According to Cheaper Than Dirt, the ban on mail order goes well beyond ammo:
(2) For purposes of this subdivision, "ammunition" shall include, but not be limited to, any bullet, cartridge, magazine, clip, speed loader, autoloader, or... projectile capable of being fired from a firearm with a deadly consequence. "
So pretty much any "Gun Paraphernalia" associated in any way with ammunition you won't be able to get except through whatever is locally available.

But there's no slippery-slope in the world of gun control. No, none at all. "Reasonable, Common-Sense" gun control at work.

Its like they used to say about the characters in the horror movies.

"Why don't they just get out?!?!?"

I wonder if those who passed that legislation realize how much revenue is earned by the taxes on ammo?

I understand they have to make a living, but I don't think they're having that much trouble getting ammo any more, for a while everyone was pinched, but now as you said it seems to be slowing down so it seems to me they may be trying to manipulate supply a bit.
If the town is that small they should cut off buying from this guy and wait until walmart gets stocked again........
