In most states (but not all), it is legal to order ammunition online and have it shipped to your home. You MUST check the laws and regulations of your state and locality. In some cities and/or states, it’s ILLEGAL for ammunition to be purchased online with the intent of shipping across state lines. In California, for example, all ammunition must be purchased through a licensed ammo vendor/dealer with a background check from the state (so much so for the Second Amendment*). Washington DC and Hawaii also do not allow online ammunition sales. New York City also has restrictions. There are many shipping regulations in Alaska that affect ammo deliveries made online. Many vendors don’t ship to Alaska because of these regulations. *Ammo can sometimes be purchased online by an out-of state seller, who will ship it to an authorized California vendor. The California vendor may then transfer the ammo with a fee and background checks required by CA law.
