Rochester Blackpowder source

Smokeless powder isn't an explosive.  Black powder is.  An individual isn't allowed to have more that five pound of the stuff.  Greater that five pound requires a separated storage vault.

Landwaz brings up a good point and I don't know the answer.  Is  Pyrodex, 777 and Blackhorn regulated the same way as real black powder?  

Post 911 and other events things changes a lot.  Pretty easy to make a bomb with black powder.  Fairly impossible with smokeless but I'd hate to be proved wrong.

But those of you that have been to PA to buy fireworks.  How does that one skip the regulations unless there's a exemption.  Keep in mind the Boston marathon bombers use fireworks to extract their black powder

Firemen are going by NFPA and they would be up on storage requirements.  I know at least one of you out there is a retired fireman.  DOT only comes into play when it's being transported.
