Legality of bringing ammo from out of state.

I have a question about the legality of bringing ammo in from another state. Since ammo is so difficult to find, and expensive when it is, is it legal to bring it from another state? I go to AZ semi-frequently to visit family and would like to bring some back if I happen to find some at a good price. I'm not trying to go to jail for it though. Also, can ammo be ordered online and shipped within cali?

No flechette, explosive, incendary, tracer and armor piercing handgun ammo.
No flechette, explosive, incendary and tracer rifle ammo.
No flechette, explosive, and incendary shotgun ammo.

(edit)A non-exempt person can not import or possess the above ammo in CA.

What exactly are you saying by this? To which part of my question is this responding? Also, is there a difference between regular ammo and explosive ammo i.e. high explosive/c4 type stuff, or is all ammo considered explosive?

Exploding ammo would be a round that goes 'BOOM' on impact.

I dont want to give any bad intel, but just bring home regular factory ammo and you should be fine.

Are there any sites that have quick and fast version of the do's and don'ts about firearms in california? Sort of an FAQ? I'm still relatively new to cali (stationed here) and haven't taken the time to really research gun laws. Any pro gun groups that have informative websites?

The firearms division of the state Attorney General's website should answer your questions. http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/
