In two houses we cleared out the owners had been reloaders. In one case I distinctly remember there being a small mound (maybe the size of a half-gallon canister); at the other there were many black plastic containers that had obviously had water breach their seals. This was before I got into shooting so I didn't know anything, but the regulations we were told required that we notify a mobile hazardous materials disposal team and get some distance away if we found black powder. I think there was something about how it's especially susceptible to friction setting it off after it's gotten wet and dried out (as it clumps together), but again, I didn't know much at the time and still know very little about black powder.

Anyone recall the fate of late THR member Labgrade?
As I recall, the FD wouldn't save him because of the reported ammo stash.

There was a story recently about a inner city crook that stored a loaded gun in an oven and some time after the oven was turnd on for normal cooking reasons the gun went off and hit someone in the home. I would guess this was a loaded gun, not just a box of ammo.
Here it is:

4-year-old boy was stable Saturday after a loaded handgun hidden inside an oven in a South Side home discharged when the oven was turned on, authorities said.
Anthony Smith, 24, of Chicago was charged with two counts of endangering the life of a child and one count of unlawful use of a weapon, said Chicago Police Officer Marcel Bright.
Smith, a felon, had hidden the revolver in the oven in a home in the 4800 block of South Racine Avenue, Bright said.
When the injured boy's sister turned on the oven to cook about 4 p.m. Friday, the heat caused the gun to discharge, striking the boy in the leg with a bullet. His 12-year-old brother was struck on the forehead by a fragment from the gun, Bright said.
Both children were taken to University of Chicago Medical Center. The 12-year-old was treated and released, Bright said.

Equally true is that just because some internet "experts" told you that it is false does not make it so.
