Hell no, I would not store that in any form and don't have the equipment to safely handle it.

I was just commenting on Praxichys' post. It suggests he keeps it in stock along with some other things that would be terribly dangerous.

Wow you all have some interesting chemicals there, can't really add anything more dangerous to it.

Stuff that I handle with more care than others

KCN : Not really often in use

Pyridine: Not because it's dangerous but I keep the bottle at the very back of the shelf - just to avoid any chance of accidentally dropping it and flooding the room with pyridine smell

Bromine

Arsenic, Lead, Mercury and Cadmium Salts (mostly Chlorides or Nitrates)

Nothing really special

Pure hydrazoic acid is prepared by dropping dilute sulfuric acid slowly on Sodium azide or Potassium azide warmed in a flask. The resulting gas is passed through calcium chloride in order to absorb moisture and finally it can be condensed in the receiver (using acetone/dry ice mixture). Extreme care must be taken while performing this experiment to avoid explosion. Later, the apparatus should be rinsed with methanol slowly to remove traces of hydrazoic acid. If you ever wanna try this, you better find an expert who has prepared this compound before.
