I share a vacation home with family . We are all gun owners. Family members leave ammunition in the house in unlocked cabinets and on shelves when the the house is not occupied. I would like to know if there are laws pertaining to storing ammunition in a residence in Indiana, I am of the mind that it is a dangerous proposition to leave it in the house and/or left in a unlocked cabinet. This is a rural area and break-ins are not uncommon. I am fearful someone may take the ammunition and cause harm on our property or elsewhere. Am I right to be concerned? Are there any laws in Indiana that cover only the ammunition in a house if the firearms are removed? Family members are of the mind that without a gun the ammunition will not cause harm so it is ok to leave it in the house because the guns have been removed. I wonder just what might be the outcome if some kids break in and take the ammo home and try it out with Dad gun. Tks Z.

Thank you for the response. However, I still need to know, is it legal in Indiana to leave ammo unlocked?

Never leave ammunitions when there are no people around because these could be used in illegal activities and even against you.

Yes it is unwise to leave a door unlocked in case a thief breaks in and takes valuables. Having said that there is always a fire risk and if children are inside makes it that much more difficult.to rescue them People may be aware of burglers but as child abductors are so rare people never give this a thought. How many on here would expect their child to be snatched from their own front garden.?
