Despite a Ninth Circuit ruling in Rhode v. Bonta declaring California's ammunition background check requirement unconstitutional, direct online ammo orders to homes remain illegal. This ruling does not immediately change current restrictions. Individuals must possess an FFL03 and COE to receive direct shipments. The CRPA and NSSF confirm the ongoing legal status and await DOJ clarification.
Reno May, an authoritative voice on firearms law, details the California Department of Justice's (DOJ) alleged bullying tactics against subscribers seeking Curio & Relics (C&R) FFL03 exemptions and Certificates of Eligibility (COE). He explains how the DOJ is illegally demanding FFL03 copies for COE applications and proposes a significant increase in ammunition background check fees. May provides actionable advice, including citing specific California Penal Codes to resist unlawful demands and encouraging participation with the CRPA to fight fee hikes.
This guide, presented by an authoritative firearms instructor, details the process for California residents to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) and an FFL03 license.

The steps involve applying through the ATF for the FFL03 and utilizing the California DOJ's CFARS system for the COE, including live scan fingerprinting.
This video discusses the impending closure of gun stores in California due to new laws taking effect in 2024. The creator highlights three main reasons, emphasizing new regulations such as mandatory general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per incident and the extension of the '1-in-30' firearm purchase restriction to all firearms, completed frames, receivers, and precursor parts starting January 1, 2024.
