Just got this response from a dealer whome I was trying to buy ammo from...very disscouraging....This DA has become too big for his britches.
Blain,
not sure about the status of your order... marlene is gone for the day.
I wanted to address your question about the ammo sales to Mass.
Several weeks ago a friend of ours(fellow ammo dealer)
got a letter from your states attorney general advising him that he had been
involved in a "Sting" operation, where they had purchased ammunition from
him mail order. he was advised that he could not lawfully sell ammunition
into mass by mail order.
in subsequent phone conversations he was told that they thought he was
probably a good person, that he had only this one incident with them, and
they would be willing to reduce the charges, and accept a civil penalty of
$5000.
my friend feels like he is being "shaken down"
when you are a small business person, a states attorney general can be very
intimidating.
we have put ammo sales to mass on hold till we find out more..
this is all very recent, and yes we should have a disclaimer on the web
site.
(will be done soon)
sorry for the aggravation.
Regards,
Dan Kovalcik
