Ron’s right about checking local ordinances. One thing I’d add – even where no permit is required, you still need to follow basic safety distances from structures and roads. There’s a good breakdown of the actual rules in the Rules & Regulations section here on the site if you wanna read up on the specifics.

Also worth noting that ATF just updated some storage requirements for 2026 that affect anyone buying in bulk. Even if it’s just consumer stuff, how you store it can get you in trouble if you’re not careful.
