AFT'e new "rule" that you have to report how much gun powder you have in your home to the local fire department.

Mythbusters did an episode about propane tanks exploding in a fire. It's not very likely to happen and odds of being killed by a propane tank explosion is like 1 in 35 million.

Sorry, I should have clarified that statement, it's not the explosion that gets you, it's the hot flaming jet that scares the snot out of you when they purge. Turnouts are meant to keep water out, but they also keep water in if you know what I mean.

Obviously it's time to turn any powder you own into loaded ammo so the firemarshal isn't involved.

What if you just lie if asked, just like every politician in most states and DC do?Are they going to just enter your house and search

With the way things are going and how people get scared and bend over backwards to obey the powers that be, I don't see that being very far off.
We keep on creeping closer and closer to Orwells predictions.

Smokeless powder and less than 50 pounds of black powder is exempt from federal explosive storage regulations.
Nobody is coming to inspect your stash of ammo in the garage.

If you applied for an explosive license through the atf then you get a visit from the FD once a year now to inspect your storage area.

 

[powermad]

Most businesses get a visit from the Fire Marshal anyway.
This will just be another box to check for them while they are already there checking off fire suppression and such.

Like my shop.
Paint stored in proper cabinets.. check
Solvents stored in proper cabinets.. check
Explosive storage area.. NA

Here's my report on my private affairs to TPTB….

Here's my report on my private affairs to TPTB….

"I have exactly gun powder stored in my home, very much."

 

[Desoto]

My memory is awful these days, I forget to do so many things and inform others about stuff that isn't any of their business anyhow.

 

[sikhed]

Oh no, another boating accident.

 

[Longwalkhome]

I suspect to follow up on the new rule that the atf will have to use our credit card data of powder purchase and send a letter on the rule.

Same answer I tell medical people. NO!
