As a former long time VFD member myself, I sympathize, but I do have to point out that ammo that cooks off by itself in a fire is not very hazardous.

Oh no, I understand what you're saying...I and a few others there knew that...But it still is a bit disconcerting to have something go "bang" like that near you while under some "less than nominal firefighting operations"...

Imagine one of us humming the "Ride of the Valkries" through the amplifier of your SCBA mask...Sounds pretty cool when you do it like that...It was a nice mix of serious and humorous firefighting methodologies...

I am a member of a local Volunteer Fire Department in my community...

We were the only company able to get apparatus close enough to a flooded home in the Green Tee area of Pearland...

Not only were we up to our chests in flood water fighting this structure fire, but when the house got hot enough...We ended up flinching everytime we hear a round go off in that formerly nice house...

I counted dozens of reports...

Kinda exciting...not...We figured the homeowner didn't secure a lot of their ammunition well enough...

Oh well, I guess you had to be there...

As far as I know, in Texas there is no regulation that dictates a cap on the amount you may possess...Neither caliber or amount...

I have just enough to get by here, and the rest is securely stored.............elsewhere...

The question at hand is why discriminate against a Law Enforcement agency at all??? What have you got to lose??? Hide I mean.../sarcasm...

Guess where half of my refund money goes into every year???

But thats as far as I will elaborate...hehehe
