I am curious if anyone knows something concrete about this.
Lets say I am a dealer in Ga. and I carry Dragons Breath ammo. I ship all over the place. It is, however illegal in Florida. What do I do? Now, some dealers say "this product cannot be shipped to the following states .. ... ..." and they won't ship. Other dealers say "it is the responsibility of the purchaser to be sure that they can legally own blah blah" and they ship and leave it to the purchaser. I was talking to a big manufacturer today and he ships his product everywhere. He said that the ICC rules say that as long as the product is legal federally, you can leave it to the purchaser to determine if they are allowed to buy. Can't find that rule or any reference to the subject. As a practical matter, it is simply not possible for a dealer to know every rule in every municipality where they might ship. California is a good example. They have all sorts of rules that address the same thing from different state agencies. Without a lawyer you simply cannot be sure. So, does anyone know? I would like a reference to law or to something official. Personally, I think that the purchaser has to be responsible but that is just a guess. |
| They can't hit you with criminal charges for shipping it, since it's legal at the federal and your state level. The question you have to ask is if you may be sued civilly by that state or city you're sending the goods. CA and NY are the only ones that really play those games. |
