DROS mess up

[ghettoshecky]

I recently turned 21 and I bought a Springfield XD9, I bought it from Ironsights in Oceanside, but they messed up. They mispelled my name on the DROS when they typed into the computer and I asked the person selling it to me if that was okay. They told me yes since my DL number is on. They put "Richard" (won't say my real first name), but my real concern is that being that I'm Asian and they are a grip of my surname out there and I'm sure there is a Richard with the same last name out there in Cali, will this cause problems in the future? Should he have resubmitted the DROs like I wanted to, or was he being a lazy *** and probably didn't know wth he was talking about. This is a bigger concern for me because I am leaving monday out of the country for two months and I'm picking up my gun on sunday. Even though it wasn't a good idea to buy right before I'm leaving I really wanted to buy a gun on my birthday. So does anyone have any input on this?

Calm down Mr. Nguyen, you can have the form updated by DOJ... Your DL # and SSN is on the DROS form, correct? If so I wouldn't stress out over it.

Being a smart-arse because he said he had a common asian last name... just taking a wild guess.

No disrespect meant, trying to be funny more than anything

DOJ has a form dealers can use to change information on a DROS. I believe its called a DROS Correction sheet. You can only change one item on the DROS, otherwise, it has to be re-submitted.
Contact the FFL/Gun Dealer.. You have x amount of days to make corrections on the DROS online, before you have to submit any correction form.
Its the Dealers responsibility to insure the information is complete and accurate.
I would encourage you to make every effort to amke the info DOJ has on you as complete as possible. Any potential in-accurcy could create confusion with LE, prompting them to possibly take your weapon, with you having to prove who you are above and beyond.
Trust me, I have seen the havoc errors have caused with clients in the past.
Insure the info is correct.

I wouldn't worry about it. YOU can't get in trouble... the dealer could get scolded by the DOJ, but that wouldn't even happen.

You can't call the DOJ and have them correct it.

The dealer would be the one who would need to submit the change... that can be easily done on the MCI Entry Screen, or on a form.

SSN is not on a DROS.

They can do it online.

Not doing it is just plain lazy.

The only thing they can't change is the number of guns.

ghettoshecky, are you mad b/c your name is Richard, but they used "D ick"?
