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!

LOL Good one Richard. LOL That made my day. That was about what I got off the internet. lol Well now I know Im legal. Wife lives on the other side of town so Im good.

Happy Hunting

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...

It sure looks like we are all on the same page on this one. Thanks. Have a good weekend.
