btw our Turners had tons of 555 boxes of .22 today; one box initially for all and some got left; I think things are loosening up..

I emailed Gander also...

How much were they selling it for?

[Fly5150]

I emailed Gander as I was about to spend some nice $$. I let them know that I would like to buy from them but can't support a company that boycotts shipping ammo to CA statewide. Here is their response.

Hello XXXXXX,

Thank you for your recent email. I will be happy to assist you with your inquiry. I apologize for any confusion but Gander Mountain can and does ship ammunition to California. Please feel free to call us at 1-888-542-6337 with any additional questions or concerns. Thank you for choosing Gander Mountain and have a wonderful day!

Regards,
Nathan E.

What Glock guy?

My big question is what prompted this? Do you think it was maybe that Glock guy and his 6 million rounds of .22? Just thinking out loud here.

So I just emailed Gander Mtn also:

Wondering why I cannot get ammunition shipped to my address in CA. Nothing has changed regarding the law in CA as far as shipping ammunition other than municipal codes in certain metropolitan areas such as SF, LA etc. I have purchased a considerable amount of ammunition from this establishment and would hate to have to curtail spending my money here because of political pressure or an erroneous view of CA laws.
Sincerely,
X Xxxxxxxxx

We'll see what they write back if anything. My bet is it's another canned response.

It's official for me... Fcuk Gander Mountain.

If it's too much trouble to do a half hour's worth of googling to keep our business... Fcuk them.

So that was fast... Here's Gander's reply:

Thank you for your recent email. I will be happy to assist you. I apologize for the
inconvenience, but we have recently removed our restrictions to send ammunition to
California. You should now be able to order and ship ammunition to that state. We
had an error earlier but have resolved that and lifted the ban on shipping to that
state. Again, I do apologize. If you need any further assistance or have an
questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for choosing Gander Mountain
and have a great day!

Sincerely,
Cody B.


So everything should be good...

EDIT: Just tried with some stuff in my cart, and still no go....

They probably have a threshold set on how many "complaints" they'll ignore before they really have to look again at their new policy. If we keep hitting them, they may take a second look. I'm kinda feeling this has already been bumped up a level on their side.

Orchardhills response was a little less generic than mine or others here, and they are admitting there is some sort of confusion. I've spent more money than I care to admit within the past 2 months just with them alone (not counting other vendors like Midway, Cabelas, etc) than I did the whole of 2012 on just ammo I'm pretty sure they will be checking into order histories.

I understand they that they are a business and have a right to make their own policies. But if they are a company that makes their policies on falsehoods which they dont seem to bother even verifying, and say us Californians are too much of a hassle to cater to, I'd question myself why I would want to do business with them over someone else than is more CA friendly.

LOL ...man I type too slow.

Oh and Gandermountain can go pound sand for awhile unless they start selling Mini-mags for $6/100 and waive that freakin ammo fee.

[Sousuke]

I tried buying the CBs just now and the restriction is still up. I also left a complaint.

Same result for me.... and same response.

I thought those sweeping new gun & ammunition restriction/permit laws didn't go in effect until 2015?

Governor Brown has until 10/14/13 to act.

See below for a lot more information.

I think just the lead ammo for hunting ban went to brown. Not ban on online sales.

Correct SB53 the online ammo mail order ban is dead for the season so it will not be a issue again for a year.
