In this age, where misinformation is spread like wildfire, and legislation is made by legislators who know nothing about the things they legislate, there is a lot of apprehension when it comes to the second amendment. Where once, an armed citizen was not a sight to behold, the social view of someone who is armed to defend life and liberty is oftentimes met with fear. Even when it comes to how much ammo you can own.

How much ammo can I own?

Generally there is no limit to how much ammo you can own. It mainly depends on your state with how much ammo you can buy at a time. Places like California and New Jersey restrict even the amount of ammo you are allowed to have in your magazines as safety hazards. Just be sure to know how much ammo you can have per the state you live in.

How to store ammo you do own.

When it comes to the ammo you already own, whether you have a lot, or a little, there is a proper way to store. Safety is the ultimate goal here, but keeping your ammo in usable condition is still good.

Keep your ammo stored in a temperature controlled, dry environment to ensure that there is no corrosion or moisture that might seep into the rounds that would render them useless. Make sure the location is also fireproof to reduce the chance of discharges as well. The compartment you store them in should also be movable so that if there were ever a time you might need to move your ammo for safety reasons, you can do it rather easily.

There is no straightforward answer to how much ammo you can own, but knowing the regulations based on the area you are in can help you figure that out. And by knowing how to properly store ammo, you may feel more comfortable owning larger amounts of ammo.
