local retailers will jack up the price because californians have no choice but to get locally or drive to Nevada or Arizona.

:( <--- will be the permanent face of every shooter in California and mass .223 5.56 and 7.62 shortages will ensue as everyone moves to AR/AK pistols and rifles
THEN the gangs will catch on and start murdering with AK / AR pistols and rifles. by 2012 the AR/AK will be banned in every which way and form
is there a chance this will be struck down via law suits?

Can you drive to Reno and buy ammo then bring it back? Any laws regarding that?

I guess ammo will be bought in Nevada. By the case , not by the box.....HUGE MARKET for them.

yes you can... that won't be illegal but you can bet that anything within a 100 mile radius outside of california will also be jacking up the prices :(

What does the 03FFL+COE allow us to do? Will we be able to order ammo online?
Overall national level consumption of ammo hasn't changed,(as in compared to pre-Obama election) but it seems to have been mostly bought up by the military and police, which means less for private citizens. This probably won't change this year as we still have war going on.
As for California, you can expect prices to stay at the same level or go above faster as AB962 will create frenzy to buy more ammo before it kicks in.

i will just do what i need to in that i will get friends out of state to mail order to their house, then i just drive there to pickup. thus negating any potential price increases that the local stores would do to cash in on californians going out of state to buy.
of course this also means that instead of order 1K ammo, would probably save up and order like +5k so don't have to travel more than 2-3 times a year if not less.

I am still waiting on my information and application packet, but from my understanding with a BATF C&R license and a CA DOJ Certificate of Eligibility you can still order ammo online after 2/2011. Basically it is all that you need to do the cash and carry deal with C&R guns but since you are a collector that has a COE you do not fall under the bill. I am sure you need to keep records of your purchases but that is in your own log book.

Can you embellish? I would love to share your optamism.
IIRC, the Interstate Commerce Act would not really apply here, as it was enacted to regulate railroad price fixing in the late 1800's. I think what he meant was the Dormant Commerce Clause. Short version, the DCC is a constitutional law principle which dictates that, because the actual Commerce Clause in the Constitution delegates the regulation of interstate commerce to Congress, then it can be inferred that states have no power to regulate interstate commerce. Ergo, CA is unconstitutionally burdening interstate commerce and the law is invalid on its face.
However, this still requires that someone sue the CA gov't in federal court to challenge it, so it won't go away all by itself.

Well, the key difference here is that hi-caps are treated the same (i.e. illegal), whether CA bought or bought out of state. AB discriminates between out of state and in state purchases, which is what the DCC is all about.

The ICC expanded it to cover all traded goods prior to it's disbandment. The courts opinions have held it as valid.
What more is there to say? It violates Federal law.
@killer bee
geez bro...you better hope your house/garage don't catch on fire or the whole neighborhood will get blown up like swiss cheese :P Now I don't feel so bad about my stash...more power to you dude.
I got a small stash myself, but I'm reluctant to buy more ammo than I can shoot in a year or two just to keep my inventory fresh. Range ammo I don't care much about, but home defense ammo is a concern. If that mailorder ammo ban goes into law, my mailman is going to go postal on me the month before it goes into effect. If that happens you can bet prices will bo up.

The price handgun ammo will rise at least 50% by the end of summer when it sinks in AB962 is going to be a reality. I, like everyone else, is hoping it's repealed but I ain't counting on that.

P.S.............I also predict, Walmarts in California will quit selling handgun ammo by Feb. 2011.

I assume the same thing. Why would WalMart bother with the new hassles required to sell ammo? Only a few WM stores sell it in CA, so dropping it from their inventory won't matter to them.

I am wondering the same thing. Based on a search, some people believe it will not have any affect on reloading supplies, but given the language I certainly can't tell (i.e. "bullet").
If we assume that reloading will not be affected, is anyone considering taking up reloading just to avoid the ammo purchase hassles?
I know many people already reload, just wondering how many people are preparing to switch to reloading.

I am sure the places that give out dealer discounts for 03FFL will catch on quickly and sell to the people with 03FFLs. I am getting it for cheaper reloading supplies and if I need it, as in .22lr, the ability to still order online. But I do hope it gets repealed. I am reloading no matter what but for ammo like the .22lr, which I can't reload it is going to be a pain the in butt even with a 03FFL.

If you are a FFL, and believe in 2A and self defense, at what point do you not become disgusted with profiteering?
I understand what you are saying about not being to order after February 2011. I guess I need to make an example. Say your FFL sells a box of 9mm for $20. And say the rest of the free world can get the same ammo for $10 online. So you get your FFL to order you a quantity and he charges you $15 a box for the ammo. Heck your not paying $20 a box but you are still getting screwed because you aren't paying $10.
Look at buying guns online. Most dealers locally have price quite a bit higher than online. So you order online and they make up some of the difference in transfer fees. When they charge you $75 or $100 for a transfer of the gun. I would hate to get the dealer to order $200 worth of ammo and then have him put a $50 handling fee on it for his hassle. He isn't going to do this for nothing.
I think I can see how things are going to be. Right now I can buy at the local walmart 250 rounds of 9mm for $50 which is competitive with online. The one local chain gun store "Turners" charges $90 for the same box of ammo. Walmart probably won't be selling ammo next year but Turners will be. I guess we will see how this turns out but it doesn't look good. Mark

On another note, is it illegal to carry more than a certain amount in your car at a time? I know that hazardous liquid (including used motor oil) transport in personal vehicles is capped at 15g in santa clara county. I don't know if that applies to the whole state but I can see something similar for ammo.

I think you guys are over-fearing the ammo situation, just as you guys were over-fearing that Obama would ban guns.
You can still mail order as much ammos as you want from any online dealer. You just need to change the shipping address to a hotel in Nevada. So, next time you go skiing in Lake Tahoe, have your ammo dealer ship you 2000 rounds of 9mm to you with the hotel as the shipping address. So when you return home from your ski trip, you have plenty of ammos for the shooting range.

I'm thinking AB982 will be overturned, but McDonald will take centerstage for a long while. So, my bet is that it will be in force come Feb/2011. And, WW will stop selling ammo - they stopped selling guns due to the paperwork.
So our 2 options for low cost ammo are gun shows, and reloading. You'll still have to do the paperwork, but do you think the ammo guys at the gun shows are going to turn this down????
Option 3: Pay thru the nose at your LGS or range. Sorry, I support my LGS for gun purchases, but right now, buying WW ammo at the LGS for 50% over retail has made me less charitable towards them.
My 2 cents and maybe more!! And I'm not a lawyer or fortuneteller.. so you get what you paid for on opinion! :)

I'm no expert, but here's a quote from another thread. Basically it addresses if the Chicago law is unconstitutional AND states rights in 2A. So the ideal would be that state laws wrt 2A are judged to be unconstitutional...
Here's a link so I don't put my foot further in my mouth....

I'm with you on this one. There's no way that California can prohibit us from bringing ammo back from other states. All this stupid bill will do is make us spend our money in other states to buy our ammo. I'm glad I have a condo in Vegas where I can just send my mail order ammo to if need be. Based on the wisdom of people here on CG that are much better informed about these things than me though, I'm pretty optimistic that AB962 will never go into effect or won't be around long. I still laugh when I read all of the posts from a year ago that say Obama is going to ban firearms soon so you'd better stock up on them!

it can't nor will. mail ordering isn't banned, as much as restricted. all mail order handgun ammo goes to a FFL before pickup. which of course will result in fees being added ontop of the costs.
private sales of ammo will be normal after the bill so all some have to do is to just group money together and do ammo runs to out of state. i'm sure other cal-gunners would be generous enough to allow others to add on orders to theirs for when they go pick them up from out of state and bring it back.

This law will be so hard to enforce. It is all for show and the only people benefiting from it are wealthy liberals who are under the impression that this will reduce gun crime. Because it has worked so well in the past with laws to keep people from say, selling drugs or Leeping gangsters from having ak's. They push these laws to look like they can do something about the rapidly declining star situation and the likelyhood that criminals will overrun the rich.

Here is something I have been curious about since AB962 passed: Could I still order ammo from Cabelas and choose in-store pickup (pick up at the Reno location)? Or is this prohibited because it is a mail-order sale? I just was wondering if I will still be able to do this since the ammo will never actually be shipped to CA. Of course I want to support local businesses and all, but that is hard to do when they dont have anything in stock, which they more often will not as 2011 approaches...
