Mammoth Ivory/Molars

[CZR38Super]

Good morning.

From why I've read, we can't buy mammoth ivory and have it shipped to CA. If I already owned it prior to moving here, am I allowed to sell it then?

[Woodymyster]

Not anymore. CA used to exempt the sell ban on pre 1977 ivory, but since it was impossible to enforce the ban, they passed ab96 a few years ago and banned all sales of ivory in the state.

Thank you for the reply, that's what I thought but just wanted to make sure. Have a great weekend and stay safe out there.

Good advice: main reason I carry is to protect me and my family from mammoth.

And being right handed, it's the primary reason I train just as thoroughly with my left hand - because my right hand is often busy dragging my wife by her hair.

Nope.

It seems everything in this state is banned except for being homeless and high on meth, illegal immigrants, and corrupt democrat politicians.

It seems everything in this state is banned except for being homeless and high on meth, illegal immigrants, and corrupt democrat politicians.

This is deemed acceptable to California democrats , although this particular case happened near Seattle .

From an 80 year old YMCA female member :
"I saw a man in a woman’s bathing suit watching maybe four or five little girls pulling down their suits in order to use the toilet,” she said. “I asked if he had a penis and he said it was none of my business. I told that man to ‘get out right now.’”
Fact is the male was allowed to stay and the old woman was forced to leave . Democrat polices at their finest .

Is the California government worried if selling Mammoth is legal it will increase poaching and Mammoths may become extinct?

Because I have something to tell them.

About Mammoths.

So not illegal to possess it appears.
