Shoosh😎

I have to wonder what will happen at the inspection stations now. "Do you have any ammunition, fruits and vegetables?"

I'm hoping not or a lot of folks out here in the border country (OR & NV) will be taking the FS roads home.

How much are the people of California going to put up with?

Answer- All of it.

Good, hopefully a bunch of their transplanted gangbangers will go home now...

Really? Does this mean any transfers - such as finds, gifts, loaners, prizes, etc. - or does it simply mean purchase or exchanges for things of some established value? It would be nice to see some straight scoop on this.

2. AMMUNITION SALES
Beginning on January 1, 2018, Proposition 63, ammunition sales must be conducted by or processed through licensed vendors. It will serve to prevent certain convicted criminals from purchasing ammunition once the new law for background checks for ammunition sales come online in July 2019.

Sales of ammunition by unlicensed individuals must be processed through a licensed ammunition vendor, in a manner similar to private party firearms transactions, and ammunition obtained over the Internet or from out of state must be initially shipped to a licensed ammunition vendor for physical delivery to the purchaser pursuant to a background check.

It means that, beginning January 1, 2018, online or catalogue ammunition purchases will need to be shipped to a licensed vendor for transaction, instead of having ammunition directly to the home. It expands throughout California similar local ordinances prohibiting direct mail of ammunition, already in place in some California cities.

The license requirements apply to individuals who sell more than 500 rounds of ammunition in any month. Those vendors must obtain an ammunition vendor license and conduct ammunition sales only at specified business locations. It means gun dealers must obtain a DOJ certificate of eligibility from employees who handle ammunition, verifying that they passed a background check.

I left about a year later.
Took vacation and told em, "f I can find a job I am not coming back."
Wasn't my first attempt, left in 74 but was married to a California girl and ended up returning.
The Eagles song, Hotel California always reminds me to that first endeavor.
Was a fun place as a kid in the 60's, I could hunt rabbits and ground squirrels alone, from about 12 on, and did shoot a deer, but here would have been undoubtedly better even then.
Smart move when I got my kid out of there when he was about 8 or 9.

Thanks Ranger for that info.

More info, letter from Sheriff of Eldorado County:

On December 27th I sent a letter to California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra
requesting he stay the requirement for ammunition vendors to obtain an ammunition
vendor license pursuant to Proposition 63 passed by the voters in November of 2016 due
to the fact his own office had not completed the regulatory process nor issued any of the
required ammunition vendor licenses so these businesses could lawfully operate until
such licenses were issued.

The letter was also posted as a press release which was picked up by some local media
outlets that investigated and reported the facts. When they contacted the Department of
Justice, as reported, they were informed that approximately 225 ammunition vendor
license applications had been received and 219 had been processed with only six more to
process and that the businesses would receive their licenses prior to the end of the year.

On December 28 I received an email with an attached letter, both from Robert D. Wilson,
Deputy Attorney General for the California Department of Justice. The letter stated the
following:
Your letter to Attorney General Becerra regarding ammunition vendor licenses has been
directed to the Bureau of Firearms (Bureau) for response. To summarize, you voiced
concerns about the timely issuance of ammunition vendor licenses. The Bureau has been
working with non-FFL ammunition vendors since early 2017 and that work has paid off.
Initial estimates indicated that there were approximately 225 non-FFL ammunition
vendors in California. As of today, the Bureau processed 227 applications for
ammunition vendor licenses; five additional applications are now in the final stage of
completion. All backgrounds and Certificates of Eligibility have been completed or are
nearing completion. The Bureau expects to issue these licenses electronically on
December 29, 2017.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Wilson
Deputy Attorney General
For Xavier Becerra
Attorney General

On December 29, at approximately 4:35
pm I received an email from Chris Puehse,
owner of Foothill Ammunition, an ammunition vendor in El Dorado County. The email
was a forward from the California Department of Justice stating the following:
Ammunition regulations from the California Department of Justice are in the final stage
of approval, which is expected in early January.
The Department has processed applications from vendors and will issue licenses once the regulations are approved.


I immediately telephoned Deputy Attorney General, Robert Wilson to inquire about the
discrepancy between what was told to the media, what was told to me and what is now
being told to the ammunition vendors who are just trying to comply with the law. I was
advised by DAG Wilson that there was a misunderstanding and that the regulations had
not been reviewed and approved by the Department’s “Office of Administrative Law”
(OAL) and no licenses had been issued. He advised he would be personally walking the
regulations through with the OAL first thing Tuesday, January 2, 2018 hoping that the
regulations would be approved and the licenses could be issued shortly after that.
When asked what businesses that sold ammunition were supposed to do until then, I was
advised they would have to only “shut their doors” for a few days until the licenses were
issued giving no definitive date DOJ is willing to be accountable to. I advised him this
was unacceptable and again requested Attorney General Becerra issue a stay until such
regulations were completed and licenses issued.

I am releasing this information via press release because it needs to be documented that
the California Department of Justice had been less than honest with the people of
California regarding this issue, has had since November of 2016 to draft and finalize
the regulations for this law and have failed to do so in a timely manner and even though a
remedy exists, will again fail the people of California and force law abiding citizens to
choose between being criminals or not providing for their families.
Affecting livelihoods with a flippant “trust us” attitude is unacceptable from public servants.

Lot of push-back needed in CA via the courts. The libs do it all the time - flock to the courts for a temporary "stay". Likely the NRA will spend a little money over in that God forsaken socialist stronghold. What they need are more fires with a "scorched earth" mentality, the San Andreas to roll up to a magnitude 8.0 and a bunch of rain to roll in for a few weeks.

This only applies to Americans....since Cali became a sanctuary state illegals are still free to do what they want. Freaking state needs to be invaded by the Americans

Too bad that whole state didn't catch fire..

No.....you don't.

Turning a rifle into a bomb is not the same thing as reloading.....

Well....on the bright side, this should put an end to ammo scalping. .22lr should be plentiful from now on...



Oh, wait.....

Perfectly stated... Excellent, sir..


As to this new CA law, if (like, never) I was a CA resident I'd buy ammo out of state anyway - even if I had to travel to IA to get it... Eff them.

If I send ammo to a democrat in Kalifornia will they go to jail ?


Mike

It would go a long way to normalizing the state if we could elect enough politicians in congress to impeach about 90% of the Ninth Circuit and replace them with judges that actually follow the constitution and rule accordingly. As it is the idiot moon bats have cart blanch to pass any criminal legislation they wish and have it codified by the court.

Californians can now rest with assurance, that all the folks that have illegal guns will no longer be able to buy or get ammo.

To All,

It sounds like RELOADING is about to become VERY POPULAR in "The Land of FRUITS & NUTS".
