DROS, CA Background Check

[beerup949]

Hi, I just purchased my first AR15 yesterday. Do they perform the background check right there where they input my information in the computer or is this all handled within the 10 day waiting period? When will they let me know if I'm approved or denied?


Your input is much appreciated....Thanks

The check is pretty much instant...the 10 day wait is just a "Cooling Off" period...If you're denied, the dealer will probably notifiy you pretty quickly.

MCI handles the DROS submittal software for the state. They forward it to DOJ. The background check is not instant. The state has 10 days (24hr periods) to delay or deny the DROS. If there is a problem, the dealer is notified and is required to contact the customer with a DOJ contact telephone number.

If the DROS is for a long gun: Buyer's background is checked

If the DROS is for a handgun: Buyer's background and handgun serial number check is done.

If the DROS is for a PPT: The above checks apply and the Seller's background is done.

Hope this helps.

I would think that people would know if there eligible or not?

if there is an issue with the DROS the dealer is usually notified within 2-3 days.

DOJ normally notifies the dealer anytime between a couple hours after the transaction has taken place and up to the ninth or tenth day. I remember I had sold a handgun, and about an hour later, DOJ called and said that person has been denied. And I can also recall a situation where everything looked like it was smooth sailing and we got a call from DOJ like a day or two before the tenth day and they said the person was denied. So it can vary depending on how busy they are or when they want to get around to doing it.

Yeah, but the checks are done in case non-eligible people still try to slip one past the gov't.

They are looking much more closely these days. "Fugitive from Justice" can mean anything from un-paid child support to failure to appear warrants on tickets.

Wrong forum, shouldn't be in the handgun section

Most denials I have seen are DMV rejects. People with unpaid parking tickets, suspended licenses, ect.

Yeah I have unpaid parking tickets but they do not last on your record... only on that license plate or car they were issued to.

They go to the owner of the vehicle. If unpaid they will send it to the registered owner of the vehicle through DMV records.

Yeah, I am no longer the reg. owner of the car. This was like 5 years ago and I have yet to get anything in the mail or have any problems taking care of stuff at the DMV since.
