Thread: First responder's notification about stored ammo

    First responder's notification about stored ammo

    Not sure where to post this. For those of you who store considerable amounts of ammo at home, do you post any signs or notifications to let first responders not to go into a hazard area? I am specifically referring to warning firefighters in a case of house fire.

    i do not have any written signs of where i store my ammo in the house. the big safe and sealed metal containers next to it may or may not be a giveaway but i dont advertise it.

    define "considerable amounts of ammo".

    The Mythbusters placed a .22 caliber, .44 caliber, and .50 caliber bullet inside an oven. All of the bullets exploded once the oven was hot enough, but none of them were able to penetrate the oven. Without a gun barrel to contain and direct the propellant gases, the bullets did not develop enough speed to pierce the glass or steel portions of the oven. The shell casings actually caused more damage than the bullets.

    From the mythbustersresults.com website...

    I believe also that there was a industry manufacture that had a warehouse fire where they stocked ammo and no one got hurt either.

    "one of those tales you hear."

    Long story short I wouldn't tell anyone where you keep what.
