Update on DOJ Hold on Handgun

[nice shot]

I just want to say that I received my New Handgun tonight and it Feels really Good- this is my first Gun purchase (SpringField XD45) and after 25 days of Delay I picked it up....I would like to Thank all that responded to my post giving me good advice as to what to do and not to do- "this is a great Web page"
I received a Delay letter from the DOJ with a Application for a LiveScan I filled it out and Payed my $50 for the LiveScan and 2 days later my Gun Dealer called to tell me I was Approved and to come pick up my Handgun...
So again to everyone who answered my post Thanks...

Just wondering, on the DROS form did you put your SSN or not?

there is no spot to put your SSN on the CA DROS form.

you can list your SSN on the federal 4473 form but that does you ZERO good in CA, and only opens you up to identity theft.

nothing that you write on the 4473 is sent to CADOJ for the background check. if you come up delayed or denied, CADOJ will not call the dealer to get the SSN off of the 4473.

So what could trigger DOJ asking for a live scan?

A common name that happens to be coincidentally shared with a prohibited person is just one scenario. The bottom line is that the DOJ is having some kind of problem identifying you.

Yes I put down my SSN- I had a few issue's as a kid on my record so I think the LiveScan kinda help clear it up

I was just thinking that. Wouldn't the SSN clear it up conceivably? I say this as someone who has DROS'D at least 30 weapons in the past 4 years without a single hiccup like this.

Ah ok. Thanks for the clarity.

it would, if that info was sent to CADOJ. but during the DROS submission, your SSN is not transmitted to CADOJ. they basically only go off the info from your CA ID/DL. now, they might be able to get your SSN from your DMV records somehow, but they don't get it from the 4473.

And yes I have a common name and as a matter of fact I have the same name of one of the Colonel at Pendleton

glad you got your pistol but sucks you had to waste $50 to get it. hopefully they dont make this a habit for everyone.

I don't think the LiveScan had anything to do with your "Application" getting approval. The DOJ does nothing inside of 2 days. I rightfully suspect some other aspect was learned in the interim and let go before they ever got your LiveScan.

And no, your SSN had not play or say in the matter.
