Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Sutter County. Yuba City is the Sutter County seat, on the west bank of the Feather River across from Marysville. The Sutter Buttes, often called the smallest mountain range in the world, rise out of the flat rice country a few miles northwest.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where California law allows.
To buy any firearm in California you need a valid California ID and a Firearm Safety Certificate, and for a handgun you also perform a safe handling demonstration at the counter. The dealer enters the sale into the Dealer's Record of Sale system, the Department of Justice runs the eligibility check, and the firearm is released only after a 10-day waiting period. Handguns sold by a dealer must be a make and model on the DOJ Roster of Certified Handguns. Dealers may not sell any firearm to a person under 21, with narrow exemptions for long guns. Private sales also go through a licensed dealer.
Dealers in these communities all work for Yuba City-area buyers:
California has been a shall-issue state since Senate Bill 2 took effect on January 1, 2024. The Sutter County Sheriff issues carry licenses to county residents, and a city police chief may issue inside their own city. You must be at least 21, pass a background check and an interview, and complete at least 16 hours of approved training, with 8 hours of refresher training before each renewal. Licenses run two years and list up to three handguns. Senate Bill 2 also added a long list of places where licensed carry is barred, and federal courts have narrowed parts of that list, so check the current rules before you carry.
California sells deer tags by lettered zone rather than by county. For 2026 the Fish and Game Commission approved an A zone general season of August 8 to September 20, B zones of September 19 to October 25 for most of the group, C zones opening September 19 with closing dates from October 4 to October 25, and the D-3, D-4 and D-5 foothill zones from September 26 to November 1. Rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are all legal for deer inside the zone rules, but every round used on game in California must be nonlead. Check your Sutter zone boundary on the CDFW map before you buy a tag.
Sutter County is valley floor, so waterfowl is the season that matters: the Balance of State duck season ran October 24 to January 31 for 2026-27, and white-fronted goose limits are cut in the Sacramento Valley Special Management Area. Sutter National Wildlife Refuge and the bypass carry most of the public hunting.
Almond and walnut orchards and flooded rice fields surround the city, and the Feather River and the Sutter Bypass carry ducks and geese through the middle of the county every winter.
