But they failed to do so. They submitted the <em>proposed<\/em> regulations three days ago (December 1), which, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20171201\/california-doj-submits-proposed-ammunition-vendor-licensing-regulations-to-the-office-of-administrative-law\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"california-ammo-regs-giving-vendors-trouble\" title=\"New California Ammo Regs Already Giving Vendors Trouble\">NRA-ILA<\/a> points out, doesn\u2019t give ammunition vendors enough time to apply for and obtain a license before the law takes effect.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the Golden State bureaucracy expedites the approval process, ammunition dealers will still not have enough time to get the state\u2019s permission to sell ammunition. Unless the state extends the deadline, 6 million firearms owners in California might not have access to ammunition after the beginning of the new year.<\/p>\n<p>Online sales aren\u2019t an option as out-of-state vendors begin halting direct sales to customers in California.<\/p>\n<p>Texas-based Defender Outdoors announced last month that it will cease direct online sales to California residents on December 17, 2017. Calling Prop. 63 a \u201cwhole new level of government oversight,\u201d Defender Outdoors will only ship ammunition to licensed vendors, who may not even be able to receive it for another several months.<\/p>\n<p>Law-abiding Californians also won\u2019t be able to bring in ammunition from another state. As the law <a href=\"https:\/\/voterguide.sos.ca.gov\/en\/propositions\/63\/analysis.htm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"california-ammo-regs-giving-vendors-trouble\" title=\"New California Ammo Regs Already Giving Vendors Trouble\">expressly prohibits<\/a> such action. Failure to comply with Prop. 63 will result in a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/california-gun-store-owners-reel-prop-63\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"california-ammo-regs-giving-vendors-trouble\" title=\"New California Ammo Regs Already Giving Vendors Trouble\">California SNAFU: Prop. 63 Proves to be Nightmare for Gun Shops, Ammo Dealers<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The inability of vendors to obtain a permit by the new year isn\u2019t the only problem with the law. The NRA-ILA <a href=\"https:\/\/michellawyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/949585_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"california-ammo-regs-giving-vendors-trouble\" title=\"New California Ammo Regs Already Giving Vendors Trouble\">notes<\/a> several flaws in the sections of Prop. 63 that deal with ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t clear, for example, for how long ammunition licenses will be valid. The proposed regulation says that \u201cthe term of an ammunition vendor license is from January 1 through December 31. Regardless of the date of the initial license is issued.\u201d This directly contradicts California law, which says that the license will be valid for \u201ca period of one year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The regulations also don\u2019t clarify whether ammunition stored behind the counter is permissible under the law. The law stipulates that the ammunition must be stored in such a way that requires the assistance of an employee. As the NRA-ILA points out, ammunition is often stored behind the counter in open shelving. This setup would seem to comply with the law. But the California DOJ hasn\u2019t said one way or the other.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not California gets their act together before the January 1 deadline, now is the time for gun owners in the Golden State to invest in reloading equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year Californians voted in favor of Proposition 63, a measure that institutes background checks for
