Important Update: DOJ Statement on Ammunition Shipments to California

An Important Update Regarding California ammo laws and Shipments to Residents

To our valued customers in California,

We know many of you have been following the recent legal developments with great anticipation. The news on July 24, 2025, from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled California’s ammunition background check law unconstitutional, was a significant and welcome development for law-abiding gun owners across the state.

However, we want to provide an important clarification on the current status of this ruling. On July 28, 2025, the California Department of Justice issued a statement clarifying that the court’s decision is not yet in effect. There are additional procedural and legal steps that must be completed before the law is officially invalidated and shipping restrictions are lifted.

Therefore, at this time, we are still legally required to adhere to the existing shipping restrictions and cannot ship ammunition directly to residential addresses in California, including those in Los Angeles and other municipalities.

Please know that we share your frustration, but we must operate in full compliance with current state law. The entire team at Target Sports USA is monitoring this situation by the hour. We are standing by, ready to update our systems and begin shipping directly to you the moment it is legally permissible. We are hopeful that day will come soon.

We deeply appreciate your patience and your unwavering support. For the fastest updates, please ensure you are subscribed to our newsletter and follow our social media channels.

Thank you for being a loyal member of the Target Sports USA family.

Sincerely,

The Team at Target Sports USA

Do note: Unfortunatly we are not able to ship ammunition direct to your residence at this time. We are actively monitoring the situation and will update you via email when we know more.
