Geographic restrictions apply: weapons and/or ammunition sales are not serviced in several states (including California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, and the District of Columbia), with partial restrictions in additional states. Marketing activity is relationship-driven, comprising direct sales coverage, email newsletter, and participation in law enforcement trade events.
