DIRTYDOZENSBUNKER, LLC - California Becomes the First State to Enact Total Lead Bullet Hunting Ban

Quote:

California is set to become the first state to ban the use of lead bullets for all hunting activities. The law, originally passed in 2013, will take full effect in less than one month on July 1, 2019, and will apply to all hunters taking any type of game with a firearm on public or private land.

“All ammunition in a hunter’s possession may be inspected by wildlife officers,” the California Department of Fish and Wildlife says on its website. “In some cases, if a wildlife officer suspects a hunter is in possession of lead ammunition and cannot prove otherwise in the field, he or she may seize a cartridge or bullet for further analysis.”

The agency encourages hunters to keep their ammunition box with them to verify that they are using certified non-lead ammunition.
