But seriously, 2 questions:

1 - Is it legal for a private citizen to possess that much ammo in a
private home?


Yes


2 - What would happen if there was a fire in that basement?


The ammo would heat up and propel the bullets a short distance at low speed
and pressure. In firearms ammo is meant to be chambered. Beer bottles would
create shrapnel and be undrinkable to first responders.


Shotgun shells do less than that. The sidewall just blows out and the
shot will not even break the crimp. I would be more worried about a
jerry can of gas in the garage and a propane cylinder irs a real
concern
