Smith and Wesson (S&W) has been offering a rebate on some of its firearms. The interesting note is that magazines and ammo can NOT be sent to the following states:

Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York

With the exception of Alaska (Don't know why that state will not allow shipment of mags & ammo), all of the states listed are known to be hotbeds of radical, leftist ideology. The ad confirms that fact. Those states are the enemy of conservative ideology.

Those folks need to be strangled financially until they change their attitudes or self-deport. Just such an ad shows from where the wrong-headed ideology is coming. Also, was told at a major gun shop this evening that someone's relative is in the Navy and was sent to some fleet event up around New York and while ashore was screamed at by people simply because their boss is Donald Trump (in charge of the military). That stuff is not being reported by the useless, incompetent, compromised, propagandist media which shows that they too, are the enemy.

Probably because Alaska is out in BFE and certain items like ammo can't be flown on planes or on cargo ships?

Unless you wanna drive 3,000+miles through the mountainous and icy Yukon wilderness and then through the same terrain in Alaska.

Liberals always hate the Armed Forces. They're just using Trump being President as a cover for them openly expressing this hatred.

Thanks for posting this.

NP. It is significant news.

[TigersEye]

I put banglist in the keywords. You should have.

[Cowgirl]

Alaska’s not that conservative.

I have had ammo shipped to me in Alaska and you are correct. You have to pay an exorbitant hazardous materials shipping fee because it travels on a plane

[gnarledmaw]

"...and while ashore was screamed at by people simply because their boss is Donald Trump..."

Yes but Im sure he understood that those people were furkin wee tots.

Liberals just dont understand the things they scream. One of my daughters was preforming at the state fair. Afterwards we went to a sea lion show (itself a liberal environmental show). As the sea lion show ended a liberal woman exiting the show starts yelling, "Its cruel to keep animals in captivity! Set them all free!" and other such things all the while carrying 2 six packs of cream puffs in her hands.

Yep, Alaska & Hawaii are off the hook in this case due to DOT regs....no UPS/FedEx/USPS ammo shipments to Alaska/Hawaii. (I believe it gets there in bulk by boat freight in both cases?).

Do posters on Free Republic have a monopoly on acronyms and jargon? BFE?

[Drago]

Think “really far away, out in nowhere”....but if you really must know, here is the link for the definition (link/def. is “NSFW”): http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=BFE

[Beagle8U]

BFE= Bum F’ed Egypt.

It means...out in the middle of nowhere.

Unless you wanna drive 3,000+miles through the mountainous and icy Yukon wilderness and then through the same terrain in Alaska.

The trip is half the fun. Through the grand prairie and grain fields of Alberta, to the stunning vistas of mountains in British Columbia and the Yukon. Wildlife from prairie dogs to mountain sheep. If you are really lucky you might see bison and bears.

Alaska will take your breath away. You may fall in love with it and never leave. Many have..

Canada does have some restrictions on firearms and ammo, but it is their country. Check with them and follow their rules and you will not have any trouble.

[bravo whiskey]

if the magazine is 15 rounds or less it is legal in Colorado. i buy ammo on line all the time and Fedex leaves it on my porch.

Banned in Mass. made in Mass. Go figure.

[Vermont Lt]

I wonder if I could go and pick it up?

[SkyDancer]

I read where that company that makes those fifty caliber rifles refuse to sell to any CA police department.

[dljordan]

Colorado is on the list because of a nasty New York city, Bloomberg toady transplant who got recalled.

Until recently my Dad used to ship .22LR's to a friend in GA via UPS. All that was needed on the box was this:

That was it. Went ground UPS.
