Question about storing ammo if it's locked in a ammo crate can it be in the same room at the firearms? (It's one of those bass pro plastic ammo storage crates)

The key phrase is that the ammo must be "not readily accessable" to them firearm. I would feel comfortable storing my ammo in a locked plastic box if it was decent quality (the shitty Plano ones that you can get partially open when locked would cover me concern).

Yeah I figured it should be good I just hate how vague they are on stuff I just don't have much of a option currently besides said storage

I think if you lock the ammo crate itself in another container, then by definition, you should be fine.

Putting some distance between the ammo and firearm doesn't really make significant difference unless you lock one of them up in a safe or heavy gauge steel box.
