I can't find my DROS paperwork

[BarneyLongden]

How do I find the records of the guns I have registered in California?

I am about to renew my CCW and have no idea where the docs are for 2 of my 3 EDC guns.

I have an account on CFARS & used it years ago to add an old gun but do not see how to extract my records.

Do I actually need DROS paperwork? I assume so.

Do have actually to mail a hard copy request to AFS? https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/media/bof-053.pdf

you have to request a firearms ownership report - you dont need the docs as long as the guns are registered to you (im sure they'll check) at least thats how it was for me in SD county

You do not need the paperwork.

You shouldn’t need a copy. The issuing agency has access to those records

You guys are AWESOME. This is now my favorite web forum of all time!

Hey was there a time a few years ago when you did need this paperwork for CCW? I am trying to recall why had to create an account on CFARS 3 years ago. Maybe it was to confirm records for my 25 yr old Glock 37 ( paperweight)

I’ve never needed copies for CCW in the past 8 years+.

Maybe you were looking at getting an FFL03? Possibly registering an 80%er or RAW at some point? @BarneyLongden

whatever. Thanks guys.

Only time you needed a copy of DROS was when California’s system crashed at release of P365 because the weren’t showing registered information.

If it’s registered to you zero need to provide DROS. Especially for guns already on your permit.
