New Maryland Ammo Restriction??

DucksRFlyin · Jul 26, 2020

Did something recently go into effect ? I just tried to order on OpticsPlanet and this is what I got? Never had issues receiving ammo before..

OpticsPlanet does not currently support sales of ammunition to a number of locations, including, but not limited to, the following:

Alaska
California
Connecticut
Hawaii
Illinois
Maryland
Massachusetts
New Jersey
New York
Washington, D.C
P.O. Boxes; U.S. Territories

Optics Planet isn't the greatest dealer on a good day. I avoid them when possible. As for legality, it's just them making stuff up. Other dealers have no issues shipping ammo to MD.

Nothing new, or illegal about shipping ammo to Maryland.

No Optic's Planet is just being stupid.

Here is a list of the companies I have ordered from that will ship ammo to Maryland. I know there are a lot more.

Target Sports USA
Brownells
Palmetto State Armory
Underwood Ammo

Optics Planet is horrible. I wouldn't order from them with your money.

Pretty sure midway just sent me a big box of ammo in the day. I found it when I got home from work.

LuckyGunner not only ships to MD but to here in MoCo with no problem.

It’s premature but I expect to see the same restrictions here as in California. They can’t take the guns away but they can make our life as unpleasant as possible. When Trump wins and prices come down/availability gets better, use the next 4 years to prepare accordingly.

That's a pretty bad reference.

Or a good heads up.

woodline · Jul 26, 2020

My guess is that it has to do with whatever MoCo’s deal is regarding ammo. I never understood it, so I will not try to explain it, but I have bought a lot of ammo online. Most retailers I have purchased from have a blurb about not shipping some or all kinds of ammo to MoCo. Optics Planet is basically a drop shipper with some stock on hand, so they are already not set up to be very good at anything. I could imagine they would just refuse to do business with Maryland as opposed to taking 5 minutes to copy what their competitors are doing. Or maybe Frosh sent out some random Cease and Desist letters to major 2A related retailers and they just decided it wasn’t worth the trouble.

That’s my guess anyway. And it is highly likely to be worth exactly what you paid for it.

My guess it's just somebody at optics planet making poor business decisions based on poor reasoning. I stopped shopping there last year.

And that's exactly how to properly deal with suppliers who make poor business decisions based on poor reasoning.

Buy elsewhere.

Optics Planet was just bought by a new company about two years ago. They screwed my orders up twice so I will not purchase anything from them again.

On a good note, a used to be reloading distributor has expanded to selling guns ammo, gun parts etc. Midsouth Shooters Supply is a great company to do business with and run pretty good sales from time to time.

Unfortunately Trump can do nothing about the idiots in the MGA who will continue to chip away at our rights. I have not doubt that this will include ammo restrictions in the near future.

Ammo restrictions in Md?

Is there any ammo avail to purchase?

Sounds like an oxymoron.....

I had a less-than-ideal experience with Optics Planet and have never gone back since. Conspiracy theory: Maybe some anti-firearms IT geek is inputing false information on their web site.

No, its just laziness and we don't care about small markets (which is part of laziness).
