Can anyone supply a list of states where a BP gun must go to an FFL holder?

[ZUG]

I think we can add the Commifonia to that list. Semper Fi

This statement is not true -- get your facts straight before you post incorrect info

 

[ZUG]

You can immediately say, CA, NJ, NY, all those anti-states! There should be a list someplace, you'd think!

Where do you nincompoops get your unfounded info from? CA is not a state that prevents BP revolvers or long guns from coming into the state. The dealer might not want to send BP revolvers to CA that is their choice not the state's law.

This forum is no different from the rest. There is a mixture of well informed sources of facts that are helpful, and a growing number of out-house lawyers that pass hearsay off as gospel. It's your job to glean the good from the bad. I suspect the world would be bland and boring without idiots.

It all comes down to the Constitution. "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED".

I get black powder revolvers in MA from Cimarron, Texas Jacks, MidWayUSA and Track of the Wolf. No ffl required and the state does not consider them a firearm.

I'd wager New York, DC and California are too. Though California could surprise me. Hawaii might be good for it too.
Michigan does if the gun can be converted to a cartridge. i.e. the Ruger Old Army. And not if it is converted but if there are kits out there to convert it.

So basically there is a conversion cylinder for the basic revolvers. So like the 1860, Walker, 1858 Remington’s etc can be converted. So no go to MI?

This is from Cabela's website.

Blackpowder Guns:
Warning: Residents of IL, HI, MA, MI, NJ, NY and WA, please check your local laws for restrictions before ordering any blackpowder firearm.

LOL !!! Well ..... I'm glad I didnt know when I sent them !!

In some States it may not be a STATE law but, in some Counties, it may be a rule.
And as posted, some FFL's may not want to get caught in the middle so it's a CYA thang.
What would YOU do if it was YOUR License?
Don't now it as fact but have heard that in some counties around the Sac Valley Counties require Muzzleloaders to go thru an FFL!!

ALL BP revolvers have to go to an FFL in Michigan...BP long guns can be shipped direct to buyer --- for now

 

[BlackRock52]

And yet MidwayUSA and Cimarron and Texas Jacks and Old South Firearms do ship to Massachusetts!
In addition to Powder Valley and Buffalo Arms amongst others who ship powder to MA.

"WARNING: Black powder firearms cannot be shipped directly to Canada, Ohio*, Washington D.C., Massachusets, Hawaii, Rhode Island, New York, Delaware or New Jersey, See Footnotes for the following locatons: **Illinois and Washington State ***Michigan and Maryland , *****California."
From Old South Shipping Policy page on their website

Private business is no business of the gooberment. Just don't do anything stupid to be questioned about it.

 

[kelljp]

When shipping USPS, there are no restrictions on their site specifically for any states being off limits.

 

[tucosink]

Delaware is ok to ship to for now
