Selling bulk ammo - Out of state?

[Rorge Retson]

Let's say someone wants to sell their ammo stash, or a lot of it (i.e. more than 500 rounds) before the end of the year. How would one do this legally? Would they have to sell it to someone in Arizona (and meet them there)? Asking for a friend.

If the person is physically in CA and selling more than 500 rounds within 30 days, then that person needs to be licensed as an ammunition vendor. [PC 30342(a)]
^There is no exemption for selling to an out-of-state buyer.

It is legal to physically travel to another State with any amount of ammunition and sell the ammunition while in that other State, as long as the transfer of ownership complies with the laws of that State.



Penal Code 30342
(a) Commencing January 1, 2018, a valid ammunition vendor license shall be required for any person, firm, corporation, or other business enterprise to sell more than 500 rounds of ammunition in any 30-day period.
(b) A violation of this section is a misdemeanor.
