Shipping & Compliance Policy

Effective Date: 01/1/2026

TLO Outdoors (“TLO Outdoors,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) sells firearms-related products only in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. Due to the complexity and frequency of changes in firearms and defensive product laws, certain products may be restricted or prohibited from shipment based on destination address and product characteristics.

TLO Outdoors reserves the right to modify this policy at any time without prior notice.

1. General Compliance Statement

All orders for firearms-related and restricted products are subject to compliance review. TLO Outdoors makes no guarantees that any product offered for sale may be lawfully shipped to all jurisdictions.

It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that the purchase, possession, transportation, and use of any product is lawful in their state and local jurisdiction.

2. Ammunition Sales & Shipping

2.1 General Rule

Ammunition will only be shipped where permitted by law and in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements. Depending on the destination, ammunition orders may require:

• shipment to a licensed Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) or state-approved ammunition vendor;

• submission and verification of purchaser credentials; or

• cancellation where shipment or possession is prohibited.

2.2 Known State-Specific Ammunition Restrictions

• New Jersey (NJ): Permit required; specific ammo may have further restrictions. 

• Hawaii (HI): Local ID and credential requirements apply; shipping may be constrained. 

• Washington (WA):  High Capacity magazines may not be shipped into Washington State for sale or distribution under the state’s “large capacity magazine” law, since any magazine over 10 rounds cannot be legally sold, imported, or distributed there at this time.

Federal age and prohibited person rules still apply in all states.

3. Magazine Sales & Capacity Restrictions

Many states restrict the sale, transfer, possession, or shipment of magazines based on capacity. These restrictions apply regardless of whether the magazine is shipped empty.

• 10-Round or Equivalent Limits:
  CA • CT • DC • HI • MD • MA • NJ • NY • VT • WA

TLO Outdoors does not ship complete firearms or serialized receivers directly to consumers.

4.2 State-Specific Component Restrictions

• assault weapon parts (e.g., flash hiders, pistol grips, adjustable stocks in some jurisdictions like CA, CT, IL, NY),

• devices designed to accelerate rate-of-fire,

• parts regulated under state “assault weapon” definitions.

These restrictions vary by state and may change over time. TLO Outdoors reserves the right to refuse or cancel shipment of any component where legality is unclear, disputed, or subject to interpretation.

5. Mace / Pepper Spray & Non-Lethal Personal Defense

Products such as mace, pepper spray, and other non-lethal personal defense items are generally legal in the U.S., but specific rules vary by state and some restrict online shipping or possession conditions. 

5.1 Known Non-Lethal Defense Restrictions

• New York (NY): Historically, online sales of pepper spray have been restricted and sale limited to licensed dealers or pharmacies; legislation is under consideration to update this. 

• Massachusetts (MA) & Hawaii (HI): May require purchase through licensed vendors or impose strict in-person sales rules. 

• Maryland (MA):  Maryland law prohibits the sale, offer for sale, purchase, receipt, or transfer of detachable magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition for a firearm. This restriction applies under Maryland Criminal Law Code § 4-305(b) and related state regulations.
  
  
• New Jersey (NJ): New Jersey does impose restrictions on pepper spray and pepper gel, and these rules affect how you can possess and use them legally

• General: Pepper spray is legal in all 50 states, but jurisdictions may impose age limits, size restrictions, or other conditions. 

Orders for mace or non-lethal defense products that cannot be lawfully shipped to a destination will be cancelled.

• Maryland (MD): Explicitly restricts certain explosive reactive targets under state law (often grouped with armor-piercing or restricted ammo). Federal DOT/USPS/UPS/FEDEX hazardous materials rules also apply to shipping explosive materials.

7. Local & Municipal Regulations

Some cities or counties impose restrictions that exceed state law (e.g., additional magazine limits or possession bans in certain municipalities). TLO Outdoors does not guarantee compliance with all local ordinances.

Orders shipping to addresses subject to local prohibitions may be cancelled.

8. Distributor & Carrier Policies

Distributor and carrier policies may be more restrictive than federal or state law. If a distributor or carrier refuses to ship an item for any reason, the order will be cancelled or refunded.
