My situation: I purchased the same model of firearm that was stolen from me last year via PPT in Burbank, and am interested in DROS-ing a second firearm (not one of the models I previously owned) via consignment at Turner's in Reseda, LA.
Can I use the exemption (#16, page 3) for my purpose?
No one at Turner's had any clue about this exemption. |
Looks like it might, but I read it as applying to the replacement gun, not another subsequent purchase -
Quote:
16. Any person or entity replacing a single handgun where the handgun
was lost or stolen, and the person reported that firearm lost or stolen to the Los
Angeles Police Department or appropriate law enforcement agency and presents
the dealer with evidence of such reporting.

Now, convincing a dealer seems to be the next hurdle - by which time I expect it will be outside your 30-day window, and the sale would go through.
