Arbitrary sales policy

I ordered some 45acp ammo from Kielsersonline over the weekend. Today I get a phone call and a e mail that they no longer sell ammo to residents of NYS. [?] I called to ask about this and they say they were fined by the state of MA last year.[?][?][?] So I ask what that has to do with sales to NYS. I never really did get an answer, just alot of BS about NYS gun laws, none of which have anything to do with ammunition sales or for that matter firearms sales. I guess they just don't want the business. Oh well ignorance is bliss, and expensive bliss at that since I was considering asking them for a price quote on ammo for my PD...

Maybe some of those citizens should get outraged enough to run the bad guys outta town? Maybe even organize a civil action?
Naah, that just smacks of effort, and besides, it never comes down to just one voice.

If all the pro-gun people in commie states did this, I'm sure it would have some noticeable effect on the state's tax base, and they might lose enough of their population to affect the number of Congressmen they get.

Just goes to show how bad it can get; when companies refuse to do business with residents of a state that oppresses gun owners in order to cover their own a$$e$ from lawsuits and potential liabilities, the citizens are the ones that get the short end of that stick.

As you discovered, the folks at Kiesler's are generally a bunch of jerks. The shop where I used to work gave up trying to deal with these people. After a have dozen attempts to purchase things, we just gave up. If you look around a little harder, you will find that Kiesler's can't do anything for you that a good local shop can't. For example, Kiesler's is supposed to be one of the few Sig Law Enforcement dealers in my area. Well, on one occasion we tried to purchase a few mags for a local department and on another we tried to purchase about 50 pistols and 300 mags. Both efforts proved fruitless with Kiesler's. We looked a little harder and found better prices with other wholesalers. If you're looking ammo for your department, you local gun shop can probably help and at a good price. Explain who you are and exactly what you want in terms of caliber and quantity and manufacturer. A good dealer will be willing to settle for a small mark up compared to regular prices in the hope of getting more of your business and the desire to help the local PD. Since you're in NYS, the dealer probably has an account with ______ in Rochester and can get it shipped in a day or two. Best of luck -- Steve
When guns were invented everything changed. For the first time in the history of the world a frail woman had a chance to sucessfully defend herself and home. My dream is that one of the anti-gun nuts will need a gun for defense and be unable to have one because of their own actions.
