Natchez canceled my handgun ammo order !

Smokin Joe · March 2, 2007, 02:53 PM

just like I said it. I ordred handgun ammo, 10 boxes of various 38 special, 10 boxes of various 9mm luger, mostly CCI blazers...

Then lo and behold, they sent an email saying order was cancelled.

the lame excuse ?

Quote:

You have ordered products that we can no longer sell or ship to your state. Due to regualtions set forth by your state, we can no longer sell or ship slingshots, airguns, ammunition, stunguns, or magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds.

This order has been canceled.

Thank your politicians for that one.

Smokin Joe · March 2, 2007, 04:08 PM

but what law ? there is no law ! this is weird. I read alot of the laws for new york, mentions nothing about having to buy local...

what did the politictions do ?

Smokin Joe · March 2, 2007, 04:15 PM

I just checked out ammobank ! WOW you NEED A BANK to order from them ! their prices are sky high

stanger04 · March 2, 2007, 04:18 PM

hey if you think they are tough then try living in cali. Just go to cabelas or bass pro

22-rimfire · March 2, 2007, 04:31 PM

My best advice is to move to Pennsylvania and commute. Many companies will not ship to NYC. OR, if you have a friend in PA, have the order shipped there and pick it up when it is convenient.

DeathRodent · March 2, 2007, 04:33 PM

Try sportsmansguide.com

I order handgun ammo from them - they deliver to my home in LA, Cal. but
I read where they wont deliver to some places.

deanadell · March 2, 2007, 04:36 PM

Right or Wrong, they have probably determined it is not worth their time to sort out all the different laws for each municipality in the State of New York, so they just quit shipping to the entire state. Less Liability.

Ocraknife · March 2, 2007, 08:31 PM

Smokin' Joe, move on down to TN, you can buy all the ammo you want.

There may not be any laws against it, but, you have heard of NY suing out of state gun dealers haven't you? It's only a small step to ammo and accessories.

rr4406pak · March 2, 2007, 08:42 PM

Just order from MidwayUSA!

The sportsmansguide will ship me ammo but not a pocket knife. I don't know why. I've ordered knives from cheaperthandirt.com

Smokin Joe · March 3, 2007, 12:09 AM

MIDWAY USA wont ship to me either, I ordered ammo. the cart wont take it and says remove item before continuing and etc... I'm in the city... maybe thats why..

22-rimfire · March 3, 2007, 12:13 AM

Looks like you need to move to a less "civilized" place. I know it sounds easy, but I know that a lot of you NYC folks don't own a car. Buy at gun shows.

parrothead2581 · March 3, 2007, 12:15 AM

Could you have it shipped to a friend outside of NYC, but billed to you?

Smokin Joe · March 3, 2007, 02:23 AM

my only other place to ship is my sister's house in NJ.

where I dont know what the NJ laws are pretaining to ammo possession, I dont want my sister hauled away for having my UPS ground box full of all sorts of ammo while she isnt a shooter, hence no permits and etc...

FS2K · March 3, 2007, 02:27 AM

I got the same exact email myself from them.

rr4406pak · March 5, 2007, 02:21 PM

OH, scratch my MidwayUSA idea, I did not know you were in NYC.

That definitely changes things.
I live in Upstate NY where mail ordering is not an issue.
I feel for you man!

Mister_Dinky · March 5, 2007, 05:03 PM

Unfortunately, a lot of companies won't ship a lot of stuff to NY, NJ, etc.

The problem is that certain vendors are are among the truly stupid, such as Makarov.com and Century.com, and obey non-existent laws. You would not believe the convoluted crap I got from Bloss as a rationale for not shipping to NJ.

Buddy... I say MOVE, asap..

down here in FL we're kinda filling up with yankees anyhow

JakFrost · December 19, 2008, 04:15 PM

This just happened to a friend of mine in the city.

Here's my research on ammo laws for the City of New York as they apply to dealers and persons purchasing ammo. Basically there is nothing in the law that prevents the sale of ammo in-person or otherwise to properly licensed persons except for a minimum amount of due-diligence and the paperwork requirements are already handled by the Internet web site orders and e-mails.

Natchez already complies with the law and for a minimal amount of due-diligence there is no reason why they cannot continue to ship to the City of New York, unless they have another reason all together.

Laws

In case you are curious about the NYC, NYS, and US law regarding ammunition possession check out the files that I attached.

Below are the basic highlights and they only say that you are only able to possess ammunition if you are licensed and have a registered firearm for the caliber of ammunition that you possess. There is also a requirement for dealers to keep a record for all ammunition sales to persons, but these days that is accomplished by regular invoicing that every Internet company does these days.

The dealer also has to be shown proof of your license. I believe that when I originally got my license 4-years ago I sent Natchez a copy of my license before my first order and they might require you to do the same but it’s possible that this is not the case anymore after the big Bloomberg investigations where many state courts ruled that it was unlawful for NYC to investigate out of state dealers. Also, since the law states that this is a requirement of the dealer and not the person then it is not your responsibility to make the dealer keep records of your licensing. Additionally, since the NYC Administrative Code has no jurisdiction over a dealer based in Tennessee this requirement might be moot in the eyes of the law and not apply.

There is also a requirement for “the person transporting” the ammunition to notify the police commissioner in writing but to my understanding the UPS corporation is the “person” (in the eyes of corporate law) doing the transportation and since you do not do the transportation, you only receive the ammunition you are also not responsible for notifying the commissioner.

That’s all that I could find about ammunition transportation and I read nothing in the laws that I found that would prohibit me from ordering and receiving ammunition by shipment since I meet all the criteria of being licensed and having a registered firearm of the proper caliber for which I order ammunition. I cannot transport the ammunition on a regular basis for delivery to someone else or sell it since that is restricted to dealers but I am ordering for personal usage in practice and competition and only receiving it.

One other thing is that the US Postal Service does not ship ammunition but private carriers like UPS and FedEx can and do by ground. They might also do it by air but I know that they don’t send primers or gun powder by air due to hazard rules. Also all ammunition or related boxes are stickered or labeled with the ORM-D (Consumer Commodity) notice and Natchez ships the ammo in their manufacturer’s case with all the advertising labels and big signs that there is ammunition inside, the caliber, etc but there is no hazard fee for ordering ammunition, only live explosives like primers and gun powder.

That’s about it that I could find in the laws about ammunition and from my understanding of it and referencing all the sections and paragraphs to each other but the final decision is yours based on the research and reading that you do into the law.

I found a new source for the NYC laws that can be linked to directly from the NYLP.com web site. The Legislature web site cannot be used to link directly into the sections of the laws since the URL for the final sections includes a "TOKEN=12345678" session based value that cannot be reused and with an invalid or missing value you get the "wait 10 seconds" error message.

But luckily the two sites below can be searched for terms such as "firearm" or "ammunition" to get a listing of all pertaining laws. The NYLP site including Rules of the City of New York - Title 38 which is hard to come by other than through the NYC's Licensing web site PDF that is outdated from 2001 last I checked.

Because of Bloomberg's straw purchases in VA, GA, and else where, even people that live in "free" states can no longer get ammo without first sending in a driver's license. Everyone's frightened about Bloomy the Commie running them out of business using NYS taxpayer money, irrespective of the destination of the order. You don't really think that anyone is going to send ammo right to his back yard, do you?

Do tell how you managed to get a carry license in NYC. Your the first person that I've ever heard of that actually has the all elusive NYC carry permit.

Not true. I received 1,000 rounds of .223 from a well-known online source last month without sending a copy of my driver's license OR signing for the ammo when delivered by UPS.

jg0001 · December 25, 2008, 01:52 AM

To an above poster living in NY and thinking of sending stuff to a relative in NJ... don't do it. I believe NJ passed a law this year regarding ammo requiring a Firearms Purchaser Permit card... you don't want to get anyone in trouble. [I read this in the latest NRA mag.]

I found a new source for the NYC laws that can be linked to directly from the NYLP.com web site. The Legislature web site cannot be used to link directly into the sections of the laws since the URL for the final sections includes a "TOKEN=12345678" session based value that cannot be reused and with an invalid or missing value you get the "wait 10 seconds" error message. But luckily the two sites below can be searched for terms such as "firearm" or "ammunition" to get a listing of all pertaining laws. The NYLP site including Rules of the City of New York - Title 38 which is hard to come by other than through the NYC's Licensing web site PDF that is outdated from 2001 last I checked.

Everyone's frightened about Bloomy the Commie running them out of business using NYS taxpayer money, irrespective of the destination of the order. You don't really think that anyone is going to send ammo right to his back yard, do you? Do tell how you managed to get a carry license in NYC. Your the first person that I've ever heard of that actually has the all elusive NYC carry permit. __________________ Hold the reins of power in America as the Founding Fathers intended, or else: http://shock.military.com/Shock/vide...=177117&page=5 Proud Member of GeorgiaCarry.Org since 2007

I believe NJ passed a law this year regarding ammo requiring a Firearms Purchaser Permit card... you don't want to get anyone in trouble. [I read this in the latest NRA mag.]
