I dunno... someone help me out here.

Is the BATFE coming to see anyone?

Just asking?

Here's what I've found:

with US Department of Transportation Regulations.
11-5.3 No more than 25,000 small arms primers may be
transported in a private vehicle.

stored in residences.


In both instances they are labled as 'recommendations'. secondly, it does not define 'residence'. Is an out building, more than 100' away from your primary living space considered residence? I don't know. Anyway, that's what I found.
