Shipping live Ammo?
Does anyone know if it's legal?
If it is - how is it done?

There are a few states, cities and counties in the US where ammo cannot be shipped. You'll have to be cognizant of that, otherwise, you're free to ship at will."Those who fear your guns do so because they know they are guilty of things for which they should be shot"Comment

Since you will no doubt not elaborate, despite making a sweeping and uncertain assertion, I will clarify.
Some municipalities have reporting requirements, ie, a retailer has to report sales to people or businesses within that municipality. That is about 99% of the the "restrictions" you are thinking of, and why licensed retailers won't ship to some places. California does indeed make the possession and importation of tracers illegal. New Jersey makes the possession of hollow point ammo illegal, except for hunting purposes, but does not regulate importation.
An individual can ship "live ammo" within this country via ups or fedex, without limitation. I understand that to be the OP's concern.
Do you have any info? We all have opinions wrapped in FUD.Last edited by paul0660; 04-16-2013, 11:10 AM.*REMOVE THIS PART BEFORE POSTING*Comment

I understand that you're referring to some municipal codes in some CA jurisdictions but I was referring to the much larger, and much more complex regulations that vary from state to state, county to county and city to city.
There are places that ammunition CANNOT be shipped to due to local ammunition purchase or transfer regulation. THAT is what I was referring to so obviously both of our comments require deeper elaboration. This is a simplistic but fairly comprehensive list:

Also, note that we are talking about shipping ammo, not getting it.Last edited by paul0660; 04-16-2013, 11:35 AM.*REMOVE THIS PART BEFORE POSTING*Comment

Never mind I found it.
This is that stores policy, it has nothing to do with the law.
The restriction to Alaska is not a state law, it is because everything goes there air, and UPS and FED EX only ship ammo ground. Trust me, a lot of Alaskans are getting ammo. The California restrictions are all reporting, as I mentioned. Plenty of people get ammo delivered to those cities/counties, even by commercial vendors, and there is NOTHING illegal about an individual sending ammo to those places.
Connecticut, New York boroughs, etc., I don't know, but after all it is just a sales website.*REMOVE THIS PART BEFORE POSTING*Comment
