Is a sentence for possession of ammunition stayed?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Session, B266207 (Cal. App. 2017):

Respondent concedes that the sentence for possession of ammunition on counts 12 (Session) and 14 (Jones) must be stayed. Where "all of the ammunition is loaded into the firearm, and 'indivisible course of conduct' is present," section 654 bars punishment for possession of both a firearm and ammunition. (People v. Lopez (2004) 119 Cal.App.4th 132, 138.)
