I live in a townhouse and the HOA agreement says that I cannot store any powder in my place.
I am in the process of completing my garage and the reloading bench is going to be in it along with the powder and fire extinguisher, not to mention that the townhomes have their own sprinkler system. Everything will be stored in cabinets so nobody will know what I have except for my bikes which will be hanging from the wall.
My gun safe will be behind a melmine cabinet that will match all the other cabinets. For my shotgun reloaders, they make a set of rails that the reloaders can slide into, so they will be taken off the bench every time I finish reloading. The metallic press comes off with two screws and will be removed whenever I am finished using it. After that, I plan on having a board that will come down and cover the bench so that the rest of the stuff cannot be seen (e.g., powder scale, shell casings, etc.).
The less people know about what you do and what you have, the better off you are. No sense dealing with a headache.
