As stated, I received this email today
Due to new state restrictions we are unable to honor the order placed for 10 round magazines. The items have been removed from your order. Sincerely, Melissa Spittle Attached is Sales Order # V##### from Alexander Industries, Inc. However, the NY Safe Act 10 round mag restriction doesn't take effect until 4/15/2013 and even THEN we are allowed to possess them, just not transfer them to another NY resident or load them with over 7 rounds unless on a shooting range. I responded and attached the link to the FAQ http://www.governor.ny.gov/2013/gun-reforms-faq as well as the 2 pertinent parts of the FAQ involving the law in question; Q: Going forward, what magazines can I buy? A: As of April 15, 2013, only magazines that can contain 7 rounds or less will be sold in New York, including permanently modified magazines. Q: How many rounds can I put in my magazine today? A: Ten. Starting on April 15, 2013, you are limited to putting in seven rounds, unless you are at an incorporated firing range or competition recognized by the National Rifle Association or International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association, in which case the limit is ten. Hopefully someone sees this and releases my order since even Midway USA and 44mag.com are allowing these sales to go through. Keep in mind this order was placed before NYSAFE was even signed into law. I know it's your business but be informed before burning bridges. |

It is what it is, but be aware the NYSP are blocking everything when you call, regardless of what the law states or the go-live dates for the parts of the law that aren't in effect yet.
They contradict the FAQ with almost every call made, and if you call and ask the same question 4 times in a day, you will get 2-3 (and sometimes 4) different answers. It sucks, but I just had some 10's shipped in from a few other vendors because I had a feeling this would be the case with a few of the places that I ordered from. We have to take POSSESION by 4/15/13, so places like MidwayUSA and 44Mag are accepting orders for 10's as long as the ship by the first week of April so the buyers are in possession of them before the cutoff date. |
