Can You Ship Ammo to California?

Yes, but it goes to a licensed dealer.

We ship to a licensed California ammunition vendor and you collect it there in person. That holds whichever way the current court case lands.

What you need at your end

  • California ID
  • 18 or over for long gun ammunition, 21 or over for handgun ammunition
  • Whatever the vendor asks of you at collection, which depends on where the court case has got to

Why California works this way

The rules here are unsettled. California's ammunition rules are unsettled right now and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The background check requirement was challenged in Rhode v. Bonta. A district court struck it down in January 2024, a Ninth Circuit panel agreed in July 2025, the court then reheard the case before eleven judges, and that en banc court has since affirmed the injunction against enforcement. None of that takes effect until the court issues its mandate, and California may still ask the Supreme Court to step in. The state's own guidance to dealers has not been updated since July 2025. So we send your order to a licensed vendor, which is lawful either way, and your vendor will tell you what is required of you on the day. If you want the official position, check the California DOJ Bureau of Firearms directly. Check the official position

Places in California we cannot reach

Local rules sit on top of the state ones. We cannot deliver to Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco and Avalon.

Magazines are a separate question

California limits magazines to 10 rounds. This catches people out, because it has nothing to do with the ammunition rules above. Even where ammunition reaches you without any trouble, we cannot send a magazine over the limit.
