Default Selling/shipping ammunition out of state?

I have some ammunition to sell, and I can’t figure out how it works if someone buys it out of state. If I have an out of state buyer, am I still restricted to the 500 rounds/month limit? Obviously I wouldn’t be able to do the transfer “face to face,” is this a problem since I’m in CA? How do you ship ammunition? UPS? Do I need to print out some sort of “hazardous material” label and stick it on the outside of the package?

Yes, the law says a CA resident without an ammo license can only sell 500. There's nothing there about where you sell it.

I've recently been told that according to CA PC 30312, there is no legal way for a CA resident to sell ammunition to an out of state buyer, since all ammunition sales by a CA resident have to be processed though a "licensed ammunition vendor." Obviously these vendors can't process the transaction if the buyer lives in another state. If I understand this correctly, the only way I can sell ammunition to an out of state buyer would be to drive outside the state, sell the ammo and ship it, then drive back? Is this for real?

Here's the Penal Code:
Quote:
30342.

(a) Commencing January 1, 2018, a valid ammunition vendor license shall be required for any person, firm, corporation, or other business enterprise to sell more than 500 rounds of ammunition in any 30-day period.

(b) A violation of this section is a misdemeanor.
Does it look real to you?

As morcarr67 pointed out, no exception for where your buyer may be.

Take the ammo out of state, follow that state's laws, (if any).

But I’m not talking about the 500 round limit. From what I’m seeing here if interpreted in the most restrictive way, I can’t even sell one round of ammunition to an out of state buyer because the buyer can’t be processed by the CA ammunition vendor.

"...MORE than 500 rounds of ammunition in any 30-day period...." is the key phrase.

Read it how you like.

It's pretty clear.

That’s the key phrase of PC 30342. It’s pretty clear one person cannot sell more than 500 rounds in 30 days. But I’m now concerned with PC 30312, which states in part that “the sale of ammunition by any party shall be conducted by or processed through a licensed ammunition vendor.” So given that, is it possible for anyone in CA to sell ammunition to anyone outside of CA?

30312 does say that -

(a) (1) Commencing January 1, 2018, the sale of ammunition by any party shall be conducted by or processed through a licensed ammunition vendor.
As already noted, the work-around is to take yourself and the ammo out of CA and sell, following the rules in the other state. (ETA: to a non-CA buyer, of course)

^^ Don't you have to put diamond symbol on package instead of wording?
