Starting in February 2011, the law will criminalize the delivery and transfer of handgun ammunition not done in face-to-face transactions. The law requires shipping companies to implement procedures to determine whether the recipient of a package containing handgun ammunition is covered by one of the exceptions in the law before delivering handgun ammunition in California. This places a big burden on the shippers, and will make shipping ammunition to California much more difficult and likely more expensive.<\/p>\n<p>The new lawsuit, filed today in Sacramento\u2019s Eastern District Federal Court, alleges that these provisions of the law violate the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act, which prohibits states and local municipalities from interfering with carriers\u2019 rates, routes, or services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t about firearms or ammunition. Congress made an important decision to keep motor carriers free from a patchwork of burdensome regulation as we move America\u2019s goods to market\u201d said Jim Johnston, OOIDA President. \u201cWe cannot allow California to subject our members to criminal liability where the state has no right to meddle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>California depends on the efficient movement of goods by carrier into California. \u201cCalifornia legislators have become accustomed to trampling the rights of California\u2019s gun community. However, this time they\u2019ve taken that recklessness into a field that will hurt every Californian. AB-962 will slow down everyone who orders goods online or buys goods at a retail store,\u201d said Gene Hoffman, Chairman of The Calguns Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2008, a unanimous United States Supreme Court struck down Maine\u2019s directly analogous law regarding the delivery of cigarettes to Maine in Rowe v. New Hampshire Motor Transport. \u201cIt does not matter what the State\u2019s goal is or how honorable they believe their cause is,\u201d stated lead attorney, Jason Davis of Davis &amp; Associates. \u201cRowe made it clear that a state cannot interfere with a carrier\u2019s rates, routes, or services. AB962 does just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Sacramento Valley Shooting Center, we currently provide handgun ammunition sales to the public,\u201d said Jim Bass, President of Folsom Shooting Club. \u201cShould the shipping restrictions in AB-962 take effect, we have no way to prove to shippers that we are a handgun ammunition vendor under the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This case follows a Second Amendment and Commerce Clause challenge entitled State Ammunition v. Lindley, and a California State Court Challenge to the vagueness and other requirements of AB-962 brought by the NRA-CRPA Foundation Legal Action Project.<\/p>\n<p>The delivery prohibitions of AB-962 take effect in February 2011; Plaintiffs in this case will be moving quickly to obtain an injunction before the shipping portions of the law takes effect.<\/p>\n<p>The case is filed as OOIDA et. al v. Lindley, U.S. Dist. Ct. E.D. C.A. 2:10-at-01095.

OOIDA was established in 1973 and is headquartered in the greater Kansas City, Mo., area.<\/p>\n<p>The Calguns Foundation (http:\/\/calgunsfoundation.org) is a non-profit legal defense fund for California gun owners. The Calguns Foundation works to educate government and the public and protect the rights of individuals to acquire, own and lawfully use firearms in California.<\/p>\n<p>Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America\u2019s oldest civil rights and sportsmen&#8217;s group.
