Sportsman's Guide, too?

[Dark&Good]

This will tell you the story... it's the reply e-mail I received from them.
I tried to buy #1 buckshot...

"Dear ****************,

Thank you for your email.
Thank you for your question on items that have mailing restrictions. If an item is restricted, that means it cannot be ordered by customers in your area.

We have placed restrictions on specific items listed in our catalog and our web site. Due to the various state, county and municipal laws that exist, we are not always able to comply with each individual guideline.

Not all of the restrictions are based on laws on the books, but could be a company decision based on other particular concerns. These may include whether the state has law suits pending involving gun owners and recent court decisions that may affect businesses like ours.

Also, it may be that the states' laws are so vague that they could be interpreted unfavorably in the event a court action was ever involved.

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

If you have any questions, please contact us.

Thanks for shopping the Guide!

Message: Hi, I have tried to buy some buckshot from you lately, but I got an e-mail saying that it's "restricted". What does this mean? You don't sell shotgun ammo to California? Or you didn't have that brand/model in stock? Thanks, *********"

I thought they have had ammo restrictions to SF for years. They're even worse now that they were bought out by the French. Have you noticed more housewares in their catalogs?

[Truegrit!]

Blame it on Gavin Newsom and SF politics, not on Sportsmansguide.. Just wait until he is govenor!

[Dark&Good]

Buckshot???

[Vinz]

I've been sayin for years....they suck. They wouldn't sell me a rifle scope and gun rack....a rifle scope and gun rack! screw em.

My Father and I have been past customers for years they the big sorry letter. Neither I or my fathers hunting club will use them now.

They won't send ammo to Culver City because it's in LA County, when it is LA City that is fascist.

Do as I do. Buy ammo from others.

I tried to buy a Tapco SKS stock and they told me they don't ship AW parts to Cali.....

Funny... they will send me almost any AR part they have in stock though.

Sure. After looking for #1 buckshot unsuccessfully for two weeks, I ordered some from Canada

I will not support Sportsman's Guide. Some of their policies are entirely ridiculous.

I won't, either. I didn't know anything about them other than they were the only online source I've found that had #1 buckshot.

Theres I sportsmans warehouse in marysville, i used to go there a lot when i lived in forest hill, they had lots of re-loading supplies and more knowledgeable staff than you would expect from a store that big.

Gavin Newsom? Is this the gay guy who is running for governor who pretends to be straight a guy that is married to this hot chick now pregnant? Still gay.

He should change his name to Gayvin Newsom.

Are you aware that many gay people are shooters, and support our 2nd Amendment fights in California?

Please don't spread intolerance and bigotry. We're all in this together. There's enough factual aspects to dislike about Newsom without resorting to FUD about sexual orientation, which is totally irrelevant to gun control.

[highpowermatch]

they would not ship me an AR carry handle, so I replaced the order using my buddy's address in Nevada. Still would not ship it casue the card was from California! damn! was a good price too.

[DDRH]

you can always buy it and have it shipped to me...i'm in the SouthBay. I only accept minimum shipments of 1K rnds, and i take a 20% fee on the ammo. so 200 rnds....BTW open a credit card account using ur friends address in NV
