Subject: California Assembly Bill 962
Date: Sept. 22, 2009

We are writing to inform you of pending legislation that will restrict purchases of handgun ammunition in California and will terminate our ability to service your needs for certain products.

On Friday, Sept. 11, the California Assembly passed Assembly Bill 962, by a 44-31 vote.

Among other regulations, AB 962 would:

? Ban all mail-order and Internet sales of handgun ammunition.
? Prohibit the retail sale, the offer for sale or the display of handgun ammunition in a
manner that allows ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser without assistance of a
vendor or employee.
? Require that the delivery or transfer of ownership of handgun ammunition occur in a
face-to-face transaction, with the deliverer or transferor being provided bona fide
evidence of identity of the purchaser or other transferee.

That evidence of identity, which must be legibly recorded at the time of delivery, includes:

? The right thumbprint of the purchaser or transferee.
? The date of the sale or other transaction.
? The purchaser's or transferee's driver's license or other identification number and the
state in which it was issued.
? The brand, type and amount of ammunition sold or otherwise transferred.
? The purchaser's or transferee's signature.
? The name of the salesperson who processed the sale or other transaction.
? The purchaser's or transferee's full residential address and telephone number.
? The purchaser's or transferee's date of birth.

The bill is on the desk of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, where it awaits his consideration. He will have until Oct. 11 to sign or veto the bill. If he does not veto the bill, it will become law.

If you wish to comment on AB 962, you may contact Gov. Schwarzenegger by phone at (916) 445-2841, or via fax at (916) 558-3160. To e-mail Gov. Schwarzenegger, visit

We encourage all Cabela's customers who participate in the shooting sports to contact Gov. Schwarzenegger to voice their opposition to this initiative, which will limit your opportunities to shop with Cabela's, and will restrict the sale of handgun ammunition everywhere in California.

Unfortunatey what starts in California seems to move rapidly out of the state to other states - slowly at first but eventually it gets most places...

Remember a lot of elections are detirmined by what happens in California..

Hang-on

Yep . i hear ya . I moved from Kalifonia 4 years ago to Utah and he didn't get my vote . He was and is Way tooo moderate for me !! Also being that he was married a Kennedy , i just did not trust him . :evil: :evil:
 
sigh...ah hell.

I knew this was going to happen...I like to support my local (30 mins away) gun shop anyways...but they never seem to have what I want.


then again they will still ship out bullets right...they don't fall in to the ammunition category...right?
 
Just thought of something...

My "local" gun shop has been doing all that except for the finger prints for over an year now. :?:

I would wouldn't be surprised if reloading stuff is next on his list . But i hope not for you sake .
 
Yeah, I got an email about this from NRA-ILA. This is bogus and just another reason I don't like CA. :x

Boy, I though trying to get ammo and reloading components in Canada sucked - but nothing compared to what your Govenator just legislated. I am throwing out all my Terminator movies out of protest.

FYI - I am keeping the Predator movie. Jesse Ventura was a far superior actor (and politician).

Lol...I must be the only one on the forum that lives in California...
