What about possession of ammunition purchased before ban, and are all non-residents prohibited from possessing any ammunition in the state? What if I come to Cali to hunt or target shoot?Ruark wrote:It's already closed. SB1225 makes it illegal to bring ammunition in from outside the state. If you do, it must be shipped to a "licensed ammunition vendor," so they can do your background check, registration, etc. when you pick it up.ScottDLS wrote:Something I've wondered about this new California ammunition law.

One thing that's not regulated by the new code is reloading, and the sale/possession of reloading supplies. Expect a huge surge in reloading in CA in the coming years, at least until the legislature hears about it.

Re: A heads up on Kalifornia
It's more than 1 year to be a prohibiting felony and more than 2 years for State designated misdemeanors. Better than New York, where it's a "violent felony".mccloven27 wrote:If you look a little deeper past the surface at all the extra stuff they tacked onto this bill it gets worse. Not only does buying ammunition require a permit (that costs $50 every 4yrs), it also requires the state to keep a registry of the people that have a "ammunition purchase authorization". The state must also share this registry with law enforcement agencies for "law enforcement purposes". They also included a section that allows agencies to seek and obtain a warrant to search and seize someones property(ies) in the event they have a registered firearm or ammuntion they are no longer permitted to have. Allegedly this was to allow courts to force people to get rid of firearms if they became a person that is no longer allowed to have one. Then they added a section that if you posses a "large capacity magazine" its only a misdemeanor however they can fine you and/or put you in jail for 1yr. I wonder if its a coincidence that 1yr is just long enough to lose your firearm rights?
I hate to go all conspiracy theory on this one but I would not be surprised one bit if they just outright ban certain/all types of guns within the next 5-10yrs and use that registration list as a good place to start looking for them. They have a perfect combination of laws in place now to allow them to legally seize weapons and know where to find them.
