Ok, so I was looking through some laws for "some other stuff", and I ran accross this:

19.03.160 Section 3301.1 Amended; Fireworks.
Section 3301.1 of the International Fire Code is amended to read as follows:
3301.1 Fireworks. The provisions of this chapter and Chapter 9.44 of the Lincoln
Municipal Code shall govern the possession, manufacture, storage, handling, sale and use of
explosives, explosive material, fireworks, and small arms ammunition.

2. Explosives in forms prescribed by the official United States Pharmacopoeia.

Ok, what are the talking about here?  I may have more than 20lbs smokeless, and more than 10k primers!!   :o

JTH:
Nice.  Never noticed that before.  Now I'm going to have to look into local ordinances in Plattsmouth had such also, just because you've made me curious. 

Dan W:
 WOW...talk about your doublespeak

First they state that the code governs blah blah blah,

then they list           " EXCEPTIONS"

4. The possession, storage and use of not more than one pound (0.454 kg) of
commercially manufactured sporting black powder, 20 pounds (9 kg) of smokeless powder and
10,000 small arms primers for hand loading of small arms ammunition for personal consumption.


So, are they governing or excepting ???
 

justsomeguy:
It says they govern the possession etc.except for not more than 1 lb.,20 lb.,etc.

It sounds confusing until you substitute "less than  or equal to" for "not more than".
They govern the possession except for less than 1 lb. etc.

It's pretty much a carbon copy of National Fire Protection Association standards.
Even if your town doesn't have these standards, I'll bet your homeowners policy does.

Toster:
So "IF" I have more than 20 lbs smoke less or more than 10K primers, then what?  Is the state/local fire chief going to come knocking on my door?  Would my insuance still cover me if I had a fire, and "willfully neglected" knowing that I had more than the "allowed" amount?
