Armory (military)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An armory is a military depot used for the storage of weapons and ammunition. The term may also apply to an area within a building, used for the storage of weapons. In the United States, armory may refer to the building from which a National Guard trains during peacetime. In a typical armory, ammunition is stored under separate lock and key from weapons to minimize the potential for misuse and improve safety. Very sensitive alarm systems are also extensively used.
It can also refer to the place where a reserve unit in the Canadian Forces meets and parades.
