I'm not in Annapolis, but never heard of this.

Law from many years ago that was nullified by state pre-emption. It's not enforceable, but some vendors treat it as if it was.

I've seen that more than once on different sites. I've seen Montgomery County listed as well

Im not exactly sure but here is an older discussion from here.

And Annapolis city proper's law is preempted by state law, so has no enfrocement ability.

Anglers has an Annapolis address and they have plenty of ammo.

I saw that yesterday. In the next few years I am thinking about buying in Columbia (I grew up here and love the area), Crofton (would be very convenient to work, depending on where I'd be in biking or even walking distance), or Annapolis (I love Annapolis and miss living there). Seeing that on their website, I will avoid anyplace with an Annapolis mailing address so I can still buy cheaper and harder to find ammo than if I had to buy in person.

Even if you live in Annapolis, it’s perfectly legal to buy it online and have it shipped to your house. Not against the law, not even a little.

True, but it doesn't help you with retailers who don't realize MD has state preemption and shipping ammo to Annapolis is actually legal. Palmetto State Armory isn't the only one that won't ship there, and I do often buy ammo through them.

If I decide I want to live in Annapolis, finding a place with a Cape St. Claire, Severna Park or Arnold mailing address, but in the Annapolis area, won't be that hard.

Correct. That does not stop the seller from making their own interpretation of the law. I had an Annapolis rural address for over 35 yrs. Never had an issue. However my friend who lives in downtown Annapolis has been denied several times. He just chooses different sellers now. You can't convince them to change their ways. They will choose what is best for their business.

He just chooses different sellers now.

To a degree it is a rational business decision .

We live here . and regularly get befuddled by Maryland laws . If you're an online sell , look at the ATF summary of gun laws , scratch your head . Figure the % of your sales shipped to Md vs retaining a lawyer to annually review Md statutes . regs .

If we didn't live here , we'ed avoid having dealings with Md whenever possible .

Another reason to reload and stock up.

My question is what authoritative document articulates the preemption that we can share with an uninformed vendor?

Welcome to the forum.

From here: https://law.justia.com/codes/maryland/2021/criminal-law/title-4/subtitle-2/section-4-209/

MD. Criminal Law Code Ann. § 4-209 (2021)

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the State preempts the right of a county, municipal corporation, or special taxing district to regulate the purchase, sale, taxation, transfer, manufacture, repair, ownership, possession, and transportation of:

(1) a handgun, rifle, or shotgun; and

(2) ammunition for and components of a handgun, rifle, or shotgun.

Thank you. I'm on a mission.

Palmetto may be quite a few things, but they are definitely not anti-2A.
