Q: Can you ship ammunition directly to my California address?

Q: What do I need to bring when picking up my order?
You’ll need a valid California Driver’s License or government-issued ID. Your information will be processed through the DoJ’s system at the time of pickup. Once approved, you may complete your purchase and take possession of your ammunition.

Q: Can I send someone else to pick up my order?
No. The person who places the order must be the one to complete the eligibility check and take possession of the ammunition.

Q: What happens if my eligibility check is denied?
If the DoJ denies your eligibility check, we cannot transfer ammunition to you. Your order will be canceled and your payment authorization will be released.

Q: Are there additional fees when purchasing ammunition in California?
Yes. Under California law, all ammunition purchases must go through a DoJ eligibility check at the time of transfer. This check is separate from the cost of the ammunition and is non-refundable once submitted.

Q: When are these fees charged?
The fee is collected at the time of your DOJ background check during pickup at our Signal Hill facility. Payment is separate from your ammunition purchase.

Q: What happens if my check is denied?
