If ammo starts cooking off, don't expect Fire Dept. to save your place.

Even with an "air gun" his trigger discipline sucks...I checked with my local expert and he said you only need to store two shells in your home.

I was wondering the same thing but I am not going to ask our insurance company.I wonder how insurance payout would be effected if the fire dept chose to step down?
The flammable sign is a good idea.I never expected firefighters to risk their lives fighting a fire where there is a lot of ammo or other extremely flammable stuff. Which is why I have a large placard on the man door of my shop where almost all of my ammo is, along with propane canisters and a 55 gallon drum of gasoline.

And this is definitely and issue where I live; we came pretty close to having a forest fire destroy our neighborhood in 2020. We were lucky that the wind was from the east and stayed from the east. Had the prevailing wind been from the southwest at any time, it would have come towards my house.
As it was, we had to evacuate - the fire was less than a mile from my property.

Nor was this the first time they stopped a fire from being a lot worse than it could have been; there was an unattended slash fire that got out of control a couple miles to the east that could have been really bad because it was windy that day and again the wind was from the east.
You can bet I will vote for the TVFR levy (https://www.tvfr.com/101/Local-Option-Levy ) this year and be quite glad to - all of my neighbors will too. To us, they are heroes.
So when primers are hard to come by just grab a bic.I think ammo is dangerous in a fire if it's chambered in a firearm. When it cooks off, I think it will accelerate down the barrel just as if you pulled the trigger and punctured the primer. When it's not chambered, it won't have the expanding gases focused behind it to push and accelerate it and a barrel to point it as it picks up velocity.
I haven't tried that to confirm.
Sure, if you can get the bad guys to hold still long enough while you try to set them on fire!So when primers are hard to come by just grab a bic.
