I haven't bought any ammo for years in California. I bought it on line when I needed it, but that's no longer an option.
Anyhow, I was in Sportsman's Warehouse the other day and spotted a box of shotgun shells I wanted to buy. First thing I had to do was take a number and then hang out and wait for my number to be called, about a half hour. Must be the covid thing.
They finally call my number so I tell the guy I want to buy a box of ammo. He takes my "REAL ID" driver's license and then tells me I'm not in the system. In order to be in the system I would have had to buy a gun in the past 6 years at my address. Nope.
He then tells me to go online and create an account at CFARS . GOV. and by the way, after you create an account it takes about 6 weeks for them to okay me, and there is a $19 fee. So, I guess I'm at least 6 weeks out from buying a box of shotgun shells?
I thought a law abiding citizen from California could buy ammo in this State. Guess I was pretty naive, unless the guy gave me some bad information.
