318, I'm not sure if the State Fire Code are laws in the criminal sense, but I bet that if something happened and your house burnt down, your insurance claim would probably be rejected if an investigative fire team uncovered the fact a person had more primers than allowed. That would definitely be a bad thing.
In Canada those laws deal with "how" things are stored rather than "how much". For example, powder and primers except that which is "actively being used" (whatever that means?) must be stored in a wooden box equipped with brass hinges and closure, and also must be labelled "Explosives" and/or with the International symbol indicating an explosive hazard so that firefighters could quickly identify and remove the hazard if they were fighting a fire in your residence (or just get the heck out quickly and evacuate the neighborhood!). It all kinda makes sense really.
