Section § 12150

Explanation

This law states that, except for explosives at a manufacturing plant, you cannot have explosives unless they're completely sealed in a solid metal, wooden, fiber container, or an approved one by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Additionally, you can't let any explosive particles or grains be on the outside or around these containers.

Except for explosives kept only at an explosive manufacturing plant, no person shall possess, keep, or store any explosive which is not completely encased in a tight metal, wooden, or fiber container, or a container approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
No person having any explosives in his possession or control shall under any circumstances permit or allow any grains or particles of such explosives to be or remain on the outside of, or about, the containers in which such explosives are kept.

Section § 12150.5

Explanation

If you have blasting caps (whether electric or not), you must store them in a locked, approved storage container. This rule doesn't apply if you're actively using, transporting, or selling the blasting caps.

Every person having any blasting caps (electric or nonelectric) in his possession or control shall keep the same securely deposited in a locked approved magazine, except when taken therefrom for actual use, transportation, or sale.

Section § 12151

Explanation

This law states that all explosives must be stored according to the guidelines set by the State Fire Marshal. The only time these storage rules don't apply is when the explosives are being transported by a common carrier or while they are on their way to be delivered to a recipient.

Except while in the custody of a common carrier or in course of transportation pending delivery to a consignee, all explosives shall be kept or stored as specified in the rules or regulations adopted by the State Fire Marshal pursuant to this part.
