However, a $10 plastic ammo can isn't that expensive. |

In NJ it is a 3rd degree felony to own ammo and store it on a shelf if you are not a gun shop. Leave it on the bedroom floor, closet floor, bathroom floor, kitchen floor, basement floor, on top of the toilet, garage floor or bottom drawer of your refrigerator. Within 2 weeks of purchasing ammo in NJ, the state police will knock on your door and demand to see where you store your ammo. Make sure it's not stored on a shelf of any kind whatsoever. They will shoot your dog, beat your children and have their way with your wife.

| In all seriousness. I purchased a Jobox to hold my ammunition. I did the whole closet, then storage cabinet thing. In the end, a Jobox (they sell many sizes), is quite secure because of the weight when filled. I ended up putting mine in the basement, but a smaller one would fit in a closet or storage room. |

Quoted: not a fed crime, but it could be depending on town/state codes. Ie it could be breaking a fire ord of a nanny city, or if a kid shoots himself with shelf ammo you might have some liability. You need to ask a more local source. i'm new to the whole gun world...I have about 400 rounds of ammo and i was wondering if its a crime, or does it matter if i just store ammo on the shelf of my closet?? does it really need to be in special storage? |

You have got to be kidding me...... The people allow this? |
| dont bother with the plastic ammo cans, i haver several from cabelas and 1 of the smaller plano plastic ammo cans. They are almost worthless when loaded with any ammo as when you pick them up the plastic lid flexes losing a seal. I only keep some MRE's in 2 of the plastic ones with water purification and camelbak's in the other. Go with some steel ammo cans, i just got 8 light use(good condition) ones off ebay for 120 shipped free. I saw ealier aimsurplus had them in stock for 14.50 i believe brand new (plus shipping). |
| From a technical viewpoint (since this is a tech forum) anywhere that is climate controlled (consistent cool temp and humidity) you're GTG. The legal aspects of NJ - I have no clue, but the ARFCOM typical "send it to me for proper disposal" could possibly apply. |
