is my Cowboy Action Shooting will probably end
NOT SO FAST.It would be tough to afford all copper bullets for USPSA match where I might shoot 300 rounds.
Then of course the ammo will probably have be certified to be lead free for some more $$
The big issue is that it will drive most all the ranges out of business,
So yep, you can say goodbye to Cowboy Action, IDPA, USPSA, all the Sporting Clay matches, Trap and Skeet matches as well.
I moved back to California last year to beef up my retirement at an agency that I worked at before. My plan was to retire in 3 years and leave the state again. I found out if I stayed one more year I could add $700 per month more to my retirement.
Suddenly $700 a month doesn’t sound as appealing. $8400 is a nice little bonus per year for tolerating the BS of living here but the way things are going makes it a tough decision.
What will really suck, if we do not defeat this, is my Cowboy Action Shooting will probably end, at least here it will.
Looks like I will be making some calls to my so-called representatives.
Gold or Silver might work, but a bit priceyI wonder if there is anything that could be melted and poured in a bullet mold
Banning lead WILL NOT stop competitive shooting sports ... I garonteeeeeee.
prohibit patrons or employees of a sport shooting range or an indoor shooting range from firing ammunition unless it is nonlead certified
That ban failed miserably because we know that the lead isn't coming from lead shot.IIRC the past lead ban attempt was to save the eagles and Cal condors from lead poisoning when eating things killed with lead bullets. How much better will a copper or brass bullet rolling around in their gullet actually be anyway.
OMG!Yes....
If you can't outlaw guns outlaw the ammo....
Yes there are non-lead bullets available, but at a greatly increased cost, and not in all calibers even if you reload and of course if passed supply will be nill until production of the alternatives is ramped up (if it ever is)
The bill sponsors are both Democrats from the Bay area, go figure.....
Yep $28 for 40

so my USPSA match now costs $280 for bullets alone.
I imagine that this will drive the range I shoot at out of business, and many other ranges as well. Of course these lost jobs are not important to some people, just the people who work there to buy food, pay the rent, make their car payments etc.
I guess they are evil for working at ranges so they deserve to starve.
BTW I am sure there will be an exemption for law enforcement ranges.
(Note: Nothing against Law enforcement, they deserve to be able to practice, they deserve the best bullets they can get in case someone needs them. They deserve all the help they can get! ( sad the that some people don't feel the same about the military.) The problem is no matter how hard they try they may be 5 minutes or more away....
(Note #2 I have been shot by scumbags robbing the gas station I worked at years ago so I am not unbiased about this, kidnapped, missing from gas station, PD can't do anything until I have been missing for 24 hours, 6 hours later thrown out in a field by the border to Mexico, shot, left for dead,)
So according to CA the scumbags that shot me should not have had a gun so CA laws worked really well for me...., (nothing to worry about right, it's against the law)
(PS the guys got life but were paroled, since they were 1. under 18 when they did it, or 2. 65 and old and not a threat any longer...never realized that when you were 65 you could no longer pull a trigger)
Proposition 67: November General Election
On November 8, 2016, California voters approved Proposition 67, the statewide Single-Use Carryout Bag Ban. ... Instead, these stores may provide a reusable grocery bag or recycled paper bag to a customer at the point of sale at a charge of at least 10 cents.
California just became the first US state to go strawless: banning the sippers at sit-down eateries in the state, starting in 2019. On Thursday, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Assembly Bill 1884, a rule that "prohibits dine-in restaurants from automatically providing plastic straws" to customers
"reusable grocery bag"
Clearly the answer is reusable bullets!
Just for CA's crazy hypocritical, protected by armed security with real bullets politicians, we will need to develop smooth bore weapons with rifled bullets equipped with parachutes, homing beacons and strobe lights! You will be fined for not retrieving your bullets within 24 hours.
