jim vaughan Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Has anyone noticed that the EGW website blocks viewers from outside the USA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Being in the US I haven't noticed that. I'd imagine a VPN or a DPN would be a easy work around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa-XD45 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 It's probably to avoid any ITAR violations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_Regulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim vaughan Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 I understand that there is a workaround but do not know why the block was necessary, i.e. which organization forced this type of response. I would be very unhappy if this was applied to all "gun related" websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably can't sell to you out of the country so they likely think this would create less issues than if you got on and couldn't order, or if you ordered and they had to cancel it.

shred Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 This. There's lots of people trying to buy gun parts from overseas. Dozens a day on some web stores I know. Easier to block them all than mess with "This credit card is from overseas, the shipping address is a freight-forwarder in Miami, order cancelled" all the time. "Boss doesn't go to jail" supersedes any number of quasi-legal overseas sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
