BOCA RATON, Fla., July 24, 2025 - Ammunition Depot, a leading nationwide supplier of ammunition, firearms, and tactical gear, is proud to announce a significant legal victory for Second Amendment rights. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ruled in favor of Ammunition Depot and its co-plaintiffs, striking down California’s restrictive 2019 ammunition law that required in-person background checks for every ammunition purchase.

While this is a historic milestone, it is unclear whether California’s restrictions remain in place for the time being. Ammunition Depot will provide updates as soon as that is known.

“We are thrilled by this victory, which stands as a testament to the power of the Constitution,” said Dan Wolgin, CEO of Ammunition Depot. “We understand that the legal process isn’t over, and we are committed to keeping our customers informed as this unfolds. Today’s ruling is a major step forward for the Second Amendment and the rights of every law-abiding citizen.”

Ammunition Depot, a key plaintiff in this case, challenged the restrictive laws alongside the California Rifle & Pistol Association (CRPA) and Olympic shooter Kim Rhode. The legal team at Michel & Associates and Clement & Murphy successfully argued that the law violated the rights of California’s 40 million residents.

“This decision sends a clear message that our constitutional rights are not up for debate or negotiation,” said Wolgin. “We’ll continue working to protect those rights until this process is complete.”

Ammunition Depot will issue additional updates as soon as the court provides clarity on the next steps.
