Ordering Ammo From Academy

[waddlingweezol]

Has anyone had any problems ordering ammo from Academy? I was about to order some, and saw that the item can't be shipped to CA on the ammo description. Then when I checked their specific state restrictions page it mentioned nothing about sending ammo to CA.

Thanks

Orange, I know it's legal to ship here. I just don't know if they have any blanket policies where they just don't ship ammo to CA period

From another thread here. They are using Prop65 for not shipping ammo to CA.

Thank you for contacting Academy Sports & Outdoors. You were inquiring about ammunition restriction for California. This is due to Proposition 65.

Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, was enacted as a ballot initiative in November 1986. The Proposition was intended by its authors to protect California citizens and the State's drinking water sources from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and to inform citizens about exposures to such chemicals.

Proposition 65 requires the state to maintain and update a list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.

Oh well, Academy Sports must feel that the loss of business is not going to hurt their bottom line that much. Considering that there are plenty of on-line retailers that will sell ammunition in to California, this is not that big a loss.

Yup, I tried ordering 9x18 mak ammos from them since they are the cheapest online. But they said they dont ship to the State.

Academy seems to move the blame onto the manufacturers. With that said they would not even ship ammo to Oregon for me because my billing address was California, I got the same prop 65 email when I asked about it. With that said I have moved on to someone willing to take my money, which is pretty much any other estore ever.
