Ammo can't be shipped to MD??!

[shiloh228]

I just tried to order some ammo (9mm Luger) from Sportsman's Warehouse, and was informed: "Fiocchi 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ cannot be shipped to MD. Please remove the item or enter another shipping address."

WTF?

Anybody offer an explanation? Thanks.

The Sportsman's Guide was doing that for a while.

Actually there is a new thing, that k-var and The Sportsman's Guide pulling now:
Parts kits cannot be shipped to MD. (tried to get AK-74 parts kit)

I know they don't need a reason, but...WHY??

Misread of the statute? Or jsut too much of a hassle?

I'd dump buying from Sportsman's Guide. I've had ammo of multiple calibers shipped to my door step with no issues from Cheaper Than Dirt.

I would do the opposite. Never had any problems from Sportsmansguide.

He is talking about sportsman warehouse not sportsmans guide

Find another vendor, plenty are willing to ship to MD still.

For the time being anyways.

I had no issues with bulkammo.com

I can understand a vendor misunderstanding MD laws...heck, we're still trying to get straight answers on many issues. It's just one more headache for prisoners of the MD Gulag. For instance...we all deal with purchases of firearms which are bundled with magazines that are not allowed for transfer into MD, in some cases the seller might sub. a smaller mag, in many they simply don't ship any mag., but usually don't discount the sale price...so here we are again taking it on the chin because of MOM's asinine legislation.

 

[pbharvey]

That's too bad, they run some good sales.

 

[JAD]

The problem is, small stores will not spend the time to read the laws here in other states. They will assume the worst and just refuse to do business with us for their own legal protection.

 

[JAD]

This will be a growing problem here in MD.

 

[Kagetsu]

As far as I know there aren't any MD laws about ammo to misunderstand. The only hitch I've seen is you can't have a company that ships by FedEx or UPS ship to a PO box

 

[swinokur]

That's the misunderstanding. They think there's a law when there isn't.

Playing the BS card ...

Unless this a VERY recent development, I'd say that there is something else in play.

I have purchased ammo from SG as recent as a month ago and had no problems, and I have a backorder being shipped on Tuesday next week.

That said, I am a 'long standing SG member', so maybe they think I'm 'special' ...

As Zane stated in Post 7, The OP is talking about Sportsman's Warehouse, not Sportsman's Guide.

 

[SigP226]

I also have not had a problem (pretty recently) with BulkAmmo.

 

[Mr Bear]

Just sent an email to sportsman's warehouse asking how/why they made the business decision to exclude Md from its client list.

When I attempted to order 9mm ammo, the system informed me SW did not ship ammo to Md.

I ordered ammo from them a few weeks ago. No issues for me.
