Turners Pasadena FUD?

[stillnotbob]

So my Wife stops off after work on Wednesday at the Pasadena Turners location to pick up some 9mm ammo. It was PMC Bronze 9mm 50 ct. on sale for $10.59 (Wednesday special only... limit 5 boxes). She texts me that she is still waiting at the counter to be helped. This confused me because at that Turners location always had their ammo out on a back table.

This is where the FUD comes into play. The person at the counter told my Wife that all ammo (not shotgun) needed to be behind the counter as of LAST January. Also, this coming January they are required to have all the shotgun ammo behind the counter too.

I know this was not the case because we went there in June (maybe May...not sure the exact month) and bought $400 worth of ammo (both rifle and handgun) from the table with nothing behind the counter.

Does anyone know if this is some kind of new Pasadena City ordinance? Are they just BS-ing her? I figured that they might be getting ready for the new law to take affect in January. Though that only affects handgun ammo.

I know, I know... Turners.... but my Wife likes shopping there for her guns. I prefer other gun store locations, but until this I thought Turners was coming around. Their prices might be higher but they are convenient. My Wife does not mind paying more for that.

I went there a about a month ago. I think I recall seeing a bunch of shotgun ammo and not any pistol on that table. Didn't think anything of it @ the time. Turners have always been a lil off in their ways though.

FUD is not a synonym for wrong information.

Bass-Pro Shop in Rancho Cucamonga, as well as, Turners in RC and San Bernardino do the same thing.

They told me if i bought a bb AR from Ade's that it's a felony for having that. And now they sell them...

Trust me... I prefer going to Walmart. Though every time I go others have beat me and the shelves picked clean.

My Wife just said she would stop by there because its close to her work. Nice woman for her willingness to pick up ammo on her way home.

You are right. Not really FUD.

Maybe not FUD but B.S. nonetheless.

AB962 went into effect on Jan 1, 2010 and it requires that all handgun ammo be sequestered away from the customer (behind the counter). Unfortunately the definition of "handgun ammo" is open enough that if a handgun was ever commercially chambered in a specific "rifle" caliber, that it could possibly be deemed handgun ammo by one of the 58 DAs. Because of that, some stores have decided to put all non-shotgun ammo behind the counter, in a cautionary move.

I may be wrong, but AB962 isn't in effect until Feb, 1 2011? At least that is what I have been reading.

AB962 was signed in late 2009 and went into effect on Jan 1, 2010, like all laws normally do. A small portion of AB962 has a delayed enforcement date of Feb, 2011, but that does not apply to the sequesting of handgun ammo away from the public. That portion went into effect Jan 1, 2010.

Here, read the law for yourself, http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/...chaptered.html

Portions went into effect already. The fingerprinting and mail order restrictions kick in next February unless blocked by the current legal action.

Most stores are being overly cautious because of the vague way the law was written.
