Hey all! I plan to apply for an LEUP, and I am trying to identify a suitable magazine. The BATF Orange Book indicates that I can use a "box" as an outdoor storage magazine, provided that it meets all of the specs. I have a decent sized piece of property here in Tampa, FL that will allow me to place a storage box over 75 feet from a residence. I don't want anything big, so I was planning to mount a military surplus ammo can to a concrete slab among some bushes in the yard. Click here for some inexpensive samples.
The way I see it (which is, I realize, meaningless), if a box is water-tight and approved by the military to store high-explosives like grenades, it would surely be good enough to store AP reloads. I would love to hear from anyone with experience in this area.
I know that you can apply for a variance so that you can store AP in an attached garage, but I think I would rather store them out in the yard just the same. As far as I can tell, Florida has adopted NFPA 1122 rules for AP storage. Does anyone in Florida have experience with this? I want to make sure that my storage will be suitable before I cough up the $$ for the permit.
Thanks in advance!!!!
