Ammunition Purchase Laws Struck Down

On January 31st, 2024, a federal district court in the Southern District of California issued an order that enjoined the enforcement or implementation of several penal codes relating to the purchase of ammunition.

In brief, at this moment:
– ammunition purchasers do not have to undergo any background check before purchasing ammunition
– the ammunition transaction does not need to go through an FFL or ammunition vendor
– purchases need not be face-to-face transactions
– a California resident can bring or transport into the State ammunition that was purchased or otherwise obtained from outside of the state, provided the ammunition is legal to possess in California.
