Pistol, rifle ammunition disposal

Question
Gentlemen,
We are settling my brothers estate. The local dealer accepted consignment of plus twenty guns. He refused the forty pounds of ammunition in the storage locker.
What can or should we do with this ammunition? Sell? Donate?I don't believe we can ship it, certainly not by mail.

Answer
Wayne,

Your dealer most likely refused the ammo due to potential liability issues.  He has no idea how the ammo was stored and does not want to assume any risk should a purchaser have a problem with it.

I'd suggest that you contact a local shooting club to see if they have any interest in it.  If not, call your local police department.  They should have some way of disposing of the ammo for you.

You certainly can ship the ammo if you like.  UPS Ground works  well.  Be sure that you require an adult signature for delivery since anyone receiving ammo must be at least 18 years of age.

Best regards,

Doug
