That's right. An 03 is basically worthless here in NY, with the possible exception that a holder can get discounts on ammo or supplies ordered. But one would still need to retrieve the ammo from an 01, where it now needs to be shipped. Initially, the S.A.F.E. Act called for background checks for ammo purchases. The provision was never implemented, but the inability of legally receiving ammo shipped directly to individuals has remained. Some auctions just send it anyway. I received two boxes once, sent in a small flat rate USPS box, which I think is a no-no for the sender.
