An excellent question. Supposedly, the bill exempts ammo used for target shooting or self defense. But existing DFG regulations make that fuzzy during the hunting season. Right now, if you carry a pistol for self-defense during the deer season in Kondor Kountry, and you have lead ammo in that gun, Mr. Ranger will cite you for having lead ammo; this despite the fact that you didn’t use that pistol or its ammo to ventilate Bambi. So this bill would affect the right of hunters Statewide to defend themselves from 2- and 4-legged threats with tried-and-true lead ammo.
I guess the only other “soft” metal we will be able to use for hunting bullets that will expand so it will kill a deer before runs 500 yards away and dies would be gold. I’m sure the idiots in Sacramento would allow that. So what if it costs us $500.00 a round.
