Internet Ammo Sales

[Lissauer]

I wonder if this will be able to be circumvented with a C&R license.

[Rule .308]

I think you're parsing that incorrectly. Should go:

(a) Commencing July 1, 2009, the sale or other transfer of
ownership of handgun ammunition may only occur

in a face-to-face transaction

with the [ seller or transferor ] (that is, the person who has the ammo at the beginning of the transaction, whether it is a sale, gift, trade or whatever)

being provided bona fide evidence of identity

from the purchaser or other transferee.

You've got that right, it not only means that it must be face to face but you must also provide some form of identification to the person providing the ammo.

So why did they put or in, (12318. (a) Commencing July 1, 2009, the sale or other transfer of ownership of handgun ammunition may only occur in a face-to-face
transaction with the seller or transferor being provided bona fide
evidence of identity from the purchaser or other transferee. A
violation of this section is a misdemeanor.) if they did not want to give us an alternative?

I realize that a face-to-face requires ID

De Leon doesn't want to give us an alternative.

The 'or' you are focusing on joins the two words 'seller' and 'transferor', and applies 'face to face transaction' to BOTH. It is not the case that 'face to face' applies only to 'seller', and that some other kind of transferor can accept 'evidence of identity' in some other manner, not face to face.

The current analysis of the bill says the bill is supposed to

(12) provide that it is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6
months in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both, to transfer
handgun ammunition in anything other than a face-to-face
transaction with the transferor being provided with bona fide
evidence of the transferee's identity.

I stand corrected. For some reason I read it incorrectly.

thanks for the help, does anyone know anything specifically about internet ammo sales to kern or yolo counties and their applicable cities?

and yes Mr. CA legislator, this ammo law will vastly reduce crime!

The whole point of the legislation is to be obstruct the act, so I doubt if that will happen. But considering how poorly the morons in sacramento craft even the most important of their disarmament efforts, it just well might.

To the original question, L.A. City (including all its consitituent named sub-regions) forbids mail-order ammo. But not reloading components, the last time I checked.
There are a few other municipalities that have done so, creating such a patchwork that some mail-order dealers have sworn off selling to CA altogether - which again is the intent of the legislation. Disarmament by other means.

Lots of places won't ship to Yolo county if you're anywhere within Sacramento due to the city ordinance passed there. As far as I know, Kern county should be OK.

People are still shooting ammo from WWII I'd say it last a lifetime.

[Slayer]

OP - Put it this way. STOCK UP NOW!! If AB2062 passes, you can bet your hat that ammo prices are going to skyrocket. The retailers who choose to continue to sell ammo (and put up with the headaches) are going to charge a premium.

UPS just delivered my latest shipment from AMMOBROS: 1000 rnds 9mm JHP, 1000 rnds 40s&w JHP, 1000 rnds XMAE223 SP, and 1000 rnds Wolf 7.62 mil-clsc JHP. This is in addition to what I already have stored up. Since the price of ammo mostly goes up, I consider it an investment, as well as a safeguard against future ammo restrictions. Gotta do it now.
