Shipping ammo

[chalee 0]

My brother lives in a different state his birthday is coming up. He wants ammo. I just got buch from a bulk order. Am I allowed to ship it to him? What are the laws reguarding this?

There are certain places that do not allow it.

 

First I think it must be shipped UPS ground. DO NOT use the USPS.

NYC, Maryland, Washington DC and Parts of California do not allow ammo to be sent. (There may be more). Easiest way to be sure is to check an online ammo site and see if they will ship to your desired address.

He's in Missouri he's ordered ammo by mail so it's legal for him to get it, I'm more concerned that it's legal for me to SEND it. It's JHP so technically in NJ if it's not at my dwelling for home protection and unless I'm transporting it to or from the range or the place of purchase I can't have it from what I understand. So if I'm carrying a package to ship to him, that's outside the boundaries of the law. NJ is messed up.

as far as ups is concerned, as long as it is in seperate packages (factory boxes, or smaller inner boxes) and has the words "ORM-D, Cartridges, Small Arms" on all 6 sides of the box, its ok to send via ground. USPS does not take Ammo, and It may or may not be a crime to send it through them.

 

Here is a link to a label you can print out and tape on the box. I've used this before:

It can be any color and only one needed per package. Here's one that uses less ink. CLICK HERE

I'm voting for that to be a sticky - or transferred to a repository of Useful PDF's on the forum.

Hey PK,

 

If that is true (which it probably is).. the guys at the Edison Customer Counter are wrong then. I had that one sticker printed and taped on securely on the top of the box, and after he cut open the package to "check the contents".. he handed me a magic marker and made me write on all sides of the box.

Did you ever have ammo delivered to you? There is only one label attached.

I can confirm this. One ORM-D label per box.

Here is a page with good explanation and links. Everything said so far be coldsolderjoint and PK90 is correct. This just adds some details and references.

Yeah, that's true. One time, I got it from Aim, and it was hand written in marker right next to the address label.

 

That guy at Edison always breaks my balls when shipping guns. Maybe I'll start going up to Bound Brook.

edison is a hassle - if you have time just ask him to show you the regulation in his manual , if he refuses ask to see a supervisor ! -
