  • California Residents: The case Duncan v. Becerra, (Case No.: 3-17-CV-1017-BEN-JLB) focuses on the constitutionality of CA’s magazine ban. On November 30, 2021, the full (en banc) 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed an earlier ruling from the court that overturned CA’s magazine ban. Plaintiffs have made statements that the November 30th ruling will be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

  • Pittsburg Residents: On April 2, 2019, the city of Pittsburgh, PA passed a city ordinance banning the use of magazines in public spaces. The ordinance includes a prohibition on sales of magazines over 10 rounds but due to state preemption laws, this section will not go into effect until such a ban is made permissible by the State Supreme Court or General Assembly.

FIREARMS RESTRICTIONS:

Specific types of firearms may be restricted or outright prohibited in your area, we can not list every restriction due to the constant changes made by legislators. It is your responsibility to know your local laws. Firearms deemed "assault weapons" are prohibited for sale to individuals (law enforcement officers may or may not be exempt, direct agency sales are always exempt) in states such as California, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. 

Firearms, suppressors, receivers, actions, and frame sales are regulated by federal law and require an FFL to ship. Such orders will be held until we verify your FFL. Valid FFL requirements are as follows: A current copy with an original signature! 
If it has been changed or altered in any way it will be considered invalid.
FFL purchases will only be sent to the address on the FFL - no exceptions.
We will keep your FFL on file until it expires, at which time you will need to send a renewed copy.
