The problem is Massachusetts, not PSA.
I wish that Palmetto State Armory and Massachusetts would just list what's legal and save us all the reading.
I'm sure it's a short list.
Ship to a friend out of state and pick it up. Problem solved.
They may not take the order if the credit card you use has a Mass billing address.
It's not a rant. I feel kind of sorry for PSA. Just reading their terms of acceptance gives me a small idea of all the crap they have to make sure that THEY are in compliance with so that THEY can stay in business.

PSA is one of those spineless businesses that grandstand that they are Pro 2a and that they'll fight the man and all that happy BS but the second there is an issue, they fold like phucking teenage girls. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire either. They are one of the only idiots who won't ship to mass. PLENTY of other bigger and better places will.
Looks like you should take your support for these douchbag business’ and put it with all your “ I’m better than you comments”. In a shiter someplace.
I don't think anyone determines where to live based on whether or not PSA will ship a charging handle to their house.The entire point is that you and dennis with your mAss entitlement attitude should take a look in the mirror and place blame where it belongs......
PSA doesnt have an obligation to make up for your dumb choice to live in the socialist paradise of mass......

What law prohibits shipments of ammunition?No, but as a gun owner you dont choose to live in a state that prohibits shipments of ammunition/etc BY LAW and THEN expect an online/out of state retailer to either break the law or incur additional risk/costs to mitigate your bad decision

Its a de facto ban
.
There is NO LAW in MA that blocks ammunition shipments. There never has been. So PSA and others are basically spineless. "because they're afraid of the AG" etc.
That aside, that's not even the problem I have with PSA. I get the "we dont want to deal with MA" thing. I have no problem with that. Fine, don't ship anything here, just be consistent with your policy. (they weren't, for a long time. )
I have problems with their shitty business practices though where they have taken this to the nth degree. and basically have made shit up as they go along. You don't leave someone strung out in the middle of a buy involving thousands of dollars worth of stuff. This wasn't a "oh we just got hit by the AG, we can't do it"
deal, either... some a**h*** got cold feet after agreeing to do it.
There's also another member here who basically got chased in the parking lot of one of their stores for having MA plates on his car. He had just bought a bunch of
ammo. He told them to go screw, they literally wanted him to come back in the store and return it. That's just f***ing cowardice, frankly... the idea that they
would refuse a transaction that's incontrovertibly legal. (this guy had an LTC, not that he needed it in that context).
f*** those people.

Combined with the fact that the Mass AG has made a point of going after out of state retailers why would anyone bother with the additional legal risks/costs?
Throw in the stupidity/illegal actions by AG......
You should ask one of the companies what the legal fees were for defending themselves in a Mass court.Whats the cost of defending the business in terms of legal fees?
The AG's tactics are doing exactly what they intended to do
Hate to break the news to you but most retailers in NH are now carding everyone trying to purchase ammunition too
I know more than one NH retailer that refuses to do business with folks from mass

"the majority"?? I purchase parts all the time from online retailers, the only problem I've had was if the actual item was in stock. And I haven't bitched about anything but you sure have. For someone who doesn't live in MA your sure know a lot about how "impossible" it is to have ammo or parts shipped to a MA address.Just not PSA and the majority of online retailers who dont want to incur risk and cost of dealing with mAss laws.
Does any of this come as a surprise to you?
I grew up in NE (not mAss) and everyone knew that mAss was a trainwreck going back 40 years......
If you dont like it then vote with your $$$ and Feet.....but dont bitch about a business that doesnt want to incur risk to their livelyhood to make up for your bad decision to live/continue to live in mAss
DPR-he has no clue what he’s talking about. He’s off searching facts in old posts to try and back peddle on the garbage he calls posts. There is no law against it like there is no law against shipping un regulated parts.
He’s a troll who likes to spew idiocy. He can’t even throw in 20 bucks to go green.
