DROs question.

[mr.hustle]

Ok so my DL address does not match where I live now.
But I have my car registration which does have the current address.
I also have the handgun safety card.

What else do I need to purchase a handgun in CA?

[JaeFern]

Second proof of address like a utility bill?

Money

[JaeFern]

Oh... And patience.

[mr.hustle]

what else can I use as my second proof of address besides utility bill?

[mr.hustle]

will my pay stubs work?

[mr.hustle]

or how about my lease on my apartment?

[McTerry]

Apartment lease yes, car registration, Gas or Electric bill, Water bill, Home phone (not cell)...

or go to DMV, ask for a print out which shows your old address and new address, to prove your current address... but you need to pay, $10 or $5, i don't remember... i did that before i got my new DL... some shops don't take utility bills.....

My last couple purchases have been made with exactly what you have... DL with previous address, Car registration with current address, and HSC. You should be good to go.

[knucklehead]

Lease will work as long as it matches your DL. Some stores might want it to be notorized also. That's what I have been using for awhile.

Only if you get them from the Gov't.


As you can tell there are many responses here. I ALWAYS suggest calling your FFL and asking them what they will accept. It save you time/money to get what you want faster.

All that aside:
Federal 4473 REQUIRES a valid govt ID with current address. If it is not your current addressm, then you need to supply another valid govt ID with current address (this is why there are two places on the 4473).
CA proof of residency REQUIRES you to have matching proof (Car reg, Power/Gas/Landline, lease agreement) and valid ID. So if your matching address was not valid, you would need to obtain a matching ID to stay in compliance with CA law.
(This matching ID/Proof of residency basically negates the whole two ID thing for the 4473)

Some FFLs (even though valid) will not accept XXXX or YYYY. It is best to clarify with them before buying from them.

Went through this with my first purchase where I had to shop around for someone who worked with me. I Ended up with a cheaper DROS fee so it worked best for me. Best of luck.

[mr.hustle]

they took my DL (former address) and current car registration.
