SHIPPING/SELLING AMMUNITION TO ANTI-GUN LOCALS IN THE USA

SHIPPING/SELLING AMMUNITION TO ANTI-GUN LOCALS IN THE UNITED STATES

I often get emails asking if we are shipping ammo to some of the more anti-gun states such as MA, IL, NY, CA, HI, etc.

First, it should be noted that no matter how unfair, unconstitutional, (read illegal) or draconian any state, city or county decides to be with their anti-gun laws; it becomes their problem/responsibility to enforce the laws they pass. It is not our responsibility to enforce their laws. In fact, It is impossible for us to know what gun-related laws exist (they may change often) in every local across our nation, so we focus only on Federal laws and make certain we are in compliance with those………the only federal law we know of regarding the sale of ammunition is that you must be at least 18 years old to buy ammo and ammo cannot be shipped via US Postal Service…it has to be shipped via ground service (no air) private carriers such as UPS or Fed-Ex. We use UPS.

UPS has no restrictions regarding shipping ammo to the states mentioned above. (Except HI, which would require air freight, so we simply do not sell to HI) We regularly ship ammo to customers in all those states, except HI. Until or unless UPS becomes restricted by law, we/they will continue to ship ammo to those states. If you are a resident of any of those states and are worried about being in compliance with their anti-gun laws, it becomes your responsibility as a resident, to comply with the laws where you reside or are ordering from and having the ammo shipped to…..we frankly disagree with the legality of laws that infringe on our 2nd amendment rights and as mentioned above, if any governmental body within the US wants to pass unconstitutional laws, we are not going to help them enforce such…..they will have to figure out how to enforce laws they passed.

A few years ago, as of this writing, (01-21-16) CA passed an illegal law that forbids their residents from ordering ammo online and having it shipped into CA. As a result, every ammo maker I know of, that sells on-line, stopped filling CA ammo orders—EXCEPT US! Word spread quickly among shooters in CA and our internet orders in CA went up several hundred percent….I did not take this position to make money! I took that position in order not to become an enforcement arm for CA illegal laws. If CA legislators wanted to pass an illegal law, enforcing it is their problem, not mine. Within a year, due to an NRA backed lawsuit, that law was declared unconstitutional (DUH!) by the CA state Supreme Court and was struck down.

Feel free to order ammo from us, regardless of your local, except HI and AK, which require air freight. UPS will bring it to your door. Any enforcement of illegal/unfair anti-gun laws are the responsibility of that state that passed them…..it may be illegal for you as a resident of one of those states, to order ammo on-line, but that too is not our responsibility to enforce. You must shoulder the responsibility of your choices in ordering ammo from such states or locals. We as a nation of states, counties, and cities have passed so many laws, that most of them are unknown or misunderstood. Good shooting and God bless.
