How To Legally Buy Ammo Online In California

[MQ1]

I sure do feel sorry for the normal folks stuck in that country. If it wasnt for the good folks i know id say run the wall up the eastern border of cali. What a disaster.

Just put a wall around the Bay Area, Los Angeles and Sacramento and the rest is full of pretty good, normal folks.

Have you ever rolled through a stop sign which is generally against the law? Not too many people leave their state because of running a stop sign. How many California AS members can’t get the ammo they need to hunt, compete in shooting events or just target shoot in CA?. We have property in TX and CA and shoot competitively in both.

Driving is a privilege, not a Right, as I have been told in many traffic school classes. If you are running stop signs, you should lose that privilege. Having a gun is a Right, and without ammunition, it isn't a gun, but a useless piece of metal and plastic, which is a violation of our Right. If you have no criminal objectives, owning a gun and having the ammo to shoot it at your pleasure, is supposedly guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Even if you consider the guns only for militia, you still have to have ammo to stay proficient until you are needed. It hasn't happened here, so I can't imagine how it got so far in some states, but as someone said, sitting on your ass and not voting against these violations of our Rights is probably the way.

Hope this isn't too political for the forum boss, since it really has no bearing on how the OP can get ammo in CA. Civil Disobedience can get expensive in court, but if you come out the winner, that is at least one law that will be changed.

An UCF engineer just recently found out the hard way about ignoring the law. He converted his AR15 to full auto. When he was caught, after his roommate snitched on him, he told the police that he didn’t like that law, so he didn’t care if he broke it. Not saying that I don’t agree with the student. I do, but I don’t agree with him enough to spend time in federal prison.

Just be careful....

Good thing I do not have a lathe... lol.. I would make my own actions.. I am a retired cop and know how not get caught. If one person knows something it is a secret. If two folks know it if not...

So far the fruitcakes in California government have only stopped the sales of loaded ammunition, via mail to go directly to a person without a FFL. We can still buy it from gun stores or those with a FFL that can or will have it sent to them.
So either purchase and maybe stock some up and also store up some good reloading supplies for your weapons, for future use.

So is there not a background check on that ammo? The way youre talking the only difference now is the seller of ammo needs a license to sell it?

CA Democrats are really just looking for anything they can do to make it harder for legal gun owners to buy guns, ammo, or anything else associated with the hobby. Just saw the list of proposed CA legislation for this session and it is sickening. Laws designed to make it harder to have an FFL in CA with onerous record keeping, security camera, etc rules, 1 gun per month, who could want more than that?, More and more restrictions on law abiding citizens. Nothing at all to deal with criminal use of guns.

And it isn't all about CA. CA liberals say what the liberals in the rest of the country are thinking. If your state isn't staunchly conservative, it's coming there next. It isn't California spreading, it is liberalism that lives everywhere but CA immunity is especially weak. Look what is happening in Colorado.

And there are several proposed laws in CA that would Encourage" or "urge" the federal government to adopt CA's leadership gun laws nationally. I kid you not.

Since they have admitted they really want to disarm the country, they are getting pretty bold.

Duuude, like everyone in Colorado is stoned Man, what do you expect?

We have three Walmarts in my city and two of them quit selling ammunition( I get their $5/box shotgun shells for skeet/sporting) so that leaves Big 5 which is $8 per box and the gun club at $10/box. Not sure if Walmart and Big 5 will sell after July when they have to do all the paperwork but I heard the gun club can sell without all the checking if you are "consuming it on the premises". the things I can't get are Tungsten turkey/waterfowl shells, 28 & 410 shells, and subsonic/target .22LR ammo.
Now keep in mind we can no longer shoot lead shot at rabbits, squirrels, quail, chucker, pheasant, etc. No more shooting ground squirrels or rabbits with the .22's either....unless you shoot $8-10/box copper 21 grain bullets that nobody can seem to get to group very well. A lot of my buddies are giving up on bird hunting because we like to shoot .410 and 28 gauge but with steel it's very expensive and a bit ridiculous.

The background check is such a crazy part. I was in the business in California is back through the 90’s and we thought it sucked back then. I left for Oregon but sadly I’m just getting surrounded by the same craziness up here. Up here they’ve introduced a 20 rounds per month bill, it’s nucking futs.

California is patient zero and now the contagion is spreading on the West Coast and moving eastward.

 

[243Mendoza]

...If it was me I would find as many shooters as you can that live there and file a class action against the state. Something the NRA should be doing.

The NRA is busy renting politicians. It doesn't have the skills/talent to fight in the courts.

 

[243Mendoza]

I just read on “Drudge Report” about a gallup survey that shows there are more conservatives living in California than there are liberals. Don’t conservatives in calif. Vote?

Gerrymandering?

That is what they will tell you over and over. You know a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth. The truth is driving is a right that has been regulated into a privilege. Many think the most trampled on amendment is good old number "2". Not even close, in reality it is the almost unknown 9th amendment.

When the Army was standing up a designated marksman program they were lacking skills to train the soldiers that were going to war. The Army put out the word looking for civilians who were distinguished marksmen. It was these civilians that took on the training at their own expense to train out soldiers. I like to tell that to the anti-freedom people I come across. I did not imply you.

Not yet. Supposed to start in July (background check for all ammo purchases - I assume it will be a check and issuance of a card or something), but CA DOJ hasn't figured out how to do it as of right now.

Gerrymandering?

And "Ballot harvesting"!

 

[rogn]

People leave California all the time. It's easier than most places. The greatly inflated land values mean you bring one helluva golden parachute with you to the new place. Someone moving out of a place like the middle of nowhere Kansas is stuck. Their land doesn't sell for as much and they have to take a step down in lifestyle in order to afford something elsewhere.

And this situation is whats buggering so much of the real world. These parachutes are dropping in places that have not yet been defiled by excess liberalism. But unfortunately too many of these "expatriots" are bringing their political diseases with them and infecting hitherto untouched ground.

 

[carlsbad]

Rogn, the liberals arent the ones leaving. CA has more conservatives than your stat .

 

[fx77]

I would love to see an audit of bullets from point of sale
every bullet counted-sold and in the warehouse, and every delivery documented to whom and every empty case after the enduser is finished to turn in to the original seller

Limiting ammo sales?

Just think how stupid that is!

 

[swd]

Most of the libs in California I know came here from other states. When they leave they’re re patriating where they came from. We’ve been stuck with them long enough. You guys can have them back. Every one that leaves is one more vote that counts for a conservative. Yea I know I’ll get flamed all to hell for this, but there is a lot of truth in it.

California has a citizen initiative process. Get some $$$ backing, propose laws that hit lawmakers right in the pocket book. Citizens will happily sign them. Start recall campaigns against anyone who writes and backs these laws. Nail them to the wall and make them explain in detail how their laws will keep the undiagnosed but mentally ill from engaging in mass killings. Make them use real case details.
You may not get all you wish, but you'll keep lawmakers scrambling to keep their precious jobs and pensions and eventually the voice of reason will prevail.

Apparently you are not aware of the demographics, residents political affiliation and makeup of the legislature in California.
