California Bill Passes Senate A California bill that will dramatically affect many large and small retailers of ammunition has passed out of the state Senate and will head to the Assembly floor. The bill, AB 996, is eligible to be heard as early as Monday. The bill would require retailers to remove ammunition from their store shelves and other display areas where customers have direct access to it. Ammunition would need to be kept in a location accessible only to store employees, which would prevent customers from browsing and comparing various brands and loadings of ammunition. It could also be an additional burden for sales employees by keeping them away from their regular duties. NSSF, the National Association of Firearms Retailers (NAFR) and the California Association of Firearms Retailers (CAFR) are all opposed to the bill.
