They sent me an email today:
Mr. Schmidt,
I apologize for the inconvenience. According to California law C.R. 922, we cannot ship item ARR-328
vertical foregrip part number to California residents.
However, there is no problem shipping the balance of your order. A refund of $9.97 will be credited back to your credit card.
Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you.
Thank you.

My response, boy I hope I got my shit right According to California law CR 922, adding a forward grip to a semi automatic center fire rifle, with detachable magazine would make it a category three "assault weapon". The rifle I planned on putting the vertical fore grip on does not have a detachable magazine there for it is not an "assault weapon". The vertical fore grip alone is not illegal. It's how you configure your own firearm.
I do not wish the remaining balance of the order. What am I going to do with a rail for my rifle with nothing to mount to it? The original order that I placed was a little over eighty dollars. I used a $50 gift certificate and paid the remaining balance with my debit card. Not only do I want the thirty dollars and change refunded to my debit card, I want the $50 gift certificate refunded to my wife's credit card. She bought it for me for Christmas figuring that I'd be able to buy some gun stuff that I wanted. Not anymore. After you refund those two items, I would like you to delete all of my information that you guys have on file of me. I no longer wish to receive your catalogs in the mail, and I never want to hear from you again. I refuse to do business with people that don't deserve it.
Thanks in advance,
Karl Schmidt.
