    Hi everyone, I purchase most of my ammo in bulk acouple times a year from Bulkammo.com. Placed a order last night, and received a email from them saying Maryland requires ID proof before the order can be sent out. This is the first i had to do this online. Something new get passed, or is bulk ammo trying to do some ass covering? Thanks!

    Nothing I've heard of or encountered that explicitly requires an ID to be submitted. There is an age restriction to purchase ammo in MD, but usually they just ask for your birthdate or for you to affirm that you are over age.

    I just made two ammo purchases from two different companies and all I had to do was check the box affirming I was legal.

    There is no law requiring ID for bulk or any other ammo purchase. I've had the same requested when I buy 1000 rds of ammo or more. I have my Md license stored in my computer so it's a couple clicks and it's done. I have noticed that places I have bought firearms from don't make the request, I guess because They have my Ffl dealer on file too.

    I'm guessing they really wanted to make sure you didn't live in Montgomery county where its illegal to ship ammo to.



    ^this. Also, the city of Annapolis, I think. Go to Palmetto State Armory and read their shipping disclaimers/restrictions. They won’t ship to either locale.

    I like SGAmmo or TargetSports for online ammo purchases. Nothing weird to deal with.

    Keep calm and buy ammo. I’m here ;)


    What’s your site or where are you located ? I’m about due for a bulk purchase of ammo soon. My go to has been TargetSportsUSA in the past, but that’s when i was living in the South.

    That's simply not the case. The issue has been gone for many years. Some dealers may be confused about that, but that's a Stupid Dealers issue, not a legal one.

    If I can cross paths with Ammo Jon without burning $20 worth of gas, I'll gladly reward him with the business. We've managed to make that work a couple times! If I need to have it shipped in to MoCo, places like Lucky Gunner and Midway will very happily deliver it right to my doorstep here in the heart of darkness.

    +4 for Jon.

    For all the reasons given, PLUS when you buy from Jon, your purchase doesn't show up on the credit card ....

    Can't tell you how many times I have heard "Why do you need more / don't you have enough ammo????"
