Selling ammo in MA

[CAESAR]

Look at the second post of GOAL.... seems that anyone sells ammo here on the forum is a criminal?

Sorry, copy/pasting the text would not work. As some said in the comments, give them the ammo but sell them the box.

GOAL is correct but good lord I can’t imagine anyone has ever been prosecuted for it. With so many people selling ammo they’ll (cops etc) be busy...

You don't understand the point of this. Like comrade Stalin said "everyone should have a personal file"...

Im not a criminal. I give ammo to friends that need it as a gift. They just return the favor when I need it or they have a surplus. The way God intended

 

[drgrant]

Strictly speaking you need an ammo sales license but I've never heard of a flipper getting bagged for it.... probably because even in Mass the court optics of prosecuting one LTC holder selling occasionally to another one don't really look that good....

I never sell ammo,I give it for free. Many times people overpay me for the coffee I bring though

 

[Tinkermatic]

Not just a criminal, a SMOOTH criminal.

 

[Mtn_Guy]

The ammo is free, but the delivery charge is about equivalent to a $1/round

What if you weren't "selling" it.
Perhaps you just bought it in advance for the other guy and he's just paying you back.

I have purchased ammo off of law enforcement. I don't think any of them are aware of this law. Lol

I remember asking Glidden about this many years ago. He made a funny face and asked why I was even asking about it. That section of law is for dealers, not someone randomly disposing of some surplus ammo. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Love GOAL and support them, but a couple of their posts lately . . .

A cop that doesn't know the law? Absolutely unbelievable.

Lol far more believable is one that knows but simply doesnt give a shit because they think its a stupid f***ing law.

I would have to agree, I don't know if I would be highlighting this all over social media for everyone to see. Stuff like this gives the other side bad ideas.

Consummate the transaction at one of the Granite State's convenient roadside ammo-exchanges.
Easy-on/easy-off.

Don't.

Doubt it. Cops aren't lawyers; Their job isn't to know the intricacies of ammo transfer laws. They just have to crack some skulls then enjoy immunity when they're wrong.

Albino 6 door Nissan Frontier? Seriously, what’s the chance of catching one of them on camera?

Ammo straw purchase? It MUST be a thing in MA.

Makes sense. The State has to clear a pretty high hurdle if it wants to ban private citizens from selling their personal property to other citizens.

Wish Mike Sweeney was still there.

That's just like that college kid who got hit with issues for selling sandwiches on campus without a food/health license. Changed it up to "oh, I'm just selling napkins and giving away sandwiches" to skirt the law and put a giant "FU" to the man. Priceless.

That’s a great move!

Likewise lol along with plenty of other items that are questionable on legality, but there's also lots of cops that are closeted 2nd amendment supporters/gun nerds and don't give a shit about the gun laws, just because a cop sells something to you doesn't make it legal though.

No one is selling ammo, they are charging for the box and the delivery fee.

I know of a MD who plays that game - "I am not balance billing for my surgery, but I will not do the surgery without a patient paid consult with me for $1500 which is not covered by Medicare, and I caution the patients not to submit a claim or attempt to get Medicare reimbursement for that charge. Your actual surgery will be at the Medicare rate."
