Hey guys, I tried searching for the answer, but couldn't find what I was looking for, so please bear with me...

 

I was wondering if it is 100% legal to buy ammo online and have it shipped to my home in NJ? Are there ANY restrictions?

Yes it is. Most of us do it. I am not aware of any restrictions. I know I can buy my .22 LR and 9 MM online with no problems.

It is illegal for you to take possession of ammunition inside the state of NJ if that ammunition can be used in a handgun and you do not have a firearms purchaser ID. This would preclude ordering it online since you would be taking possession of it inside the state.

 

There are no laws against possessing Incendiary and tracer ammo but it's illegal to shoot unless you're in Law enforcement. I'm not clear on the legality of rubber bullets.

 

Those boutique shotgun shells are all legal as far as I know.

 

Other than those restrictions, yes it is 100% legal to buy ammo online and have it shipped to your home.

Thanks guys. Any particular sources you guys recommend? Also, my local shop sold me some Winchester white box 9mm, and they seem to be ok with my glock19. Any other brands I can look at that are not low quality and will hurt the gun but are even cheaper?

Online ammo retailers that will ship to NJ:

edit - double post removed.

Cabelas just shipped me 1000 rounds of 45 and 9mm, GTG.

I like Natchezss because I find the site easiest to sort for the ammo I want.

 

If you order it before noon, you'll have it in 2 days. The only issue with them is shipping...the first box of ammo is $15 but each subsequent box is cheap, so you need to buy at least 10 boxes to make it worthwhile.

 

I've also ordered from Midwest, Cabelas and Cheaper than dirt. The main issue is that for any of the online retailers you have to compare the shipping charges and no tax to buying local with tax. I've found that it can go either way. For larger quantities of 500+ rounds, you can find a great price online then get crushed with the shipping so those $5 shipping coupons come in very handy.

G19? Buy yourself some cheapo steel-cased wolf and go nuts. That block will eat anything.

Pretty much any ammo will run through it. WWB isn't actually that cheap. Look for PMC Bronze, Federal AE, CCI Blazer (brass & aluminum), etc.

I keep reading lots of ranges don't allow Wolf steel rounds specifically, although I don't know the reason. I have also heard lots of complaints with CCI. I will try the other two though.

Ranges don't want it because they can't make any money off scrapping your cases. If your range allows it, it's a great option for you.

Yeah it all depends on your range. Where do you go to?

I order most my ammo through BULK AMMO or AIMSURPLUS , or who ever else might have the best prices at that time.

 

Most places will require you to fax/email them a copy of your FID card and drivers license before they will ship it.

 

good luck

If your FPID card has your SS # on it (mine does), make sure to redact it before sending to a vendor.

Maybe you have an old FID card, Bob - cuz I don't see SS# anywhere on mine!

I'd try to find a new range if your range doesn't allow it. Complete nonsense.

LOL then BH & SS wouldn't have any business

Mine has it on it, I got this one about 15 years ago. The new ones don't
