Hey all. I live with my parents still and they aren't comfortable with me keeping my ammo unlocked or in the safe with the guns. What do you guys use for ammo storage?

Keep it in the safe with the guns.

The law specifically says you can. The police say you can/should.

Do your parents want to buy you a second safe so you have one for guns and a different one for ammo? That would be nice of them. It means you can store more guns and ammo!

You could buy an old locking filing cabinet to store somewhere in the house if you can't convince your parents to see the rationale in storing your ammo in the gun cabinet. Used filing cabinets are usually pretty cheap, sometimes free if cost is a concern.
