Remarks/ Notes

Alaska

Restricted Ammo Sales

Due to Shipping Regulations

California

ALL AMMO SALES Can NO LONGER go directly to you...The embarassing 9th circus appeals court gave the CA gov. a stay on Judge St. Benitez recent 2024 ruling that had struck down the requirement of a 3rd party intermediary and background check for simple ammo acquisition...so THE BELOW RULES ARE BACK IN EFFECT for Californians :

FFL (gun shop, pawn shop or other business that deals in firearms and has the Federal Firearms License).

CA Ammo Vendor's License (business that sells/deals in ammo but not firearms like a sporting goods shop that does not sell firearms but does sell ammo).

03 FFL (C&R) with the required CA C.O.E. (certificate of eligibility).  Yes, we DO ship to 03's with the COE.

Per your state's STILL worsening laws.  But a huge thanks to fed. Judge Roger Benitez.

  • We've received many CA FFL's and licenses to date but do not have a comprehensive list of the ones we have on file.
  • It's best to always contact your chosen FFL/business that you want to use for your ammo "transfer" to have them send us their current license (if needed) and to ensure they do still receive shipments and to find out their process/pricing.
  • Finally do know that there is still the required BACKGROUND CHECK when purchasing or receiving ammo at any shop in CA now (as of 7.1.19).
  • Basically, it's more difficult now to get ammo at all in CA, but we plan to ship as much as we can to you in CA.  So please bear with us, this process isn't quick but we'll continue to ship ammo into CA for as long as we can.
