DROS, CA Background Check

I will.

I'm pretty sure I'm cool but after reading things on this site with things being mistaken through the DOJ etc. I'm nervous, that's all. It's been almost 4days now and no call from the FFL so I guess that's good news. LoL

I just like to stress! Anyone think I should call or do the FFL's not even know if I'm approved until the 10th day? Is there some sort of approval # they need to jot down on the paperwork?

The DOJ has the full 10 24hr periods to delay or deny. Once the time has passed without notification, the process may proceed. The dealer is not given any sort of confirmation for a "proceed".

Okay, thanks all. I have my bachelor party in Vegas next weekend when the 10 days is up! So I will pick it up on Monday. I'm so stressed. I don't see why I would not pass but I have also don't have had the cleanest of backgrounds, DUI etc. but nothing to disqulify me right off the bat. I just don't want someone at the DOJ to deny me just because I'm not sqeeky clean. I have heard some horror stories on this site.

as long as you have no warrants, including bench warrants for not showing up or paying a traffic ticket and its not a violent misdemeanor or felony you are ok.

The only other reason is if you have the same name as someone else that has a record. But usually a call to the doj clears that up.

Halifax:

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.

Questions:

The DOJ does not check long gun serials? Doesn't that mean that a stolen long gun can change hands?

On a PPT, what are the ramifications of the seller's backround check? It seems the transaction should proceed if the buyer is ok, but if the seller cannot legally own the firearm, would the DOJ prosecute the seller for that past act?

Thanks

Its a DUI w/Injury (Minor) Bruised leg and a sprained hand. It was a felony but dropped to a misd. No *warrants (see below) or anything like that... all fines are paid including the DUI that was back in 2004 (cost me over 10k) I'm glad it happened though because I would still be wild and drinking and driving. So thank god for that. I even tried to get into two cabs before attempting to drive home before I drove but we got kicked out we were so drunk. I DID have a warrant for Urinating in public when I was in the Marines down in San Diego but that was in '99 or 2000. It was so long and I never took care of it but with the statue of limitations I currently am not wanted anymore. I double checked with the Sherriff in San Diego online and called. Other than that...These are the only 2 times I have been in trouble. Finished probation and paid all fines.

DROS submittal does not include serial numbers for long guns. Nothing to check.

If the buyer is denied, the dealer must return the firearm to the seller unless the seller is also a prohibited individual. The BG check is done on the seller to facilitate the return.

I don't know about prosecution of sellers. They could be just trying to legally dispose of their property because they can no longer possess it.

If you are completely free and clear of the courts and justice system, I don't think the misdemeanor DUI will be an issue.

A Marine peeing in public in SD I'll bet that's never happened before.

Yeah, I wasn't even that drunk but the bars were closing and I could not go back inside. I was in a dark alley behind a dumpster. I think the women cop was a trainee because she told me for being nice she wouldnt take me to jail?!?! I was peeing behind a dumpster lady!!! Why are you even giving me this ticket?!?! Oh well... Anyways yes EVERYTHING has been taken care of fines, probation, jail time yada, yada, yada. I'm still waiting for the call from the FFL because I psyk myself out too much. Other than that I got my last weekend in Vegas this coming weekend as a NON married man. And if my future wife can deal with me I can't see why I cannot own a firearm! LoL

Any more input regarding when people are usually denied from their FFL's?

Good info, Halifax.

If the buyer is denied, the dealer must return the firearm to the seller unless the seller is also a prohibited individual. The BG check is done on the seller to facilitate the return.

Who gets the gun if the buyer and seller are both denied.....................WOAH!!



Beerup, I would change my handle, if I were you, since you are a good boy and all now. As for the peeing in public thing...........what's a fella supposed to do?

LoL, my last name is Beerup so I guess I had to get those things out of the way just to grow up.
