Guys. If I might ask a question a little off this path. Does anyone know how much powder a person can have in their home. Thanks for any insite. I have looked online but no hard answer. I'm in Texas if it matters. Thanks

It's guided by a simple formula Kirk, basically an iteration of the volume of a sphere: V=4/3 x F2 x pi x R3. V will just equal pounds of powder allowed. F2 is the square footage of shelf space you have to work with. R= "resistance" from generally the wife or officialdom of whatever ilk. So, you just measure your shelf space, make an approximation on the R factor and, after some simple math, voila, you come up with a number vastly in your favor no matter how you look at it because it will always come out to more than you have room for... You're welcome!

for most - there are multiple state and local (sometimes fire departments) regulations -so finding it all on line would be near impossible

BUT

since you live in Texas - you don't have enough

A good friend had a fire in his garage. He had three or four 8# jugs - the fire department didn't care as long as it wasn't black powder.

Quite right. The can of gasoline for your lawn mower and weed whacker, or a gallon of lacquer thinner, its FAR more dangerous/explosive than 8 lbs. of smokeless powder...
