I just called to place an order for a handgun from CDNN. This would have been sent to my FFL dealer, and was a handgun which comes with 10 round magazines, which are perfectly legal in NY. After going through a bunch of the process with them locating my account and such, the person I was speaking to informed me that CDNN will no longer sell handguns to NY. I explained that the only limitation there would be would be ten round magazines, and since I was ordering a pistol which came with ten round magazines that would not be an issue, and was informed that they can't be bothered to try to keep track of different restrictions or what the restrictions are, so they simply decided to not sell ANY handguns to NY. As far as I'm concerned, their disinterest in making the minimal effort it would take on their part to put something into their software or let their operators know that only handguns with 10 round or less magazines can be sold to NY shows that they really are not interested in serving their customers or doing business with NY in general. The operator quickly pointed out that they would sell me a rifle and asked wasn't there some long gun I might wish to purchase instead--there's some nerve! Maybe it's just me, but I am unwilling even if it's a deal to buy something from a company who is labeling me persona non grata in any respect just because of the state I am from. I hope others will join me and will send emails or letters explaining why they will no longer do business with a company who doesn't value that business enough to put themselves to any effort.
Now, you may say that we might as well take what we can get and why shouldn't you take that deal on a rifle or shotgun, because maybe you don't buy handguns, so what's it to you. But more and more NY'ers are up against it because more and more online businesses will simply not do business with ny--no ammo sales, no handgun sales--soon enough it may well be no sales whatsoever. We in NY are being strangled and prices here are higher than elsewhere because of it, and that is EXACTLY what the Powers That Be here want! Stand up and start letting vendors know that they will not be receiving ANY of your dollars if they can not stand up for us. By caving in this fashion they are helping the anti's, and in the long run they are cutting their own throats, because this sort of thing just spreads. Right now they may sell we don't sell to CA and NY and MA and MD and NJ...how many more will it be and how many states can they afford to write off? :banghead:
