    Are peace officers exempt from SB 53?

    if passed, will we be able to purchase ammo without paying the $50 fee
    and going thru a background check?

    will placed like walmart still sell ammo?

    I don't know. But what I found quite interesting when reading the bill was in bold print stating (THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS) I don't remember being asked or the option to vote on this matter. From reading this it makes it look like everybody in California agrees with it. But in reality the( people )means just the legislators.

      considering i work with an assault rifle with 30 rounds everyday, it would be silly to make me do a background check for ammo. then again i do have to pay for a background check to purchase firearms

          No exemption from getting the 'authorization' for LEO. Does appear that LEO is exempt from the proposed 30312(a) 'face to face' requirement, at 30312 (b)(2).

                I've had to find specific vendors to purchase real (so called high cap) magazines. Assuming it'll be like that with ammo. Some places will sell to us, some won't. That's assuming these laws actually pass. I'm planning for the worst.

                The ammo background is stupid. I've already been through a more thorough background than any freakin DOJ gun check.

                  The difference as far as being special compared to a regular citizen, is the citizen is not required to take a polygraph nor a psychiatric exam. LEO's are. Therefore they can't tell if your mentally unbalanced.

                    im a peace officer and i didnt have to take a polygraph. and you only have to take a psych eval once. if it was up to me, there wouldnt be background checks or waiting periods for anything.
                    we've been under a tyrannical govt for a while now.

                    boiling frog situation. imagine 20 years from now.

                    if we cant trust you with a gun, why are you in society?

                        5 hour test to buy 50 rounds of .40. Now that's the California I know.....now.

                          Considering police officers can get ammo given to them from their agencies it won't be as much of an issue.

                              Maybe in Mayberry or Petticoat Junction but it is not happening in CA in 2013. If you quit my department and you were issued a Beretta 92FS, three magazines and 46 rounds. When you are signing out the range staff needs to sign off for a Beretta 92FS, three magazines and 46 rounds. Savvy?
