California Ammunition Law

[Silencer]

If Governor Ahnold doesn't veto it, this is what we should expect.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 962, as introduced, De Leon. Ammunition.
Existing law requires the Department of Justice to maintain
records pertaining to firearms transactions.
This bill would require the department to maintain additional
information relating to ammunition transfers and licensed handgun
ammunition vendors, as specified.
Existing law generally regulates the sale of ammunition.
This bill would establish a program administered by the Department
of Justice for licensing handgun ammunition vendors, as specified.
The bill would establish a database maintained by the department
to serve as a registry of handgun ammunition vendors.
This bill would require that commencing July 1, 2010, unless
specifically excluded, no person shall sell or transfer more than 50
rounds of handgun ammunition in any month unless he or she is
registered as a handgun ammunition vendor, as defined. The bill would
also require these vendors to obtain a background clearance for
those employees who would handle ammunition in the course and scope
of their employment. The bill would require the Department of Justice
to maintain a registry of registered handgun ammunition vendors, as
specified. Violation of these provisions, as specified, would be a
misdemeanor.
By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated
local program.
The bill would also provide that no retail seller of ammunition
shall sell, offer for sale, or display for sale, any handgun
ammunition in a manner that allows that ammunition to be accessible
to a purchaser without the assistance of the retailer or employee
thereof.
The bill would further provide that handgun ammunition may only be
purchased in a face-to-face transaction and only if certain
conditions exist.
Existing law generally regulates what information is required to
be obtained in connection with the transfer of ammunition.
This bill would, subject to exceptions, commencing July 1, 2010,
require certain ammunition vendors to obtain a thumbprint and other
information from ammunition purchasers, and would require submission
of that information to the Department of Justice, as specified. A
violation of these provisions would be a misdemeanor.
This bill would provide that a person enjoined from engaging in
activity associated with a criminal street gang, as specified, would
be prohibited from having under his or her possession, custody, or
control, any ammunition. Violation of these provisions would be a
misdemeanor.
The bill would prohibit supplying or delivering, as specified,
handgun ammunition to prohibited persons, as described, by persons or
others who know or by using reasonable care should know that the
recipient is a person prohibited from possessing ammunition.
Violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor with specified
penalties.

If you're in California, make sure to urge Ahnold to veto this ridiculous and worthless bill. It's all in his hands, now.

[Kieran McCaig]

thats worse than up here.

There is also SB 585 which would outlaw gun shows at the Cow Palace which is also on the governor's desk. A first in doing the same across the state. As said, if the governor does nothing, both of these become law. The governor needs to be forced into action by a veto of these bills. Not only are they a slap to the honest citizen, but many businesses will suffer and possibly go out of business. (That's sure as hell [what] CA needs right now! )

If you're a CA resident, call the governor's office. Time is of the essence!

I say register communists and terrorists, not guns and ammo or the people the own them!




Keep both barrels loaded!

[killbuck]

I just read on a news based site that Arny is expected to sign it.

[Terry_P]

Sounds like you need to stock up on reloading components. Figure on enough until you decide to move.

The people of Kali elected this dolt. He's clearly a RINO. Look at who he married. He's whipped the minute he gets home. My kid has more sack than he does.

He won't fight for the people.

He's useless. Wake up Kali!
Warshington can't take any more refugees.

18 other states have or are trying to pass similar laws.

Right here in Washingrad, the queen commrad has slipped it though the house.

[OBrien]

By creating a new crime,

That says exactly what they are trying to do.

I tried multiple DAYS to call, and ALWAYS got a busy signal. I ended up going to the Gov. website and sending an e-mail asking him to VETO both of these bills.

I think they took the phone offline.....

[flyingcubby]

I sent an e-Mail to our beloved Gov while the bills were still in discussion 3 weeks ago urging him to veto them and received a responce saying he couldn't coment until the bills were on his desk.
So I guess that was a polite way of saying "Tough what do I have to lose"

Hey Rocky, I'd be happy to know what you're refering to.
Where do you reside?

This is old news (18 States etc) been floating around the net for about a year.
Most of these bills are DOA. I know the AL bill died in committee early this year

Terry P. is right, we all need to be well stocked with componants for loading. I try to keep enough for the next generation as well, just in case.
