Need permit to reload?

[shibadad]

I saw reference to ORC2923.17 in another part of the forum and looking at it I see, (B) No person shall manufacture or process an explosive at any location in this state unless the person first has been issued a license, certificate of registration, or permit to do so from a fire official of a political subdivision of this state or from the office of the fire marshal.

Do you need a permit to reload? Are reloaders excused from this part of the ORC by another part?

That looks like it's for explosives and not related to ammo at all. You need a license to manufacture ammo if you are selling it, not for your own use.

What NRAI said, If you're reloading to sell you'll need a license, if it's just for your self (I'd imaging sharing among friends/family/etc is also ok) you're fine.

small arms ammo is not considered an explosive.

although I think I did read some obscure law pertaining to quantities stored in a house.. something like 10k primers and 10lb of powder or something, I don't recall..

It should'nt be an issue unless maybe you have a fire and your insurance finds a way of weaseling out of paying.

Most home owner insurance policies have a paragraph dealing with this.

So, per the state fire marshal you are not sitting on an arsenal until you have 10,001 + rounds.....

Hell, I don't shoot muzzleloader competition anymore, but usually kept around 25#, if not more when I did. I bet I still have 4 or 5# around here somewhere.
