Walmart ammo

[oldveteran]

For a moment I thought you meant there will be a 10-day waiting period for ammunition sales.

Give it time and more than likely you will see this also...

[Quiet]

I wonder if a case can be made to do away with the 10 day waiting period since they can obviously do an instant check for ammo?

Nope.

In the lawsuit challenging CA's waiting period (Silvester v Harris), CA DOJ admitted that, due to advances in technology, it takes less than one hour to complete a background check and the waiting period is more of a "cooling off" period, than a time period to complete a background check.

The lower Federal Court judge determined that the "cooling off" period was a good idea/reasonable restriction and ruled that it stays in place, but only for new firearm buyers.
^This would have made persons with registered firearms, persons with valid COE, and persons with valid CA LTC permits exempt from the waiting period.

CA DOJ appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that the waiting ("cooling off") period applies to all firearm transferees.

SCOTUS refused to hear the case, so the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling stands.

I can hardly wait to read about how a new Calif law requires you to have a "ammo ID card" and require you the buyer to demonstrate safe and proper handling of ammo at each and every purchase. The ID card is annual renewal and for the small fee of only 25 dollars. Must provide a certified copy of your birth certificate to apply, it's for the children in the "TOW" ya know.

Birth certificate? In California?

Racist much?

And proud to.

Just stopped by the Barstow Walmart and had a chat with the guy manning the counter in the sporting goods department and noticed the same sign. He said that they will continue to sell ammo after they get the system up and running. Since I was there standing in front of the ammo lockup( had fishing line on my shopping list), I picked up a few boxes of 9mm Win NATO, you know, since I was in the big city.

The only reason I still buy ammo at Wal-Mart is for the cheap 12g and an occasional box of this or that. Otherwise I buy online and shipped directly to me. I highly recommend those of you who do hold a 03FFL and COE do so.

Soon to be useless as more and more vendors refuse to deal with California resident purchasers.

Bought some ammo from the Palmdale WM this morning. There was no posted sign. Asked if they were still going to sell ammo after July first and was told they don’t know.

Also purchased some shoot n see targets while there.

Saw the sign at the Chino Walmart too. Good news.

Aren't they forgetting the initial $30 background check fee that puts you in their system? It's either a one-time fee or it's good for a year.

[Dvrjon]

Wasn't there going to be a restriction on how much ammo you can purchase as well? Or was that removed.

No limit on amounts to buy, nor on calibers.

I hope CRPA has a lawsuit planned for all this. This is like charging me to vote.

Rhode v. Becerra already filed.

Everyone should have stocked up last year from Target Sport or SG Ammo when there was no sales tax and sometimes free shipping.

Burned my card up in 2017/2018. This year, I’ve bought guns to ensure I had current entries in AFS.

Soon to be useless as more and more vendors refuse to deal with California resident purchasers.

You’ve been beating that drum for a while. Tell Becerra his plan isn’t working.

Aren't they forgetting the initial $30 background check fee that puts ryou in their system? It's either a one-time fee or it's good for a year.

If you’re in AFS, it’s $1; if you’re not in AFS, it’s the cost of DROS ($19). If the $19 check goes through, it’s good for one purchase or 30 days.

They do not sell 10mm or .38 super so I am good.
