A member mentioned (in an earlier thread) that Traditions refuses to ship black powder firearms to Michigan. Indeed, in the description of each black powder firearm they sell, their web site lists Michigan as one of several states to which black powder firearms cannot be shipped.
I recently sent the following email to Traditions challenging that policy and requesting they correct their ad copy:

Dear Sir,
Your web site continues to state that black powder firearms cannot be
shipped to Michigan.
There are no Michigan state or Federal laws or regulations that prevent
shipping bp firearms to Michigan.
Michigan does not require registration of bp firearms, nor do they require a
purchase permit to acquire one. Those laws were changed several years ago
(2004).
Please correct your web site and join us in the 21st century.

Today I received the following response:

Greetings,
Thank you for your email. Previously we, along with other retailers such as Bass Pro and Cabelas, had not been shipping to certain states (like Michigan) due to the laws being restrictive or unclear. Cabelas currently does not allows orders for black powder rifles to be placed over the internet and instead require customers call a certain number to place an order. We are always reviewing laws and making sure we are following them correctly. We will again take a look at the laws and determine what we feel is the best course of action. We appreciate your thoughts and will certainly be looking into this. If we are able to determine that there are no restrictions at this time, we will certainly make the change on our website.
Thank you again and have a nice day.
Sincerely,
Alison Hall
