Merlin Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Even though it makes little sense to me since muzzle loading guns use essentially the same BP as Pyrotechnics apparently one must have a compliant storage magazine if the intent of use is for pyrotechnics. I am not a welder or much of a handyman at all so my question is does anyone know if a gun safe such as purchased at Walmart would meet the requirements? I know Cabela's has a "box" they sell which looks pretty lame for powder storage. Honestly at $300 a fire and theft resistant gun safe dedicated to bp storage would seem to make a lot more sense. I know some pyros use converted job boxes but if purchased new they cost a much as a gun safe and would probably require some modification for the locks of which I am not capable.Please any advice appreciated. By the way I never have more than 10 lbs of bp in any form intended for pyrotechnics. Edited August 6, 2014 by Merlin
dagabu Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I am in no way condoning such behavior in any way shape or form BUT if you put that powder into #1 cans that once had BP in them (flea market)... You DO NOT have to store BP in its original container in a magazine if the total weight is below #50*. *My state and city specifies #25 being the max, check with your fire chief for clarification. Understand that ALL of the BP is for Canons or Black Powder weapons... Hint, Hint... Even a single gram of pyrotechnic BP (stuff you made) has to be stored in a type 4 magazine and must adhere to all Orange Book distancing etc.
