Feedback How to Sell Ammo?

[sac92101]

Can someone enlighten me on how to properly sell ammo to a private party? I can’t keep up with these laws. Is everyone meeting at an FFL?

Yup, like you’re buying from dealer but at what I’m assuming a better price

My understanding is that you can sell 499 rounds in the parking lot.
500 rounds has to be at an ffl.
Unless something has changed

Your understanding is incorrect!
Since 2018 all ammo sales in California must take place fact-to-face via a licensed ammunition vendor and require a background check, there is no quantity exception to this law.
You are legally allowed to sell up to 500 rounds of ammo per month without needing a vendor license.
You can sell ammo directly to an FFL/COE holder face-to-face or shipped

May be better to not spread misinformation if you are unsure, especially to someone who is looking for facts in order to comply with the laws.
