Why would you need to put your ammo in a safe? The guns of course but the ammo?

Ammo storage?
- Thread starter JCase
- Start date
Military ammo cans and then store the cans inside a large heavy duty plastic container that is lockable. I keep the container indoors and covered with a tablecloth so it looks like part of the furniture in a guest room. None of my house guests have ever really noticed it.
GI Ammo cans stacked under my loading bench. No need to keep in a anything like a safe, (Unless you live in a real crime area).

Not in safe. In GI Ammo cans. And some in the guns stashed around the house.

I bought a used jobsite box off Craigslist for cheap from a construction business that went under. I put the ammo in GI ammo cans and the cans in the box.
The actual reason I use it, is it was "too good a deal" to pass up (don't dare laugh, most of you have bought stuff for the same reason) and it was sitting there empty. So I put the ammo in it to get that out of the way. It actually worked out quite well.
It keeps things neat, out of sight, relatively secure, safe from water (not all of it is in ammo cans), easy to get to, etc. Pretty much it's now the "Main Magazine".
I used to keep it in an old metal wall locker. That was too narrow, so you had to stack everything and invariably what you needed was on the bottom. With the jobsite box, it's spread out enough that even if you had enough ammo that you needed to stack it, there's still plenty of room to easily get at what you need to.

Den clothes closet that I have taken over and made my ammo closet. The room has heat and air. Some in metal ammo cans and the rest in original boxes.

I store most of my ammo in the safe I have my guns in and some of it in a smaller safe. I wish I could afford a large safe just for ammo. Since I cannot, at this time, I store most of my ammo with my guns. It is a strong safe and I'd rather have the ammo in a safe, than somewhere in a closet or some shelves, where it can be easily had!
