    We Just Lost ammoman.com as a 03FFL & COE Internet Dealer . . .

    Since I've had my 03 FFL + COE for over 16 years, I've been taking advantage of the exemption in Proposition 63 to purchase my ammo from internet sellers. Most of ammo I've been purchasing over the past year or so has come from ammoman.com. Now that I have another 9mm in my stable (https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/....php?t=1533340), I decided to increase my cache of 9mm Luger by ordering a case of 9mm Luger from ammoman.com on Saturday 5/18. Everything went smoothly and the order shipped first thing this morning.

    This morning (5/20) I decided I could use a little more .45 ACP so I set up an order on ammoman.com. However, when I went to check out, a text box came up saying they could not sell to California. So, I called and left message asking if this was some new policy or a glitch on the website (that happened a few months ago on my account). A nice gentleman from ammoman.com called to inform me that as of this morning they were no longer selling to California, period. It had just become too much trouble. Apparently, it was not just the Proposition 63 stuff, but there is now a new California law about internet privacy, reporting requirements and such that was the final straw (it seems their attorneys got "nervous in the service").

    Well, at least I've got a case of 9mm coming. It's a real shame though, I've been dealing with ammoman.com since 1999, twenty years.

    Sounds like the new California law is about ELIMINATING internet privacy. Be ready for other vendors to follow suit.

      It wasn't 16 years, but I felt the same way when SGAmmo stopped selling to CA. I've found a couple replacements, but SG was my go to for several years.

        I believe the average IQ has dropped here over the course of my lifetime.
        And now view the movie Idiocracy as a documentary.

            I can't blame any company that doesn't want to deal with this screwed up state...

              Their crap is having the desired effect. Do you really think it was for the children?

                TargetSportsUSA is a good replacement.

                    Especially with a few fng's.

                      Check out prop 63
                      "It is currently CA legal to modify a double-action revolver into a single-action revolver and modify a single-action revolver into a double-action revolver.

                      CA DOJ BOF stance on modifying handguns only applies to dimensionally compliant bolt-action single-shot pistols and dimensionally compliant break-open single-shot pistols.
                      ^It does not apply to revolvers, manually operated repeating pistols, and semi-auto pistols." ~~ Quiet

                        The most recent vendors to drop are about the CCPA which goes into full effect Jan 1, 2020. As with some laws, there some dates before and after which are deadlines.

                          Sadly, I agree with you. This once proud state.....

                            Get into reloading. Really does not take much to get started. Contrary to what Dillon fanboys tout, you don't need a super progressive for reloading.

It's not even the politicians fault, it all of the stupid ****s that vote them into office and vote for all of their ****ed up bills to imcrease taxes at every step possible while oppressing the rights of law abiding citizens. Amazing that you could have 8 dui's on your record and walk right into a Chevy dealer with no valid license and purchase a 205mph Corvette and drive straight to a bar and not one single legislative act prohibits it, but if God forbid you have 11 rounds in a magazine instead of 10 you're a terrorist felon. Those that keep putting these people into office do it for one reason.....the promise of FREE **** FOR EVERYONE. The level of human stupidity at this point is going to be the our society as we know it
                              I don't think CA elections are the most honest elections in the country.
