I recently tried to ship ammo only to find Fed Ex and UPS require the ammo to be shipped by an FFL to a FFL.  My FFL charges $ 20 to ship or receive.  How do you go about buying ammo on line without all these new rules.

  

And $20 is cheap compared to the charge around here, $35.  But I didn’t have to pay that charge on ammo I bought from Target Sports in Sept.  I knew UPS had changed their rules, but that company has always been anti-gun.  The new UPS rules were hashed out here a few months ago in a thread started by Mr. Dunbar.  This came about not because of new federal legislation or ATF rules, but because a few far-left Senators, only about a dozen, wrote a hysterical letter to UPS, which was only too happy to oblige. Another way to cripple exercise of the 2A, without even having to pass any new laws.  As an experiment, why don’t you try ordering from Target Sports?

So, if I order a box of ammo from Midway, Graf, Natchez and so on, they won’t send it to me, but will require I use a local FFL to receive it?

  

Let’s hope not!  Let’s hope, rather, that the dealer Jerry tried to order from imposed that requirement on their own.  After all, there are many dealers who won’t honor a C&R, & some, even, who won’t even ship an antique except to an FFL.  That’s why I suggested buying from another dealer.  Won’t take long to find out.  Huge mistake to assume dealers are your “friend.”

Just a few weeks ago I shipped 3 boxes of 401 SLR ammo to a fellow WACA member.  I went to the local UPS store but they couldn’t ship ammo because that branch did not have the “required permit” to ship ammo.

  

That so-called “required permit” is not an ATF requirement, it’s UPS pandering to the radical Senators who wrote the letter I mentioned.  Tried to dig up that previous discussion, but not smart enough to find it.
