Mail order ammo in Ohio?

[redneck]

Hey guys
I've been thinking about buying some of the bulk ammo/reloads that are available from places like Cabelas, and some online vendors. Don't have the time to handload right now (don't even have time to shoot much right now ) but I don't like spending $20 a box in town either.
Are there any legal issues involved with buying mail order ammo in Ohio? We're one of the states listed under the warnings/exceptions on Cabelas website. I was under the impression that things like tracer ammo were illegal in some states, but wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else I should know about before ordering.They list Ohio on all types of ammo, not just the novelty stuff. All I really want right now is .243win varmint loads

I buy ammo and components all of the time from Midway, Sportsman's Guide, Cheaper Than Dirt, AIM, and other smaller places.

I also order ammo all the time from Midway. They don't list any restrictions on ammo sales to Ohio.

I order ammo from cabelas and midway. However, some cities in Ohio restrict ammo sales. Here's a link to some info, but I'm not sure if it's complete.

I particularly like Cincinatti's restriction on hangun ammo..

708-17. Sale of Handgun Ammunition. No
person shall sell handgun ammunition to any
purchaser with whom the seller is not personally
acquainted unless such purchaser is identified
by a person with whom the seller is personally
acquainted

Who writes this stuff?

Yeah I can see it now..

"Hi. I'm Bob and I'd like to buy some ammo"
"Hi Bob, I'm Joe. Now that we're aquainted, how much do you need?"

Making Cincinatti safer through incredibly stupid legislation.

Try these nice folks. They are in Ohio.

John sells at gunshows all over the area, and even in NC. Great guy, and his prices can't usually be beat. Might even be near you. Worth a try.
