[MACHINIST]

I have someone that wants some of my old hevishot,he made me a offer and I would like to know if I can ship it out of state?I know I have done it before but all this new SAFE ACT crap has me wondering.

I don't know but the answer is prolly on the safe act website under the FAQ

I didn't find much help when I checked that out......pretty much just covered business sales of ammo, unless I missed it.

Private sale is legal, but must comply with any rules of the carrier you are using. I bet it is going to really add to the price to ship it.

U.S. Postal service will not ship ammo, I just shipped via UPS and they said it's totally legal.

Same thing I saw.Doesnt really state what a private person can do.I will be stopping by the UPS main branch later today to ask them and let you all know.

UPS will ship ammo for you from one of their HUB locations, (not a UPS store) as long as it's in a box labeled:

 

"ORM-D Small Arms Ammunition"  and declared as such when you ship it.

 

The SAFE Act didn't address anything about shipping ammo OUT of NY.  I would assume they want ALL ammo shipped OUT of NY.

The Safe Act Ammo provision states that it covers COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS ONLY.  It only effects licensed sellers of ammo.

it would be nice to have them say there is no restriction on transfer of ammo between private parties...........I was wondering at what point do they consider you a "seller" of ammo?

Seems to me that the 'law' is Intentionally vague in its wording, probably hoping to scare people away from doing anything regarding ammo. Comply with the shipper's regulations and don't worry about it, IMO.

I haven't found anyone who actually knows what the current law is, including attorneys, LEO's, and politicians. If anyone has a definitive answer, I'd love to hear it. 'Open to interpretation' has been the most common response that I've heard.

That 'message of necessity' gets thinner and weaker every day, doesn't it?

I would bet if you are making a profit at it you are screwed.

"we need this right away" yet most provisions have been delayed in the roll out

Just talked to them at the Syracuse hub and they said no problem as long as I declare what it is when I ship it

[moog5050]

Ship it machinist.  It would be a huge stretch to argue you are a commercial seller of ammo. 

[MACHINIST]

yup.its going

[Terry]

This has been a very helpful thread. Thanks Machinist!

[Terry]

Machinist, will the "Ship it" store in Fulton ship it or do I need to go through an actual UPS place?

[MACHINIST]

You need to go through a ups main hub

[Terry]

Gotcha. That's a huge pain!

   People selling drugs on the streets all day & night!  I would think a box of shells isn't any different & much healthier & its drug free!  ( all BS)
