The term "person" whenever used herein shall be held to include corporations as well as natural persons; words used in the singular number to include the plural and the plural the singular. The words "explosive manufacturing plant" shall be understood to include all the land used in connection with the manufacture and storage of explosives thereat. § 2. Inclosure and storage. Except only at an explosive manufacturing plant, no person shall have, keep or store, at any place within this state, any explosives, unless such explosives are completely inclosed and incased in tight metal, wooden or fiber containers, and, except while being transported, or within the custody of a common carrier pending delivery to consignee, shall be kept and stored in a magazine constructed and operated as hereinafter described, and no person having in his possession or control, any explosives, shall under any circumstances permit or allow any grains or particles thereof to be or remain on the outside or about the containers, in which such explosives are contained. § 3. Magazine. Magazines in which explosives may lawfully be stored or kept shall be two classes, as follows: (a) First class. Magazines of the first class shall consist of those containing explosives exceeding one hundred pounds, and shall be constructed wholly of brick, wood covered with iron, or other fireproof material, and must be fireproof, and, except magazines where gunpowder or black blasting powder only is stored must be bullet proof, and shall have no openings except for ventilation and entrance.
