Who reloads in their apartment, condo, townhouse?

fabsroman · Oct 20, 2013

I am wondering where people reload (e.g., apartment, condo, townhouse, multifamily dwelling, single family home, etc.)

PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME IN THIS THREAD WHERE YOU RELOAD. PLEASE JUST ANSWER THE POLL.

Sgt Preston here...

There are serious issues & ramifications with the local fire codes & personal liability issues if a fires starts in your multifamily residence & spreads to other peoples homes...

You need to think about this & discuss it with your fire insurance carrier...

If you ever saw a condo or apartment building burn, you'd understand...

We had a condo fire near where I live 2 years ago...

It took 13 months before the 24 families could move back in...

Good advice for those in a condo or townhouse.

I should be alright though. I currently live in a 4,200 sf single family residence on 2 acres. Think my neighbors will be alright since their lots are between 2 and 5 acres in size and houses are pretty far apart here.

Reloading or not you better have good liability insurance.
Our beach condo took water damage that took 4 months to repair. The offending condo 3 floors above us was the only condo where the sprinkler went off. It caused enough damage that 3 of us other condos took about 30K each of property damage and about 25K each of rental loss. The condo association pays for the building insurance though, but the offending unit has to pay us 3 back for loss of use and our upgrades.

I live in the middle of 640 acres and my nearest neighbor is about a mile and a half down the road. Where I live everybody minds there own biz. If I had a house or shop fire it would be burned up before the fire dept got here.

I am currently in an apartment and I've lived in apartments prior to this. I've reloaded in every apartment I've been in.

I think the Maryland law forbids the practice in a condo/apartment/multi family dwelling. Townhouses I'm not so clear on.

Yeah, unless they can assure data security I would not recommend anyone respond to this poll.

I lived in an apartment years back. There were no regulations. I just kept a minimium amount of powder and primers on hand. So most of my reloading kept the powder and primer components to a minimum. So did the cash available.

Is it possible for somebody (e.g., law enforcement) to figure out the actual name and address of somebody responding to the poll, and only the poll?

I am no technology guru, that is for sure.

Short answer; yes, and while I doubt it would be enough for PC, this is MD. Anything is possible; they tax rain.

I re-load in a .....

.....jail. This is no s*it. The outbuilding on my property was formerly a temporary holding jail in the first half of the 1900's. The bars still exist in one window. When it was no longer used as a jail, the town used it as a garage, then sold the whole building to my father. It was jacked up, put on wheels and moved to our property where my father converted into his "tinkerin' shop" and later installed reloading equipment.
:cool:

I'm so glad I don't live in Maryland.

They still have to prove it was you and not someone using your internet.

All they need is enough to get a search warrant, right? They'll find the proof in your apartment, condo, townhouse.

What is the big deal? One is on a shooting site, discussing and sharing firearms experiences. I would say they would know where to look for firearms, reloading supplies and ammunition.

jjones88 · Oct 21, 2013

could someone point to where reloading in a multi-family dwelling is illegal? I did a very quick google search and found in the Public Safety Article - Title 11. Explosives:

"11-105. License required; exceptions (2) A person may not possess or store explosives for use in firearms in any quantity in multifamily dwellings, apartments, dormitories, hotels, schools, other public buildings, or buildings or structures open for public use. "

Wouldn't this include ammunition as is?

Hey, it's your call; I was just stating that it may not be in one's best interest to disclose information that may or may not be in conflict with current MD law and/or regulations.
