTON -- The bomb squad was called to a Lawrence home on Thursday after grenades were found.
A man selling his deceased parents 28 Lynn St. home found the World War II-era grenades inside.
The neighborhood was evacuated as a precaution.
Evacuating the neighborhood seems like a little bit of an overkill, but, yeah, finding grenades is a little different from finding small arms ammunition.
BOSTON -- The bomb squad was called to a Lawrence home on Thursday after a box of ammunition was found.
The box was found at a home on Lynn Street in Lawrence.
It is unclear if the ammunition -- believed to date back to World War II -- is live, according to NewsCenter 5's Gail Huff.
