    So yes.... But you might want to rethink that and lock your ammo up anyway... I keep mine locked in both ammo cans and a locked cabinet, both are easy to access but require either a key or combination to access. Its beyond the requirement but makes it harder for some cop to try and get you charged.

    FYI it is legal to have ammo & firearms in the same case, safe or cabinet, they just can't be loaded in the gun, the magazines can be loaded however. I keep my 9mm in my biometric safe with magazine right next to the firearm myself its perfectly legal
    ^ I agree, lock it up as securely as possible especially if you have kids, or kids visiting your home.

    LOOKS LIKE ITS ALL CTs..... great deal, I have about 10 of these already, you can put a standard padlock on this or with a little reaming with a drill you can put a larger padlock... I get the 10 pack locks from Princess auto that all have the same key, works awesome and has about a dozen keys

    So even something like this would be considered legal storage?


    I've just been using them to store gun parts and tools because I didn't think I could throw an open spam can in there.

    I went last night (Thursday) at around 8pm in Richmond, BC. Tag was back to regular price, but it still scanned in at $5.99 Also picked up 2, there was only 1 left after.

    I burn my old crates. Too bulky, heavy and occupy too much space.
