Anybody seen this letter about the new California ammo buying rules (sent to me from Cabela's).
So guess this means that you are going to have to find your handgun ammo at a local dealer - no more catalog or internet ordering of handgun ammo.
Will this affect 45-70 Sharps cartridges (rifle ammo, not handgun)?

On Oct. 11, 2009, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 962, legislation that will restrict purchases of handgun ammunition in California, and will prohibit California residents from buying handgun ammunition through catalog and Internet vendors.
AB 962 will become law statewide Feb. 1, 2011. All orders for in-stock handgun ammunition shipped to customers in California must be placed by Jan. 21, 2011, at 9 p.m. CST, and must be delivered by Jan. 31, 2011, to conform with the new regulations contained in AB 962.
In addition to banning catalog and Internet sales of handgun ammunition, AB 962 will:
• Prohibit the retail sale, the offer for sale, or the display of handgun ammunition in a manner that allows it to be accessible without assistance of an employee.
• Require that the delivery or transfer of ownership of handgun ammunition occur in a face-to-face transaction, with the deliverer or tranferor being provided bona fide evidence of identity of the purchaser or other transferee.
That evidence of identity, which must be legibly recorded at the time of delivery, includes:
• The right thumbprint of the purchaser or transferee.
• The brand, type and amount of ammunition sold or otherwise transferred.
• the purchaser's or transferee's full residential address and telephone number.
• The purchaser's or transferee's date of birth.
We appreciate the support of our many valuable California shooting-sports customers over the years, and regret that we will no longer be able to provide them with handgun ammunition through catalog or Internet sales after Jan. 21, 2011.
