Optics Planet/DVOR Will NOT Sell Magazines Over 10 Round Capacity?

http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/20...s-planet-stops-sales-high-capacity-magazines/

update with answers from OpticsPlanet fol

Thank you for reaching out to us, and giving us a chance to respond. We're aware of a recent rumor suggesting that we made decisions to restrict the sale of magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds due to recent events.


We want to assure you this is not the case. Insufficient internal communication led to a misread message. We are not offering magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds to the general public due to our location in Northbrook, Illinois, and local laws that limit our ability to sell these. Being an internet retailer serving fifty states can be complex at times, and frankly, our location in Illinois only adds to this complexity. We may not always like the law, but we need to follow it.


You can see the ordinance in question here:

At OpticsPlanet, we have never used the inflamed tensions and emotions of current events to drive decision making. Our support of the 2nd Amendment is made undeniably clear by the products we offer. We are one of the few online retailers who never stopped offering completely legal products based on public or political pressure. We do not raise prices during frenzies. We do, however, follow the laws and make adjustments when legally required.


While we wish we could be your provider of these magazines, our hands are tied in this matter. We sincerely apologize for our role in creating any confusion, and hope you'll continue to support us as many loyal customers have over the past 18 years.



Best regards,


Andrew M.

I've had a Hate Hate relationship with that place for several years now. If I had a dollar for every time I had to cancel and order with them because it was not in stock I'd have a few dollars.

This will be the proverbial nail in the coffin.

Does Optics Planet happen to be owned by ****** bag Marcus Lamonis? AKA Camping World, Gander Mountain? Diving off to the intrawebs.

Funny I just made a comment and the other chat about what the horde about opticsplanet.
So they accept PayPal won't sell 30 round magazines anymore but two weeks ago they had a sale on Slide Fire stocks and I was able to purchase one for the AK-47 and one for the AR-15 for range toys before those are outlawed.
These hypocritical companies really need to get their s*** together
So the way I see it is they care about gun down teenagers in South Florida but opticsplanet does not care about Country Music Festival fans.

I checked with some people that I know within the company, and what is above is NOT true.
there is some IL BS law because the company is 15 miles north of Chicago.
They are scrambling with the official answer, etc but this has nothing to do with FL just bad timing for the post

hopefully we will know soon – no reason to freak out about this good vendor

What about California?

Do you buy Apple, AMD, Intel, Western Digital, Seagate, or use Netflix, Facebook, eBay, Google?
