Default RE: black powder = explosive in house

I agree with Kevin, but where do you keep your powder? Buried in the back yard? In a shed, where it's damp? Who stores gas in their garage? I have a 325 gallon tank of propane near my house, which I use to heat my house. If that ever blew, the house would be leveled.

I have less of a concern over properly stored BP or gas, than I do about that big tank I got out side. A little fire, an kapow, all is lost.

I store my BP in a tool box. All BP has electrical tape surrounding the cap to prevent moisture from getting in. I know in PA many people also reload their own bullets, how many houses were lost due to this type of explosion? The only ones I have heard about came from fireworks factories.

What do you guys think?

Tom
