Single Shot Exemption Explanation/Database Thread

Last I checked rifle gear WILL NOT do SSE's for guns THEY do not order. Better call before you have it shipped.

Yea that's what I thought as well.


But someone said that's only if it's not SSE compliant pre shipment.

Yea I'll call. But still looking for quotes to see if there is better cheaper options.

How does SSE work for revolvers? I was thinking about a Ruger LCR in 9mm as my last for the year. Thanks.

I know DROS'ing a long gun can be done at the same time and independently from a new hand gun dros.
My questions are: If I just did a new california handgun DROS, and I wish to SSE a handgun for the first time, do I still have to wait the 30 days to start the SSE dros? or can I start the process immediately?
I have read there are "sse available slots". What are these slots? Can someone give me the cliff notes answers to my questions?
Thanks

1 in 30 doesn't matter how they were done

Thank you for the answer.
Can you tell me about the SSE "slots" please?
And regarding the 1 in 30.. When do the 30 days end? 30 days from the moment the DROS started? Finished? Bought the gun? picked up the gun?

The available SSE "slot" refers to the FFL's availability to configure the gun into SSE specification. That entails placing a barrel insert and maybe a magazine blocking device. Since not all FFL's manufacture their own barrels and only have a limited amount of barrels, they have a wait list, which is basically the "slot." It's interpreted by many that the gun has to be in SSE configuration during the jail period, so FFL's can't reuse the barrels until people pick up their guns.

The 30 days is 30 consecutive 24-hour periods from the time of DROS. The DROS form will usually have a "pickup by" date and that's basically when your 30 days end. That means your next DROS can be started a second after that date and time. And since we're having a time change tonight and gaining an hour, anyone that started a 1 in 30 DROS in the past month can start the DROS "an hour earlier" since 720 hours have already elapsed. The opposite is true for Spring Forward as you will have to "wait an extra hour."

Thank you for the detailed explanation.
So I may just get lucky. I did my DROS on the 30th of last month.
I thought I had only one more DROS before the end of the year.

I thought the 30 day period ended 30 days from the start of DROS, and that the 10 day cooling off period determines pickup by date.

That's correct. Two timers start when you start your DROS.

1. Pick up date/time: 10 consecutive 24-hour periods
2. New DROS Blackout: 30 consecutive 24-hour periods

Yes and no. The 30 day period ends after 30 days from start of DROS. There is a 10 day cooling off period but that doesn't determine the "pickup by date." Pick up by means you have to pick it up before that date, which is basically the end of 30 24-hour periods, or 720 hours.

Regardless, I misremembered the actual DROS verbage on my first post so I listed it below to make it more clear.

Transaction date/time: The date and time to the second of when the DROS was submitted.
Earliest delivery date/time" The earliest date and time you can pick up the firearm.
Latest delivery date/time: The latest date and time you can pick up the gun, which is also known as, "pickup by" or "latest pickup date," etc.

Can a private party (out of state) convert their pistol into a SSE form and ship it to any FFL that is willing to do the transfer?

Yes.

[HibikiR]

But the recipient still needs to start the DROS for that shipment before the end of the year, right?

[EatsEverything]

Yes
