California Magazine Ban Lifted August 14th, 2020

The Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals issued a much-anticipated opinion on August 14 finding the large capacity magazine ban is unconstitutional. Joplin Centerfire applauds the court’s ruling and is proud to have provided an affidavit in support of the challenge to the illegal ban.

As the court said, “California’s near-categorical ban of LCMs infringes on the fundamental right to self-defense…. [I]t substantially burdens the core right of self-defense guaranteed to the people under the Second Amendment. It cannot stand.”

Joplin Centerfire values your freedom and constitutional rights above all else. However, Joplin Centerfire will not accept new orders nor will ship any order until the Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals decision becomes finalized. Once this decision is finalized, we will start accepting new orders and ship 10+ round magazines to California Customers.

Due to recent changes in California state law, Joplin Centerfire will no longer be able to ship so called “assault weapons” to the state of California. This would include all Joplin Centerfire AR-15 complete lowers, AR-15 complete rifles, and all Joplin Centerfire AK-47 rifles. This would also include other makes and models of these same firearm platforms manufactured by other companies. Example: Colt AR-15 rifle.

As of the 1st of July 2019, all California ammunition orders must be shipped to one of the following:

1. California FFL (order will be shipped to the address on the FFL)
2. CA DOJ Certificate of Eligibility (COE) holder (MUST send COE and Driver’s License if the address is NOT printed on the COE).
3. Someone who holds an Ammunition Vendor’s License (MUST send AVL and Driver’s License if the address is NOT printed on the AVL)
4. Type 03 FFL holders must contact Dealer Sales with a copy of your current FFL, CA DOJ COE and California Drivers License.

No ammunition sales to the cities of Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco, or Avalon.

Deerfield, Illinois has recently passed a ban on large capacity magazines and so called “assault weapons”. Every citizen in Deerfield has until June 13, 2018 to remove, destroy, or sell the firearms described in this Ordinance (O-18-06). Due to the nature of the ordinance, Joplin Centerfire will no longer ship magazines or firearms after June 1, 2018 if it falls within these categories. This would include AR rifles, completed receivers, or stripped receivers and all AK rifles. This would include other makes and models of these same firearm platform manufactured by other companies. Example: Colt AR-15 rifle. This will also include any AR or AK parts and pieces (i.e. AR rifle kit, build kit, or parts kit) Any magazines over 10 rounds for a pistol or rifle or shotgun magazines cannot be over 5 rounds will not be shipped.
