Summary:
Covers ammunition -- which are loaded cartridges.
Starting 1/1/18, all sales must go through a licensed vendor. There are some exclusions for hunting clubs, ranges, etc. (30345).
Starting 7/1/19, all sales through vendors will require the vendor to record and transmit to the DOJ a record of purchase. ID, address, date, specific type and amount of ammo and more. Only a few exemptions exist for this requirement (30352/30369).
Starting 7/1/19, all sales must be approved electronically by the vendor. (30356) There is a C&R w/ COE, and other, exemptions here. (30356(8)/30370)
Sales, deliveries, and transfers of ammunition must take place face-to-face. (30364) Internet purchase are feasible, but ammo must be shipped to a vendor who will process the transaction consistent with these laws. There are exemptions, including C&R w/ COE. (30364(8)).
HOWEVER there is another section 30366 that states that when neither party is a vendor, the seller must deliver the ammo to a vendor to process the transaction. How this will co-exist with 30364 is unclear, but it may have been drafted so that the recording function of 30352/30369 takes place since C&R w/ COE is not exempted from the record requirement.
Limited sale of no more than 50 rounds per month between hunters or family members. (30367)
Starting 7/1/19, cannot purchase ammo out of state and bring it into CA unless the ammo has been delivered to a vendor for processing per these laws. (30368)
Complicating things is that several provisions of this law will go into effect if Newsom's bill passes in November. Furthermore, if Newsom's bill passes, many of the provisions of this law will not go into effect. You have to look at Sect. 19 of the bill to see what parts will only go into effect if Newsom's bill passes, and those will die if that bill passes.
