How to Buy Ammo at California Gun Shows

Here are the basics:

  • You need a California REAL ID (if you do not have the REAL ID, bring a birth certificate or passport)
  • If you have purchased a firearm in the last few years, you can log in to cfars.doj.ca.gov to check the information and address on your account.

Your California REAL ID must match EXACTLY what the Department of Justice has on file for your address. The system is very specific so make sure your cfars address matches your ID.

Whether you purchase ammo at the gun show or a local retailer, the process is the same, so come on out to the Crossroads of the West gun show for the absolute best deals and best selection of ammo in the state!
