I regularly see references to the fact that there is "no law prohibiting the sales / shipping of ammo to Massachusetts". Now I've had several conversations with mail order distributors and too many continue to refuse to sell / ship ammo to Mass. They'll sell / ship C&R rifles and handguns directly to my home...but no ammo.
Anyways, I was reading a blurb on the ammunition page of the Four Season's website and it said that shipping ammo in Massachusetts is illegal. I assume this references a Mass licensed ammo retailer selling and then shipping ammunition to a Mass resident. And this is due to the requirement of a permit or FID card to legally purchase ammunition.
I'm always looking out for something to toss up to out of state distributors in an effort to convince them to sell / ship to Mass. Everyone seems to recall the $5,000 fines issued by the AG years ago when their office blanket ordered ammo from every source they could find and waited to see who shipped then just stuck their name on the violation and fined them for selling without a Mass License to sell Ammunition.
