Shipping Ammo to Annapolis

hodgepodge · Mar 31, 2011

I was talking to a friend who lives in the city of Annapolis. He says he cannot get ammo shipped to his house. (He makes other arrangements.)

Is this valid? Is there really a more restrictive Annapolis city law?

Thanks.

I would tell him to find another supplier. I have had no problems getting ammo shipped to Annapolis.

Depends on the supplier. I live in Annapolis and have found that some will ship and others won't. Some online suppliers list the areas they will NOT ship to so its not so bad.

I've seen many sellers stating they will NOT ship ammo to Annapolis.

Actually there are two places in MD that it is ILLEGAL to receive ammo by a non-licensee delivered to one's house, place of business, etc.. They are Montgomery county and the city of Annapolis.

Since there is a state preemption on laws concerning guns&ammo, these municipality guidelines mean nothing.

I am not supposed to get ammo delivered to my house in Annapolis? Oh the Horror!!! I guess I wont tell anybody when the brown truck drops of the OMD marked boxes.

in 85 a court case ruled that the mg county law was invalid

The MoCo issue was recently discussed here

As far as I cant find I only see retailers repeating the same ammo shipping restrictions, but can't find any laws about it. I'd talk to the city police, but I doubt they will know anything. I'm sure it's just another old law that everyone wants to CYA over.

Semi related about aimsurplus, which wont ship to MoCo or Annapolis according to their rules. http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=39052&highlight=montgomery

I am on my laptop right now, I have the docs on my desktop.

iirc, it was Atlantic Guns vs Montgomery County

MIDWAYUSA.COM ships to the door or placed in the mailbox, depending how much ammo is ordered.

Marginwalker · Apr 1, 2011

Have your friend double check his address. I have an Annapolis address but I am right outside the city line. I have had zero problems.

Thanks. I'll look into it when I get a chance. Never knew anything about this silly law.

The Gnome · Apr 1, 2011

I live in the city and have never had an issue receiving ammunition for more than 30 years.

Could you elaborate on that?

Wondering if it has anything to do with Atlantic Guns being included in respect to NOT being able to receive ammo shipped to them; meaning a licensed firearms dealer in MoCo was or was not exempt from the MoCo law.

Basically the law that monkey county passed required your firearms to be registered to buy ammo, you could only by them in the caliber that matched your registered guns, and buy the ammo at a store with proof of gun registration in that caliber.

That meant no shipping ammo to the county......

I am moving, but when I get the time I'll post the court docs.
