  • Holders of valid concealed weapons or firearms licenses and active certified law enforcement, correctional, or correctional probation officers are exempt from the ammunition background check requirement

  • Knowingly acquiring ammunition through purchase or transfer intended for a person prohibited by state or federal law from possessing ammunition is a third-degree felony, as is a dealer's failure to conduct the required background check
