Technically in MD it isn't legal to store $300 worth of powder in the same place.

I thought it was by weight - 5lb limit

Most powder POS realize people buy powder in group buys to minimize hazmat charges and will ship large amounts to Md residents.

I think no matter what way you slice it, $300 worth is more than 5lbs.

Store it in multiple locations on your property. Problem SOLVED.

Here's the actual statute:

Article - Public Safety
§ 11-115.
(a) (1) A person may not possess at any time or store in any one place more than 5 pounds of smokeless powder or more than 5 pounds of black powder for use in firearms unless the person is licensed under this subtitle.



(2) A person may not engage in the business of loading or reloading small arms ammunition unless the person is licensed to engage in business as a dealer under this subtitle.



(3) Except as otherwise provided in this subtitle, a person may not possess or store explosives for use in firearms in any quantity in multifamily dwellings, apartments, dormitories, hotels, schools or other public buildings, or buildings or structures open for public use.

The question would be would MD consider you "in possession" if you had control over more than more than 5lbs, even if it was scattered in less than 5lb increments in different structures across your property. But even if someone was charged, the max sentence is 6 months, so at least it wouldn't be a disqualifying offense.

Or move from MD. ......problem solved.

5lb don't go far in the 50BMG
