Are these legal to own?

I have seen some in collections and always wondered about safety. Are not most 20mm shells loaded with he, incendiary, or depleted uranium bullets? Not something I would want rolling off the desk. Under the law they might qualify as 'dangerous device'? Dummy rounds are quite common.

In the US, as long as the HE payload is under (IIRC) 1/2oz, it's legal to have live. Over that the HE component must be removed. Incendiary , tracer, AP, DU are not a problem.

TP (Target Practice, blue projectile in the 20x102) rounds are also common

20 mm HE shells are notoriously unsafe, don't think I'd want one kicking around.
