Queens man arrested for huge stockpile of weapons including 17 guns, 225 pounds of gun powder and thousands rounds

[lfinsr]

was discovered when officers conducted an administrative pistol licensee review

And that folks, is why if I ever recover from the mishap of losing all of my guns in a tragic boating accident, I will never register the new ones.

My understanding is you are limited to 200 rounds of ammunition, 20 lbs of smokeless powder and 5 lbs black powder. For an individual to exceed these levels requires FD and Bdlg. permits and an approved magazine.
If you exceed these limits, the prevailing authority can fine you, FD $1200.00, Bdlg. $1600.00. The reckless endangerment charge would be at the discretion of the PD.

By chance do have a law or regulation cite for that?

Id be willing to bet most every user in this forum is in violation of the 200 round rule at home. Heck what i carry on me and in my chosen daily vehicle exceeds that number.

The load out for my "tennis racket" is 210 rds. AR pistol truck gun with 7-30 rd mags in a tennis racquet case. But it sleeps inside the house at night.

I asked my brother in law the firefighter. Looks like 20 pounds without specific precautions.

Title 38 RCNY Rev. 2010. I want to say it was in chapter 2, but it could be chapter 1.
I learned about this, after FDNY "raided" a construction site where a sub was using power fasteners (.22 blanks) and he was caught with 312. Same rules as ammo, $1200.00 fine and confiscation of materials.

I guess it's because I am so backwoods/hillbilly I can not comprehend this. Socialism at it's finest.
