After reading the thread about this company's refusal to ship ammo to one of our brothers I sent an e-mail. This is thier reply:
Hello Mr. Morris,
Thanks for your email. We recently reviewed our restrictions for counties,
cities, states, and zip codes. We are unable to ship ammunition to Illinois
because that particular state requires a F.O.I. card (Fire Owner
Identification) to purchase ammunition or firearms.
Residents of that state can go to a gun dealer and the dealer will be able
to positively identify this person with the card. Since we can not see the
card or verify if this is the correct person, we have decided to not ship
these products to Illinois. Yes, the customer can send us a copy but, we do
not know that the card wasn't revoked prior to or after it was sent.
We here at The Sportsman's Guide hope that in the near future the laws will
be changed or possibly standardized so that all of our customers, in all
states can be treated as equals.Best Wishes,Angel V.WebAdmin
