What’s the verdict on receiving ammo in LA city with FFL03 COE and CCW?

I’ve seen people in k town have found success in other threads but can anyone confirm?
 
From what I have seen, due to the sprawling size of the city, it's vendor and zip code dependent on who can get it shipped in. The city map is a rediculous example of gerrymandering.

If your address includes the city of LA you are exempt assuming you have your CCW + the FFL03/COE, but finding an ammo retailer that will still ship to you can be more difficult. If just LA county and your address doesn't state LA you're fine.
 
LA CITY is made up of many neighborhoods.
I always use my neighorhood as the city when ordering online and I have never had a purchase declined because the city name is not specifically listed as Los Angeles which is what many online sales systems are filtering on.

Very interesting !

I will try this out.
 
Am I reading the interpreting the law correctly here? That if you have a CCW you're allowed to order to your door in LA?
