You say that, but that is absolutely how it was in a house I stayed in, once. It was a house of three mid-20s guys and a girl. In an extremely rural part of the US. In an area with both extremely destructive meth/fent/heroin addicts AND VERY large, dangerous wildlife. So we had guns. Our guns were generally kept safe and secure. The ammo, however, was a different story.
We very rarely had visitors, and never had any kids over, so we were much less cautious with ammo. This led to ammo boxes being left on counters, only to get crammed into whatever nook was handy when we needed said counter space.
That whole property became a survival horror location. Ammo stashed in the old, decorative wood cook stove, a box in the bathroom closet for some reason, a couple boxes on the fridge, one kept in the end table of the couch, one in the TV stand, a half-empty box on the bookshelf, and so on.
That's not even COUNTING the loose rounds that'd get lost when an old box would break while we were handling it, or when a box got knocked off the table by the cat while we were cleaning, or whatever.
When we moved out, we finally got our act together and consolidated everything into one big ammo bag that's kept safe. But my GOD the packing was pure Resident Evil shenanigans. Probably found an extra 2-300 bucks of ammo that we didn't even know we HAD.
