Are rifle cartridges loaded with incendiary bullets legal in California?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for law enforcement

  4. Only for military use

The correct answer is: No

In California, it is illegal to possess or use incendiary bullets, which are designed to produce a flame and ignite material upon impact. These types of ammunition are considered particularly dangerous due to their potential to cause fires and are regulated under state law to prevent risks to public safety. The legislation aims to limit the use of ammunition that could be used in an irresponsible manner or that poses an additional hazard, especially in a state that frequently deals with wildfires. This legal framework ensures that incendiary bullets are not available to the general public, which is why the answer is that they are not legal in California.
