Edit: they reversed course after reading the article and now will sell to Oregon. Damn, there are some good businesses left in the world!

I wrote them after they said they will not ship any Glock mags to Oregon. Here is their bullbubblegum response. Please let everyone you know to not do business with them and let any YouTubers or other outlets know. What they are doing is wrong and please join me in boycotting this business.

P.S. please post on any other firearm forums you belong to. Unless businesses lose business over this bullcrap they won't change. We need to get the word out on what they are doing.

Bereli won't ship ammo to Washington residents, but they will (presumably after today's ruling) ship ammo directly to California residents. For WA they only ship to an FFL.

Sadly companies listen to what the lawyers who advise them tell them normally. WA AG has proven time and again he LOVES using our tax money to go after anyone he feels did not listen to him. When he loses huge amounts of money voters here seem to care less. So a lot of business's just don't feel like waiting to see if he picks them next as they don't want the HUGE outlay of cash if he does. WA voters made this mess NOT the companies who don't want to play with our AG.
 
I do not envy any of these businesses. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place, needing to comply with malicious laws and trying to keep their customers happy.

I know a lot of people will say "will not comply!" but that does not stop the government from putting people in jail and sinking a business completely. Do you think an eventual victory in the bump stock case will bring SlideFire back? No imagine they were a bigger business that had other products and tons of employees and even customers relying on service, what would be a more responsible course of action; "will not comply!" and face a FedBoy raid and get shut down, stranding all your employees and customers, or comply and carry on with everything you still do that is legal? The "big picture" seems attractive from a story plot perspective, but the little picture is all the people that will be out of jobs and customers who get screwed over from a loss of support services. Sometime you really do have to take care of your own before looking to "the cause."

I am just glad in this case they had a reasonable response and a phenomenal turn around once they understood the situation. Good on them for that.

YEP! This is the part so many here refuse to get their head around. Its easy to yell do not comply when someone has NOTHING on the line. A lot of places do not have the pile of cash on hand to take on some state or fed gov agency that could care less how much money they waste going after them. WA AG just lost millions to a second hand store here he spent years suing. Now that they finally got a judgment against him to pay their legal fee's he laughs off the lost tax money and voters here will probably reward him. Same moron is now suing couple large grocery chains and that too will end up being a loss to the tax payers and he will not care. A LOT of business will end up going under over legal costs. If years later they manage to get a judgment for their legal fees LONG after they went out of business who really wins???

Yep, and it can be even more subtle than that, because even if a business goes under, eventually wins and restarts operations with the recovered money, there are still all the employees who were out of a job (and pay) for that duration. For small, tight knit companies that may be unacceptable as they can feel like family. Keeping them employed, even if you are risking the avarice of your more militant customers, might be the most important consideration.
