First google your states fire code. If your state fire code is silent on the possession of smokeless and black powder then google your county and city codes.

i googled the state of MD fire code and the fire codes of several other US states and cities. IMO: Fire codes are not difficult to read and understand.

This section of the Maryland fire code applies to the possession of smokeless and black powder:

Quote:
ยง 11-115. Same - Explosives for use in firearms; required reports.
(a) Prohibitions on possession or storage of explosives for use in
firearms.-

(1) A person may not possess at any time or store in any one place more
than 5 pounds of smokeless powder or more than 5 pounds of black powder
for use in firearms unless the person is licensed under this subtitle.

(2) A person may not engage in the business of loading or reloading small
arms ammunition unless the person is licensed to engage in business as a
dealer under this subtitle.

(3) Except as otherwise provided in this subtitle, a person may not
possess or store explosives for use in firearms in any quantity in
multifamily dwellings, apartments, dormitories, hotels, schools or other
public buildings, or buildings or structures open for public use.

(b) Prohibition on sale of explosives for use in firearms.- A dealer may
not sell, barter, give, or dispose of more than 5 pounds of black powder
