If you live/vote in California, and have not yet contacted the Governor about this wrong-headed bill (AB962), please do so right away! The bill is now on his desk for action.

I received this below in email from Cabela's today... (...and had previously received a similar warning from the NRA, and several other sources, on the same topic. I hope you have, too, but if not, here it is.)

If you know of others who would be similarly concerned, please also alert them to this, soonest. (If you want more information, just type AB962 into your favorite search engine, to get all the grim details.)

Thanks,
-SB

	To: Cabela's California Customers From: Cabela's Communications Subject: California Assembly Bill 962 Date: Sept. 22, 2009 We are writing to inform you of pending legislation that will restrict purchases of handgun ammunition in California and will terminate our ability to service your needs for certain products. On Friday, Sept. 11, the California Assembly passed Assembly Bill 962, by a 44-31 vote. Among other regulations, AB 962 would: • Ban all mail-order and Internet sales of handgun ammunition. • Prohibit the retail sale, the offer for sale or the display of handgun ammunition in a   manner that allows ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser without assistance of a   vendor or employee. • Require that the delivery or transfer of ownership of handgun ammunition occur in a   face-to-face transaction, with the deliverer or transferor being provided bona fide   evidence of identity of the purchaser or other transferee. That evidence of identity, which must be legibly recorded at the time of delivery, includes: • The right thumbprint of the purchaser or transferee. • The date of the sale or other transaction. • The purchaser's or transferee's driver's license or other identification number and the   state in which it was issued. • The brand, type and amount of ammunition sold or otherwise transferred. • The purchaser's or transferee's signature. • The name of the salesperson who processed the sale or other transaction. • The purchaser's or transferee's full residential address and telephone number. • The purchaser's or transferee's date of birth. The bill is on the desk of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, where it awaits his consideration. He will have until Oct. 11 to sign or veto the bill. If he does not veto the bill, it will become law. If you wish to comment on AB 962, you may contact Gov. Schwarzenegger by phone at (916) 445-2841, or via fax at (916) 558-3160. To e-mail Gov. Schwarzenegger, visit http://gov.ca.gov/interact We encourage all Cabela's customers who participate in the shooting sports to contact Gov. Schwarzenegger to voice their opposition to this initiative, which will limit your opportunities to shop with Cabela's, and will restrict the sale of handgun ammunition everywhere in California.

P.S. Criminals may safely ignore this message. The impact upon them will be slight, if any.

NON-criminals however, should be concerned. Every ounce of additional gun-control regulation brings with it a POUND of costs. This bill is no exception. You think ammunition costs are high NOW? ...Just wait.

Glad I've got two more boxes of 7.62mm scheduled for delivery tomorrow morning. And I live in Alabama.

Good time to open a gun shop in Nevada or Arizona.

Any of you California Freepers who want to by "Fruitcakes" from me at Christmastime just let me know what caliber fruitcake you want.

And yes, I'm already out of .380 fruitcake

(916) 445-2841 (may have to hit redial a few times to get through) then: option 1, option 2, option 2, option 2 to oppose.

The full weight and authority of gun (and ammunition) control legislation falls not upon the criminal classes but upon the law-abiding, for it is the innocent man, and not the criminal, who is their true subject.

There are many, many taxpaying, hard-working, honest citizens in California, just like me, who are looking for an excuse to sell houses and/or businesses move the heck out-of-state.

Our once-Golden State is bankrupt; yet the Dems in the legislature choose to harass tax-payers (in this case, gun owners) to relocate to "red" states.

Notwithstanding the Second Amendment argument, perhaps Arlen Schwarzenegger will see tax money drain and the impact of more unemployment and vacant houses should he sign this horrible bill.

They will probably make it a crime to transport ammunition across the state line as well. Every gun owner in California that can afford to do so should get a Federal Firearms License.

Currently, I'm getting my ordnance through AIM Surplus in Middletown, OH.

Once they have you on file, they'll drop-ship, no signature required.

In 1982 the people of California rejected Prop 15 which would have banned handguns in that state. Since that time the legislaure has tried everything they could to bypass that referendum to ban something that makes a bang!

Check every car on every road? That'd be great for interstate commerce...

Maybe the next "shot heard 'round the world" will happen in California.

This is a civil rights case. It's a clear and obvious attempt to interfere with the exercise of 2nd Amendment rights.

Get the ACLU on the horn...
