In preparation for the upcoming ammo background check requirements set to take effect in California next year, at least one retailer is pumping the brakes on sales in the state. Texas-based Defender Outdoors posted a notice last week that, since ammo purchased from a mail-order catalog or online must be shipped to a licensed vendor after the
