They didn't. I don't think they can search your vehicle either as it would constitute illegal search and seizure. I have heard that Cabela's in Reno won't sell you more than 2 boxes if you're from CA but I have not confirmed this.

I found what I was talking about.
"This new requirement is one of two new ammunition laws that were passed by the California legislature or adopted by California voters in 2016. The law that took effect on January 1 will generally prohibit gun owners from bringing ammunition into the Golden State or from purchasing their ammunition online."

I was at a gun shop on Saturday to get a rail bar for mounting an scope to my .22 Ruger semi auto. I talked to the guy there about the ammo situation.
I asked what happens if you are out of state and need ammo on an hunt can you buy it. He told me we can buy it but that Kali will enforce the law if you are bringing back say 5 or 6 boxes. He said they assume you will go out of state with two boxes of ammo for each gun you bring. If they check you and you have more they can cite you.
Not too sure of anything at this point, only time will tell but at least they didn't make it so you couldn't buy ammo in another state because of your residency in Kali.

That seems logical to me. I hope that's the case otherwise I may get cited at the bug station.....or use up all my ammo at the bug station, one or the other....

Correct me if I'm wrong (does happen) but I'm under the impression that this is illegal under Interstate Commerce laws. They tried this with the taking of legal mountain lions from other states and could not ban the importation of one's kill. This will be challenged I'm sure as illegal.

you're stating the obvious to rational people....the California Legislature is anything but interested in the US Constitution.

What do you mean that they could not ban the importation of legally killed mountain lions? Did that law get reversed?

You're forgetting that this is CA. They think they can and do whatever they want regardless of federal law and the constitution. The mountain lion importation ban is alive and well. The only way for things to change in this state is to start voting out liberal moron legislators. The only people more stupid than the idiots in power in this state are the idiots who put them there.
I think what most of you are forgetting is for the past 25-30 years the egotistical liberal democratic California legislators have been more interested in putting their signatures on as many obscure piece of crap laws that might get them 10 minutes of fame and notoriety so they can move up to the next level of state or federal government. It doesn't matter if it makes any sense or how much it costs. As long as it gets passed.
What I think they fail to understand or even care about is nearly all of the crap laws they pass are nearly impossible to enforce.
