Asking for a friend - ammo taken out of state, can I bring back any I have left?
If i am visiting AZ for a few days, i want to take my firearm with me with just a box ammo. Can i bring it back in my ammo? Or do i have to recycle it.

California is such a screwed up state I would not jeopardize my freedom for a box of ammo, even if it were for a few minutes explaining how the ammo was bought in California. Shoot all the ammo you take with you and you won’t have any issues.

Who is going to stop you and search your car without a probable cause?

Personally, I wouldn’t sweat it. It’s not like you’re transporting hundreds or thousands of rounds. If you just happened to buy the box before you left and saved the receipt, that would be helpful too.
Edit: When I say “you”, I meant your friend

CA laws does not prohibit or restrict a CA resident leaving CA with ammunition, they acquired in CA, and returning to CA with that same ammunition. |

If you purchased ammo in ca and took it outside and brought remaining ammo back, u didnt break any laws. You dont need a receipt. No one can prove u didnt buy in ca.
Dont worry too much, youre thinking way way too much. |

LOL, when I go out of state varmint hunting I often take a couple thousand combination of factory loads and reloads with me. Often I bring more than 1000 back home with me. They are not going to prevent me from doing that with my own ammo. Receipts? Almost all the commecial ammo I still have left was bought years ago, unpackaged and stored in ammo boxes. So, I transfer burden of proof to them as to when the ammo was obtained. And they will have a fight on their hands should they try and confiscate it without proof I bought it out of state recently. I own it and I'll keep it. Plus I would NEVER allow them to search without a warrant or specific or written probable cause. No matter what laws these gun grabbing SOB's pass I still have a Constitutional right against illegal search and seizure without cause. Besides, I've crossed across the CA border numerous times in recent months. The only question I've been asked is where I'm coming from and whether I have any fruits or vegetables with me. I generally tell them, "No, everyone in my family is straight, no fruits in the truck. Are fruits illegal now? Thank God."

Law enforcement has to prove you broke the law.
You don't have to prove you didn't.

Illegals can bring in ammo...they aren’t residents.

probably safer to not have any ammunition in your possession on the way back, they might even confiscate your firearms as a nuisance if you are caught bringing back guns & ammo from AZ
dont give them a reason / excuse to take your stuff or charge you with something in today's anti gun climate you have to treat everything with extra caution I get nervous just making it to the local range, hoping I dont get pulled over / questioned about where Im coming from or where Im going, making it to the range and back without a traffic stop is a relief. not worth the risk, use up what you have while out of state Last edited by omega; 09-25-2018 at 8:03 AM.. |

Has anyone on this board been stopped and hassled or are we left with arguing theoreticals?
Yes, I know, I dont want to be the test case, but I do want to know if it's a likely issue or an unlikely issue. |

Take a video with your phone of what your taking with you and email it to yourself from your phone. That will establish the date and time you had the ammunition and your phone records would establish your whereabouts at that time.

IF......IF a LEO manages to identify the elements necessary to prove you are importing ammunition into CA, the only recourse available is a citation for the importation and confiscation of the contraband. No one is going to have their guns taken as a result of a citation. Quote:
The range I prefer is 20 miles away. The local area hosts various LEAs and correction institutions, as well as the CHP Academy and County Sheriff’s Academy. The academies put their soon-to-be graduates on the streets to learn. So, there’s a high level of LEO rolling around. My weapons and ammo are legally secured, and I drive safely. I don’t worry about them stopping me. There a thousands of morons on the road to keep these folks busy.

No questions asked about fruit or produce being transported, or what many posting here are worried about - the dreaded questions about transporting weapons or ammunition. Of course it may have been due to my being almost 60 years old, clean cut, wearing a Marine Corps ball cap and having USMC bumper stickers on the vehicles. P.S. - I have satellite TV, and the Bay Area TV stations have never shown hours long back ups at the Ca Ag Check Stations even on Holiday Weekends...

Jeopardize your freedom?
#1: Why in the world would anyone even know that you have ammo in your car. #2: It's an infraction which means that the crime must be committed in the presence of the officer or a witness that saw you purchase it out of state, saw you bring it into the state and be willing to testify to that in court and be willing to make a citizens arrest. #3: Since it is an infraction, even if you were guilty of violating the law, it is handled like a traffic ticket, you would be cited and sent on your way. You don't go to jail over infractions.
