Why lawful CA gun owners are being denied ammunition purchases | The Sacramento Bee

Zachary Berg usually buys guns and ammunition with relative ease. After all, he’s a Sutter County sheriff’s deputy and needs them for his job. California’s stringent gun laws usually don’t apply to him.

But Berg couldn’t buy shotgun shells at his local hardware store in Yuba City prior to a duck hunting trip last month. He was rejected under California’s stringent ammunition background check program that took effect July 1, because his personal information didn’t match what state officials had in their database.

Berg was one of tens of thousands of Californians who have been turned away from buying ammunition at firearms and sporting goods stores, even though they appear to be lawfully able to do so, a Sacramento Bee review of state data shows. Between July 1 and November, nearly one in every five ammunition purchases was rejected by the California Department of Justice, the figures show.

The Top .30-30 Lever Action Rifles | Survival Sullivan

There is hardly a rifle that is more enshrined in American culture than the lever-action. These are the rifles that helped tame the Wild West. These are the rifles that have been in the hands of guides and trappers and frontiersmen.

New Generation of Kids Embrace Firearms and Shooting Sports

Despite the anti-gun rhetoric you've been hearing from some televised children lately, there is another, unheralded story of kids who have no fear of guns. Recent weeks have seen the media promoting a decidedly anti-gun point of view, with children acting as messengers. These kids have targeted the NRA and gun owners as being complicit in the recent deaths of students at the hands of a mass shooter. It's a corrupt narrative that justifiably has gun owners and Constitutional advocates feeling unduly persecuted. Judging by the media coverage one would think that their anti-gun narrative is the pervasive attitude among school children. It's not. There is another side to the narrative, a side that has many kids embracing firearms and the shooting sports.

Inspecting the build quality and engineering of a Glock 17 gen 5.

Interesting to see how you can engineer a product to be very reliable out of relatively cheaply machined and manufactured materials. Reliability isn't necessarily based on a quality of material used, but the engineering that goes behind it. That said, some of the ways Ave handled that gun while dissembling it had me nervous, even if it was unloaded.

Dick’s CEO Says Anti-Gun Policy Created ‘Quarter-Billion Dollar’ Loss

One of those brands was Dick's Sporting Goods, a national retailer with a substantial presence in the both the hunting and shooting markets, which has now lost about $250 million after taking a stance less than two years ago.

CEO Ed Stack decided not only to stop selling certain guns and to hire lobbyists to push for stricter gun-control policies, but he also chose to stop selling firearms to customers under the age of 21 and had the company destroy $5 million of rifle inventory.
