As of January 1st — a mere 10 days away — it will be illegal to import ammunition into the state of California without going through a CA-based, licensed ammunition vendor. This includes internet and other mail orders. Some vendors are considering Friday, December 29th as the cut-off date so orders can ship prior to the law taking effect. Some vendors are considering NOW the cut-off date so orders can arrive prior to the law taking effect.
Either way, the time has come (or, possibly, just passed) to place those last internet ammunition orders to stock up at the best possible prices. Here are a few good options to find the best product at the best price:
