Montgomery County ammo restrictions

Snav · Apr 30, 2016

I recently was looking at ammo pricing and noticed Palmetto State Armory will not ship ammo to city of Annapolis or Montgomery County. I had this happen many years ago(>10 was ordering ,375 H&H for trip to SA 2003) once with Cabelas but have had many shipments since inquiring about that with them and no issues with other vendors.

I have searched but can't find anything on forums here or county websites about restrictions. looking for anyone that can point to the code or has knowledge about this.

AFAIK, there are no legal restrictions (however much the local antis would like that).

If they won't ship to you, find another vendor.

I've had tons (well, pounds) of ammo shipped to me in MoCo.

I did send inquiry to Palmetto for a copy of the code they were following. We'll see what they say.

Sportsmans guide has no problem shippinh ammo to me at work in Silver Spring. Got an ammo can full of 223 last week.

The way I heard it: Montgomery county has the law on the books, State preemption voids the law.

Midway has no problem shipping ammo to me in MoCo.

Atlantic Guns sued Mo Co and won. No restrictions on ammo sales in Mo Co. If a vendor is too lazy to keep up with things that affect their business, I go elsewhere.

There are a few vendors who refuse to ship ammo to MoCo inexplicably. That has always been one of the rubs with PSA. :sad20:

I just use other vendors. Plenty of them out there.

try to find a copy of the court ruling invalidating the Mo Co code.

I doubt PSA cares enough to fix their policy.

Thank you for the link to another interesting read. Saved for future reference.

I have received ammo from PSA before. It just took longer than a usual order.

Haha, complete waste of time. Screw PSA, they don't know the law or care to learn. Buy elsewhere for everything you need, they suck plain and simple. Plenty of good IP here and cheap place to buy on line. Check out http://ammoseek.com they track the cheapest ammo online.

Been thru this a few years ago. PSA used to sell me ammo, then they wouldn't. I sent them plenty of documentation, including stuff from NRA-ILA.

They didn't care. I emailed the CEO, he kicked it downstairs, they sent it to the legal dept, the lawyers punked out.

Screw PSA, I'll buy legal ammo from someone else, forever.

Psa CAN screw off

Piss on places like PSA. They will screw you over at the drop of a hat.

You are better off with someplace like http://www.targetsportsusa.com/t-bulkammo.aspx or http://www.bulkammo.com/ I've received free shipping 24 hour delivery of ammo from targetsportsusa to the house in Monkey Co. I think it's a good idea to establish yourself with several suppliers. Sometimes the first order takes a while to show up but subsequent orders have never been an issue.

+1. I've had issues with PSA as well. I explained the situation, and they wouldn't budge.

Me, too.

Ammo to Go has always come through for me.

FWIW, I normally start here when I need something. http://ammoseek.com/ Just don't forget to factor the different shipping not readily determined in the main screen.

A big +1 here. Spend your money elsewhere.
