Anyone know which states sell ammunition to NY Residents?

[mgunner]

Just wondering. I know some states require some sort of permit or something? Anyone know anything about this?

there is no ammo sent to NYS

your gunna have to drive to PA or another free state to buy it

without a backgound check

and paying a fee too

So PA is the only state? How about Connecticut or Massachusetts?

I believe Connecticut Requires a permit for in person sales . But it's not that hard to get a non resident permit.

Pack a lunch and take a nice drive into PA, pic a spot with a nice view, enjoy your lunch, fill your trunk and enjoy your day!

Excepting age limits, the following states have restrictions/rules on ammo purchase:

NY and CA: BG checks
CT, IL, MA, NJ: require some type of permission card (FOID, etc.)

The other 44 States of the Union don't give a fuck if you're a NY resident.

I'll look into that as an option.

I was thinking of doing that. Just want to see what my options are. Thanks for the info.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I plan to head there.

In Connecticut I'm pretty sure you need a pistol permit to buy any pistol caliber ammo. Although it's been a long time since I've purchased ammo in a store so I'm not 100% sure on that.

Connecticut state laws are more restrictive than most other states. In Connecticut, you cannot buy ammo without a handgun carry permit, gun sales permit, or long-gun/handgun eligibility certificate. Ammunition certificates are issued by the state's Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection.

The cool thing about buying ammunition in New Hampshire is the state owns the liquor stores and there is no tax on liquor. A bottle Balvenie 12 year old single malt Scotch is $90 here in NYS, $65 in New Hampshire.

If you're planning to do repeated purchases, CT isn't such a bad option. And although yes they're restrictive, they also have by law a limit on responding to your CCW non-resident permit app, which is 90 days! It sucks as an after thought because you want it now, and I'm not one for rules, lol. But call the CT State Police and ask for an app, if permitted in NY you'll get you're CCW within 90 days and as noted it includes the ability to purchase ammo. They do provide a separate Ammo Purchase permit, but why chump change it, go for the Brass Ring!

Good Luck!
