§§ 14-17 — AMMUNITION SALES
The bill generally bars the sale of ammunition or an ammunition magazine to anyone under age 18.
The bill creates an ammunition certificate (see below). Starting October 1, 2013, the bill generally prohibits anyone from selling ammunition or an ammunition magazine to any buyer unless he or she:
1. has a handgun permit, gun sale permit, or long gun or handgun eligibility certificate, and presents such a credential to the seller, or
2. has an ammunition certificate and presents to the seller (a) the certificate and (b) a driver's license, passport, or other valid government-issued identification that contains the person's photograph and date of birth.
The bill defines “ammunition” as a loaded cartridge, consisting of a primed case, propellant, or projectile, designed for use in any firearm. It defines “magazine” as a firearm magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that accepts ammunition.
Anyone who violates these provisions commits a class D felony.
Under the bill, these restrictions and requirements do not apply to sales or other transfers of ammunition between federally licensed firearm (1) manufacturers and dealers, (2) importers and dealers, or (3) dealers.
