America's #1 Online Cigar Auction
first, best, biggest!

So I went to buy ammo yesterday and I knew it would be interesting since we now background check for buying ammo. Well…I got rejected like many do. Turns out they don’t really do a background check and instead do a database check. They check for Automated Firearms System records through the California Firearms Application Reporting System (CFARS). This is the gun registry database. The system couldn’t find me so I got rejected. So if you’ve never bought a gun in California or registered a gun you can’t buy ammo. A resident can’t ship or carry ammo into the state because that’s illegal. I actually am in the database. When I moved here I had to register my guns with attorney general Kamala Harris because if you bring a handgun into the state you are considered a firearms importer by law. The problem is I am in the database at my old address. It matches on name, address, state ID#, and birth date. Now I need to create a CFAR account and enter my current information. The next step will be to try to link my existing AFS records to my CFAR and my correct address. After that I can wait some unknown period of time and try to buy ammo again. One of the recommendations to solve this quicker is to just go buy a new gun and sit out the waiting period. Sensible gun laws. I am now infringed.

Its for your own safety you know.

California common sense gun laws have contributed to it being the safest state in the union. That is why so many people move there from central america.

Damn... have I ever said I'm not moving to California? I'll retire in Florida instead... Damn, you guys trying to give me nightmares.

This is a load of crap. If you don't have the gun according to their records, then selling ammo to you would keep it out of the hands of all those gun owning maniacs. That said: Blackouts, I joke, are like sleepwalking with activities. - RW

[quote=Mike3316]My wife is a native Californian. We even lived there for a couple of years back in the lata 80's. And - my son lived there for a couple years as well - until he moved to Nevada 2 yrs ago. That state is such a disaster at this point my wife and I refuse to even visit there. Not a chance that I would spend one dollar of my hard earned money to support that insanity! Nope. We've already got our retirement spots picked out. We'll be doing the 'snowbird' routine - traveling between Montana (10 acres purchased) and South Carolina. My projection is @ 8 yrs and I'm out of NJ for good.

[quote=Mike3316]HD - why not just take a weekend and drive to Nevada (or Arizona) buy what you need and then drive home?[/quote] If you buy ammo out of state you have to ship it to a gun dealer and do the background check process. Cal DOJ is known to visit Reno gun shows and Cabelas to spot Californians buying stuff.

Kommiefornia! As a native California, it is great to be free and not living in California. Good luck HD, the IT people probably get a bonus for the number of rejections they engineer.

What if someone in a much more unrestricted state, shipped some ammo, entirely by accident completely flubbed the address, and it just happened to show up on your doorstep? That may start encroaching on some federal rules at that point I s'pose.

What if you trained some pigeons, and then when they were out flying around, coincidentally over state lines, they accidentally got tangled up in a round or two. You would be obligated to free them for the good of the wildlife, and you couldn't just dispose of the ammo for the good of the populace. And it's not your fault this keeps happening. You would have no choice but to store it for safekeeping

LMAO….true

[quote=danmdevries]What about reloading components?[/quote] They have not banned that yet. Sounds like an opportunity to create a new sensible gun law.

[quote=8trackdisco]I think you should double-Down. Find another bathroom and stick 100k in it.[/quote] The first bathroom is done with demo. Now for construction. Then demo the second bath.

[quote=HockeyDad]Illegal in California. [/quote] Its only illegal if they catch you. [flapper]

Wait til they start sending them “booster” ammo.

[quote=HockeyDad]They have not banned that yet. Sounds like an opportunity to create a new sensible gun law. [/quote] When I was shooting a lot more I stocked up, and have saved brass pretty much since I started shooting. I have enough lead, primers, and powders to be a hazmat site. No worries about ammo availability for a long time. Progressive auto press once dialed in cranks out a few hundred rounds an hour. I dont know what current prices and availability are on reloading equipment and components but at least start with saving brass. If anything the scrap value is high. But with the hoops you gotta jump through, a reloading setup may be worthwhile.

Did you ever think that if you don't buy a gun ..........then you don't need ammo. Beside a baseball bat works better away and you can get some exercise in. Have a happy trip to Tezas

With logic like that, it's no wonder the anti- gun arguments fall on deaf ears.

[quote=MACS]Look... I live in CA and I was born and raised in RI... but I find it absolutely hilarious that a dude from NJ would have the gonads to criticize either. CA sucks. RI sucks. NJ sucks. Do not throw stones if you live in a glass house. The wife is now 100% onboard with moving. We shall have to start looking at spots.[/quote] =d> I think Gardner, MA would be a good destination. We got... umm... let me think... umm... some stuff... like small and rather quiet town with New England weather. Sorry that's the best I can come up with.

[quote=Abrignac]Drove in to SoCal this evening. Hopefully, I’ll be driving out tomorrow. [/quote] My condolences for you having to drive to SoCal. [-o<

[quote=BuckyB93]=d> I think Gardner, MA would be a good destination. We got... umm... let me think... umm... some stuff... like small and rather quiet town with New England weather. Sorry that's the best I can come up with.[/quote] Close to restaurants with lawbstah rolls, stuffies and clamcakes. I'd have started there.

[quote=MACS]You, sir... are absolutely retarded and likely why CA is so f---ed up. I am also in SoCal (for now). This state BLOWS.[/quote] The first step to freedom. Do settle on a new location before putting the house up for sale. If you haven't settled on Florida, consider South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. It's had to beat no income tax, though other states have generous tax exceptions for military retirees and not as many hurricanes, crappy drivers, or tourists as Florida.
