NES is slipping during the coronavirus hysteria. No one asking for pictures, if she's hot, or if she's single.
Wait, I have the answer!
When it becomes uncountable, then you have enough...............
When you'd have the take the day off to count it all, then you have enough.............
When you have to track it with an excel spreadsheet, then you have enough...............
What's the penalty for violating fire safety code?
Yes I have friends that are on the Department and got me in to see the Chief & he said no idea and to just Ammo onMy friend @mikelawtown I believe went to his local FD and told him not to worry about it. I could be mistaken......
If your stash doesn't have it's own gravitational pull, it's not enough ammo bro!If you don't need to reinforce your floor/foundation then you don't have enough.
Not even close.13K? Still not enough!
per Caliber13k. that's probably just average for NES
I wonder when there will be a news story about a floor collapsing resulting in cases of ammo falling into "the apartment below." Maura would be on scene in front of the house of horrors being interviewed for the evening news. Hint: Don't live in 2nd floor apartment LOLIf you don't need to reinforce your floor/foundation then you don't have enough.
527 CMR 1.00: MASSACHUSETTS COMPREHENSIVE FIRE SAFETY CODE regulates the amount of ammunition and components you are allowed to possess. Without a special permit, you can store:
Not more than 10,000 rounds of rimfire ammunition
Not more than 10,000 rounds of centerfire rifle/pistol ammunition
Not more than 5,000 rounds of shotgun ammunition
Not more than 9999 primers
Up to (but less than) 16 pounds of smokeless powder
Up to (but less than) 2 pounds of black powder
Guess it's a good thing I don't live in Massachusetts.
hypothetically speaking i would say your friend is "short" on ammo.Hypothetically speaking, how much ammo do you guys figure you’re sitting on? Reason I ask is I have a friend who’s been shooting for +20 years. She did an inventory for the first time the other day and she’s sitting on 13k total. 3k x 5.56. 2 k x 7.62x51. 3k x 9mm. 3k x 7.62x39. Etc... is this so wrong/crazy??
I usually stop and pick up a box of whatever is on sale on the way to the range. When that's gone I'm done until I want to practice again....say...six months or year so.

Store or distribution center?I counted my 22lr yesterday. I'm stocked almost as good as Walmart was at their best stocked

It’s not wrong and it’s not crazy...and it’s definitely not enough, lol!Hypothetically speaking, how much ammo do you guys figure you’re sitting on?

With a special permit from the fire department, storage volume increases to:
527 CMR 1.00 also stipulates that an ammunition storage permit can be obtained from the head of the local fire department. With a storage permit, you can store:
* Total of all ammunition cannot exceed 100,000 rounds
- Up to 30,000 rounds of rimfire ammunition*
- Up to 50,000 rounds of centerfire rifle/pistol ammunition*
- Up to 50,000 rounds of shotgun ammunition*
- Not more than 9999 primers
- Not more than 47 pounds of smokeless powder
- Not more than 5 pounds of black powder
This is basically a guaranteed recipe for despair.
ETA: the sad thing is I still know people from years ago that still do this, then every time the market gets disrupted, they get their ass handed to them (or can't shoot) etc. Even having laid in only 1000 rounds as a "do not touch unless panic" reserve would have saved their ass from overprices/rape/shortages.
Our town charges $15 for this special permit. I only have it because of the black powder storage requirement ....allegedly.
I did this last year. Ammo is heavy. I just cut three 2x4's long enough to reach from the floor joists to the basement floor. I cut them about a 1/4" to long and used a sledge to pound them into place. I store in a lockable cabinet about the size of a refrigerator. Imagine a fridge, filled with lead. It's heavy, I noticed the floor sagging and said Oh shit.If you don't need to reinforce your floor/foundation then you don't have enough.
