CA: AB 962 Ammunition restrictions bill (2009)

[Librarian]

I'm often surprised how many CA folks are not on Calguns, but for those who are not, and those who do not get the NRA email notifications ...

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.

AB 962 just passed the Assembly and will be taken up by the Senate, probably next week.

If you live in California, a polite note to your State senator is in order.

This is a reprise of the same author's defeated bill of last session, AB 2062 (De Leon, 2008)
