I'm in CT right now and I just tried to order a new stock for one of my 10/22's...

Seriously, If I were in your shoes, I'd just stay in GA year-round and stay out of CT for more than just a quick visit.

CT is bad, and worse under the current governor. I keep a PO Box in NH for "an emergency" just like the one described here. Also, think about having a credit card with your out of State PO Box address. And it wouldn't hurt to take a different route each time you go to check your mail. We really live in strange times.
Do realize that this was just a stupid vendor. That stock is legal in CT. Yeah. I know CT sucks. But That is the simple truth.
During the post Newtown panic, I had a hard time finding reloading components locally and wanted to buy some mail order. Nobody would ship to MA, so I got a NH PO box. I no longer have it. But it worked out well.
Re your credit card. Some vendors require the billing address of the CC to be in a free state also. This is VERY VERY easy to work around. Most CC vendors allow you to change your billing address online, on their website.
When I ordered something to my PO box in NH, I was literally able to change the CC address to the NH PO box just before shopping. Then once I did my shopping, I logged back in and changed it back to my home.
Please realize that the intent here is to be able to buy things that are LEGAL for you to possess in MA, but vendors just won't ship there. For example, Palmetto State Armory won't ship an upper to MA. Its perfectly legal, but they won't ship.
People shouldn't use something like this to circumvent the law. Its fraught with risk.
All these poor slaves who stay in the two states with the highest incomes. And then whine, whine, whine.CT sucks. Nuff said. Not that MA is much better.
You're right. It IS the vendor, but it's the vendor complying with what they see as CT law. I HAVE one of those stocks already that I ordered from that same company, that they shipped to me in CT a couple of years ago. I like it so much that I want the SAME stock.
I've got one set up that I've been taking back and forth to shoot in GA and CT. I won one in a raffle, a while ago and I was planning on building it out this summer in CT. Now I'll just ship the parts home and build it out there.

It is a decision that they would rather lose the business than pay legal fees to learn the law, and quite possibly, pay legal fees or agree to a consent decree as a result of groundless, but expensive, persecution.It is a decision that they'd rather lose LAWFUL business than take the time to learn the laws.

I know one MA dealer who responds to customers explaining "No risk, the AG is wrong, sell me that gun" with "Fine. If there is no risk, I assume you will sign a contract indemnifying me for any all legal fees, fines, and assessments imposed if the AG disagrees with your legal scholarship.". Nobody has taken him up on that offer.
Nope. Not really. Its the vendor making the business decision to not bother doing business in CT, because its not worth their time to try to figure out the laws.
It is NOT compliance. It is a decision that they'd rather lose LAWFUL business than take the time to learn the laws. Which is of course fine. Its their decision.
Who’s talking about income? This is a gun thread on a gun forum. CT and MA gun laws suck. Are you disputing this?All these poor slaves who stay in the two states with the highest incomes. And then whine, whine, whine.
Ct is not part of New England, fact. Ask anyone around.I love New England Spring and Fall.

Idiot or not, the fact remains that CT is not part of New England. Even the Subaru of New England commercials on tv don’t include ct on the map of New England. It’s settled law!!Well, that's just stupid. I'm pretty sure my ancestors who washed ashore in Guilford in 1670 as English planters would agree that you're an idiot. And my 13 Connecticut ancestors who fought from Bunker Hill to West Point and Yorktown would agree. But that said, Conn. (the way we abbreviated it before you were born) is in a sorry state. And it is now a sorry state. But it is the Constitution State, and I'm not going to give up on it yet. I just prefer to live somewhere else until it sees the light.

That's because Subaru of N.Y. serves the TriState area. Nothing to do with whether or not CT is traditionally considered part of New EnglandIdiot or not, the fact remains that CT is not part of New England.
