Age Restrictions In California, the minimum age to purchase ammunition varies depending on the type. Handgun ammunition typically requires buyers to be 21 or older, while long gun ammunition can be purchased by those who are 18 and older. CM Ammo ensures that we follow these age restrictions, so please bring proper identification when you visit our store.

Background Checks California mandates background checks for ammunition purchases. At CM Ammo, we take this requirement seriously and guide you through the process. Rest assured that a successful background check is vital for legally acquiring ammunition. To pass a background check you need to be able to legally possess firearms and ammuniton, as well as have purchased a firearm registered at the address on your id in the last 10 years. There are other reasons you may not pass a background check at the time of purchase. The background check requires that we swipe your id into the states system. In order to accept your ID you must have a California Real ID or an ID with federal limits apply accompanied by a passport, birth certificate, or other ID the state deems reasonable. All forms of accepted ID can be found on the states frequently asked question page here. https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/apfaqs#3
