Ammunition Sales
Restrictions Moving Forward in
California
Please Contact the Members of the Assembly
Committee on Appropriations Today!
Yesterday, the Assembly Committee on Public
Safety considered two bills of great concern to
California’s law-abiding gun owners.
Assembly Bill 962 was passed and now heads to
the
Assembly Committee on Appropriations where it
awaits a hearing. Sponsored by Assembly Member
Kevin De Leon (D-45), AB962 would make it a
crime
to privately transfer more than 50 rounds of
ammunition per month, even between family and
friends, unless you are registered as a
“handgun
ammunition vendor” in the Department of
Justice’s
database. Ammunition retailers would have to
be
licensed and store ammunition in such a manner
that it would be inaccessible to
purchasers. The
bill would also require purchasers submit to
fingerprinting, which would be submitted to the
Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order
ammunition sales would be prohibited.
Assembly Bill 357, sponsored by Assembly Member
Steve Knight (R-36), was defeated. This bill
would have created a “shall issue” concealed
handgun permit system in California. Under
current law, an applicant must show cause as to
why they should be issued a permit to carry a
concealed handgun for self-defense. AB357
would
have removed that stipulation and required
sheriffs to issue the license if all other
mandated criteria were satisfied.
Please contact the members of the Assembly
Appropriations Committee TODAY and respectfully
urge them to oppose AB962. Contact information
