    NYS Trying to Strike Again....

    This is worse than the NRA-ILA article makes out.  The text of the bill removes EVERY category of "Duly Authorized Instructor," not just NRA certified Pistol Instructors, from NYS PEN 265.00 (19) and replaces us with ONLY Dept of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) certified pistol instructors after 2026.  Think how much more difficult it will be to obtain your pistol permit then....Only here in the State of Despair...  SB

    Just got an email 9/7/22 from Powder Valley.  I am not pushing them, but I thought their info was relevant to this topic: 

     

    5 WAYS TO SPOT A FRAUDULENT WEBSITE:
     

    There are several fraudulent websites popping up trying to entice you to place an order for something they don't have in stock.  They are copying information from major retailers, and showing items in stock that aren't.  These sites are coming up on major search engines when searching for hard to get items.

     Here are 5 things to look for before placing an order:

     

    If they show every in-demand product in stock and prices are too good to be true.
     

    Demand continues to outpace supply, and we have seen a significant number of price increases. If their prices are lower than the industry market price, please be mindful.

    Powder Valley is the nationwide leader for sales of Primers, Powder, Brass, Bullets and Ammunition for reloading components. We are doing everything we can to keep our prices down and continue on focusing on Shooters supporting Shooters. Our quantities received from the manufacturers have decreased even more and the outlook on the horizon doesn’t look any better.
     

    If a website only accepts peer-to-peer payments like: Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle.


    Most fraudulent websites do not accept major credit cards. Some may claim they except Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express, but when you get to the checkout screen those options are not available. They do this because peer-to-peer payment platforms do not allow customers to dispute the fraudulent charges.

    PayPal does not support the 2nd Amendment. They do not offer their services for any transactions related to firearms, magazines, parts, ammunition, or components.
     

    If it is a newly purchased domain, or a new company you’ve never heard of.
     

    We encourage consumers to always ensure they are dealing with a legitimate company online. Never type your information into a website for which you're not 100% certain of the authenticity.  Illegitimate websites may share or sell your data to unscrupulous third parties.
     

    If there is no contact information or address on the website, or the phone number/address is not legitimate.
     

    Every company should have a phone number, email address, and physical address. If they do not list these 3 things, that should be a big red flag. If they do have contact information, it is very important that you do your own investigation by calling the number and speaking to a real person. You may even do a Google search on the address to see photos, reviews, and hours.
     

    If the website is not powdervalleyinc.com
     

    We only have one website: https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/
    You can call us at 800-227-4299 or email us at reload@powdervalleyinc.com to confirm it is us before placing an order.
     
    If you have any questions or complaints about a website defrauding consumers attempting to order reloading components and ammunition, please contact the FBI or the FTC.
