DROS Question

[Arias]

I know that when purchasing a handgun you have to have a valid DL. Now let me explain my situation.... I have the funds to purchase my handgun, but my current DL expires on the 22nd of this month. If I start the DROS process today, the tenth day will land on the 25th. Since my DL will be expired, and I most likely won't have my new one because Cali is lagging on getting the new ones out, will my purchase be rejected?

happened to me, i just went to a dmv office and ask for a temporary dl, it's just a piece of paper that proves that you already renewed your dl. i was able to do a ppt with it and my expired dl card.

I had a similar thing happen to me last year. But instead of my license expiring, I added the M1 motorcycle endorsement. After passing the test DMV handed me a paper temporary then punched a hole through the expiration date on my actual license (it hadn't expired) and told me they'd mail a new one to me. Well, Turner's wouldn't accept either/both of them when I purchased a handgun from them. They made me wait until the new license was in my possession before completing the process. Luckily for me the DMV wasn't backed up at the time.

I would clear up any questions with the FFL beforehand.

I just received my new format license from the State and it took 75 days to get here.

Keep this in mind when considering a gun purchase

Ask the FFL. The new licenses are taking people 3-4 months to get.
I have a friend who has been waiting 114 days and counting

If you are buying an in-stock handgun, they would run the DROS immediately. The ID has to be valid at the time the DROS occurs. If you are ordering a handgun and it can be DROS'd before your ID expires, you should be okay.

depends on the ffl dealer. turners in pasadena didnt let me slide even though i talked to one of the workers beforehand. i asked to speak with the worker this one young worker i forgot his name but was working behind the counter he responded oh sorry i cannot help you with that. i really hate that guy but not because of my id problem never went back after i picked up my rifle because of him. anywho i purchased a rifle and id expired on the 8th day of dros. passed my dros when 10 day came i went in they said that i need a valid state id to pick up my firearm my id was still in process from dmv they made me do dros again for the same firearm because passed 30 days since man was i pissed

+1. My FFL worked with me with what I had and I picked up my pistol yesterday!

Do you need an id, or valid license? If you just need a valid id, a passport should do...no?
