You've missed my point. There doesn't need to be any actual restrictions, only the perception or political climate amenable to restrictions. Their in-house legal counsel can make whatever policy they want to. You have to admit that California has more restrictive gun laws than Texas for example.
No, I got your point. They are covering their corporate asses to protect against an imaginary threat. THERE IS NO RESTRICTION ON SHIPMENT OF THIS AMMO. They are in the business of selling ammo, so they should know and understand the rules. CA's gun laws have no bearing on this particular transaction, because this is not a gun shipment. Academy won't ship guns to a CA FFL either, also a stupid, incompetent decision on their part. I tried to buy a Yildiz double a couple of years ago and encountered the same bullshit from the fools at Academy. There is absolutely no legal or regulatory restriction on shipping a bird gun to an FFL in CA. I know they can do business in whatever manner they choose, but to claim that they are legally prevented from shipping ammo to me is just plain wrong. If they actually believe that there is some legal restriction against shipping shells to me, then they are inept, incompetent, bereft of any actual knowledge of the regulations, and totally without credibility and legitimacy as an online merchant. If they don't actually believe there is some legal restriction, then they are flat out lying. Either way, that is no way to do business. They are idiots.
