How shipping rules are sourced
Each row comes from the retailer's own published shipping page. As of CT (latest check), tracked retailers have a sourced policy on file, covering 53 states and territories (590 rows). Each row stores the retailer's wording, the source link and the date checked. A retailer with no row for a state counts as shipping there, except in states whose law restricts ammo shipping: there it shows as check retailer unless its own policy names the state's conditions.
