Hi all, I did a search of the forums for various combinations of armor piercing stuff and incindiary stuff and haven't been able to turn up anything on this subject, maybe I'm not looking correctly as I've been focuse on "legal".
I found a website here that seems to say that AP ammo is pretty much free of federal laws, with the exceptions of importation and making, making defined as swaging or otherwise creating the projectile itself.
I am a little fuzzy on the issue of a .308 bullet being considered AP while a 30-06 (same projectile) is not, but that isn't the issue.
I haven't done an extensive search for incindiary rounds yet, but tracer ammo seems to also be free of federal interference.
As I live in Louisiana, I don't think state firearm laws will be an issue but I will look into it after I'm done digging around in federal laws.
Basically, is it a violation of current federal law to own/purchase/sell/shoot/load either AP, incendiary, or AP incendiary ammunition? Does anyone have any good info to refer me to on this topic. I'm interested in acquiring some and it all seems to be availible from suppliers on the net, but I want to make sure that I don't need some type of FFL or tax stamp before I even think about purchasing it.
Logically, there doesn't seem to be any problem with owning it, specially the AP, but logic and law don't often find eachother.
And before anyone asks me why I would like it??? because it's cooooooool!
thanks all, I'll be waiting patiently for NavyLT to jump on and school me on federal firearms laws, lol.
