A while back there was a thread about the rather amusing shipping policies of Sportsman's Guide catalog outlet.
In that thread, I took one of SG's catalogs, and did a page-by-page analysis of the "restricted shipping" decisions issued by SG's legal department.
Here's the thread.

Well, I got a new SG shooting supplies catalog today, and noticed some interesting changes.
While the old SG catalog listed several kinds of leather holsters as "restricted shipping" items (see old thread above) apparently the legal eagles of SG have decided to get wild and crazy, and put themselves at extreme risk in this catalog.
I could not find a single holter, leather or otherwise, that is listed as a "restricted shipping" item. Apparently anyone, including residents of MA and convicted felons can now order holsters from SG. My, my....how things change.
However, be relieved that SG's legal deparment is still working overtime to protect SG's corporate butt....uh, I mean uphold state law and be a good corporate citizen.
Here are some highlights of SG's "restricted shipping" items from the latest catalog.
If you live in CA, and want to order the 6.5 hp generator on page 123 of the current SG catalog, sorry, but that item cannot be shipped to CA.
If you want to buy the Swiss bayonet on page 121, but you live in CO, CT, or various counties in CA, sorry, but you are out of luck. SG is doing its part to eliminate drive-by-bayonetings in those jurisdictions.
If live in MA or CA or NYC, you will have to pine away in vain if a Mauser Hinged Trigger Guard is on your wish-list.
If you live in MA or NC, you cannot, under any circumstances order the crossbow listed on page 104 of the catalog. However, if you live in MA or NC, you can order all the crossbow bolts you wish...probably an oversight on the part of SG's legal eagles.
Laser boresighters are verboten in NYC.
Thompson vertical foregrips are out of the question for residents of MA, CA, and NYC. Got to keep those dangerously-shaped pieces of wood out of the wrong hands, you know.
And finally, in the interest of national security, saving the whales, and preventing the one-world-UN-government consipracy, SG is making sure that none of the crazy residents of MA get their bloody hands on "Realistic Reproduction Japanese Cleaning Rods."
No telling what those insane MA residents might do with an Arisaka cleaning rod, you know.
But I thought you might enjoy the latest from Sportsman's Guide.
