Thread: Change of Address requirements

Worthwhile noting again the requirements of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act - Class 1 material cannot be stored in a dwelling house (quantity any). Ammunition is Class 1.4S - quantity any.

So if the Police or Firearms outfit staff are requiring your ammunition container to be securely fixed to the house, it's rather interesting. I have a vested interest in this as a firefighter and seeing what reasonable quantities of ammo gassing off can do if your place is involved in a fire - it really isn't something you need to help get going! I also have a rather dim view of the advice some people are getting that their ammo needs to be secured in a safe - please do not do this as I really do not like things that go bang being contained in one place where they can all go bang together spitting bits of metal safe in all directions. It actually gives me the shits to be fair. If you must use a steel safe, grind vents in the back of it against the wall so any gasses being released in the event of a fire can dissipate without building up pressure to the point the safe ruptures and bits fly off.
