I've been shooting for a long time, and consider myself a safe shooter, that thinks about safety quite a bit. But a while back I was in a conversation with an anti (whom I actually like) and he said something like "what! you store ammo in your safe! Everyone knows that you are supposed to store ammo away from guns"
I was puzzled, tried to think of a reason, thinking about maybe chemical leaching out of ammo and causing problems
I said "why?"
He said something like "so if you decide to kill someone you'll have time to cool down" which I laughed at. (it is very funny how people can be very inteligent and logical in virtually everything else in life but still have stupidity-inducing Hoplophibia)
I have seen the "rule" several times since and thought maybe it was legitimate.
