What are the benefits of having an FFL03 license in California?

An FFL03 license in California, when paired with a COE, exempts individuals from background checks on ammunition, bypasses the 1-in-30 day firearm purchase limit, and eliminates the 10-day waiting period for C&R long guns and handguns acquired from FFL dealers.
