Where We Ship Ammunition, State by State
Updated October 21, 2026.
We ship from our shop in Phoenix, Arizona by UPS Ground. Most states get ammunition delivered to the door. A few states restrict how ammunition can be sold or shipped, and we follow those rules. Every state is listed below with what happens to an order there. You must be 21 or older to order, in every state.
At a glance
- Ships to your door: 41 states.
- Colorado: ships to your door with an adult signature, which Colorado law requires (21+).
- California: ships only to a California-licensed ammunition vendor near you, where you pick it up.
- We can't ship to: Alaska, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington DC, Puerto Rico and other US territories, and APO/FPO addresses.
