Are there any state or federal limits on the amount of ammo you can have?

I was talking with a friend and he said there were limits in place. I don't believe him, but thought I'd ask here...

Thanks,



sam

I sure hope not! And, no, there isn't in WA. However, I believe that CA has limits and maybe NY or CT do, too

I'm incorrect about CA and I don't see anything in the SAFE Act, either.

reading various laws and regs on smartgunlaws.whatever....  they tried setting up a program that limited the amount of ammunition that an individual could posses but that never came to law...some states require various information to purchase ammo (california, new york) 

but as of right now there isn't anything that I've read or heard about.

Anyone ever hear of insurance implications? I can just envision the fine print: your claim has been denied due to the fact that you exceeded the ammunition storage limits...

Yes, you can hit the limit of $5,000 or $10,000 and I think they include ammo in there. You could get a separate policy to cove rthe rest.

I was thinking more along the lines of, say your house caught fire, the they ammo lit off (big explosion) and they denied your claim.

Can they deny your claim is a gasoline can or a propane bottle explode?

Unless you have kegs full of powder, that would be one hotter-than-hell house fire. Ammo that is in the chamber of a handgun is off for a fun ride, but the rest of it would only burst. Recall that ammo fires because its chambered into a tightly packed metal tube giving the bullet only one place to separate and travel from the casing.  Most will split like popcorn if it gets hot enough but you'd have to have a huge pile of powder in one place for there to be a huge explosion.
