Palmetto State Armory Leaks Over 400 Email Addresses of California High-Capacity Magazine Customers
Following the recent ruling the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declaring the California magazine ban unconstitutional, Palmetto State Armory sent an email updating 500 potential magazine-buyers about delays in order processing related to the ruling. Unfortunately, in the process, Palmetto State Armory included all 500 emails in the “To” field, leaving every name and email address exposed and potentially vulnerable to doxxing.
With the potential customers’ names and email addresses now in circulation, individual gun owners are now in the vulnerable position of being exposed by gun rights opponents and having personal information be made public.
Below is the email that was sent.
Palmetto State Armory previously weighed in on the orders from California with this statement.
The Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals issued a much-anticipated opinion on August 14 finding the large-capacity magazine ban is unconstitutional. Palmetto State Armory applauds the court’s ruling and is proud to have provided an affidavit in support of the challenge to the illegal ban.
As the court said, “California’s near-categorical ban of LCMs infringes on the fundamental right to self-defense…. [I]t substantially burdens the core right of self-defense guaranteed to the people under the Second Amendment. It cannot stand.”
“This decision is a victory for the Second Amendment and a reason Palmetto State Armory supports the Second Amendment Defense Fund,” said PSA owner Jamin McCallum. “Protecting our freedoms and defending our constitutional liberties are PSA’s founding principles.”
Due to the opinion, PSA will accept orders from California for large-capacity magazines. If your order is accepted the inventory is held in reserve for you. We cannot ship any of those orders until the opinion becomes final. If the decision is not final in the next 30 days, you will have the option to cancel the order or hold the reservation.
