Buying Ammo in California

There are a number of laws pertaining to firearms ownership and buying ammo in California, making it one of the most difficult states for gun owners in the nation. Generally, you can buy ammo in California if you are over 21 years old and are legally eligible to purchase and/or own a firearm.

Armor piercing rounds are generally not legal in California and state law will not allow the purchase of 50 BMG ammunition. Additionally, there are restrictions on magazines that do not allow you to buy magazines larger than 10 rounds. Of course, all federal laws also apply in the Golden State.

Lucky Gunner is no longer able to ship ammunition to California, not even to FFL dealers or Licensed Ammunition Vendors in the state.
