You are absolutely correctTime for that 03+COE, OP haha!!
That’s what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!I have a buddy who attempted to DROS a 2nd gun 1 day short of the 30. It failed the DROS. Turner's told him he has to wait 30 more days now. He went to Sportsman's 2 days later, started a new DROS, and it was approved.
And when you get it, I recommend you have any FFL runs *any* DROS (even for one firearm) as 3-in-30 exempt.You are absolutely correct
There was one in Oceanside, they’re not around anymore. Pisses me off to this day and we were both military with California residencyThere’s FFL’s that illegally sell off roster to military and FFL that claim they can charge whatever they want for PPT lol
Yeah I was so mad when I learned about that, lol because I never found any FFL selling them when I was active duty.There was one in Oceanside, they’re not around anymore. Pisses me off to this day and we were both military with California residency
I had the same issue couple of months ago, it has to be 30 day from the first DrosI was just rejected for 3 in 30 because my DROS was a day early… actually about 3 hours early (oops).
Has anyone else had this happen? If so, can I re-DROS this week?
Thanks.
Had the same thing happen a few years ago,(Gun Broker purchase) I was all excited about picking up my pistol and showed up a day early and was declined or rejected or whatever they call it. Had to wait a full 30 days to re DROS the firearm...My FFL was cool enough to hold onto it for me until I came back to restart things. They could have just kicked it back to the seller as a no go. Ended up never bonding with it and sold it a year or so later.I was just rejected for 3 in 30 because my DROS was a day early… actually about 3 hours early (oops).

How? I would imagine that the system would deny an invalid sale? Do they just have a little box where they can check someone off as exempt or not and no one checks it?There’s FFL’s that illegally sell off roster to military and FFL that claim they can charge whatever they want for PPT lol
Correct. They just mark it exempt and apparently there's only a few CADOJ inspectors for the entire state.How? I would imagine that the system would deny an invalid sale? Do they just have a little box where they can check someone off as exempt or not and no one checks it?
Some places only accept that exemption for C&R guns. Don’t seem to understand the “ collector” exemptionIf I understand correctly, the FFL 03 exempts a person from the 3 in 3o.
I will call DOJ on Monday to confirm
I'm afraid the politicians goal in CA is total disarmament of the populas. They won't quit even if they are ordered to by the law. They'll just write new laws circumventing everything else. Sorry to be a downer but these guys appear relentless in their goals of no firearms in civilian hands.More California infringement on rights. When will the courts put an end to this once and for all?
Of course they are. This is why SCOTUS needs to get smart and start taking immediate challenges against legislation designed to circumvent prior rulings. The anti gun legislature know that they can tie up anything for 5 or more years waiting for appeals.I'm afraid the politicians goal in CA is total disarmament of the populas.
