DOJ Put a hold on my purchase?

[milw50717]

My DROS got "Delayed" so I sent DOJ a message from their web site back in early March. Have since gotten the OK, purchased 2 guns (1 hand, 1 long) and yesterday I got a call from DOJ regarding my message. Only 6 weeks too late so I'd say they are quite behind processing anything!

Did they mention the reason for the delay ?

Ummm, they don't tell the FFL why there is a delay so how would they know it was for a late car registration?

It is possible the copy of the reg. they took was expired and didn't notice and when the FFL got the delay letter it does say DMV Delay iirc.

My shotgun was originally going to be off the 10 day wait, the 18th. I'm just hoping the hold goes away a day or two after. Do you think the FFL would charge a 15% restocking fee if I decided to cancel because of the hold?

There's only a few things that DOJ will hold up a purchase and all you guy know what they are. No misdemeanor arrest will hold one up but a felony arrest that will. Conviction or no conviction if it shows up as an arrest they'll put a hold on the purchase.
Its your responsibility to clear it up not DOJ's. Lady there told me about the policy of certain arrests that show up....not convictions. She seemed very polite and business like.
They can provide you with the arrest record number and station you got fingerprinted
Sounds like you may need to do a purge and seal your record buddy.

Many misdemeanor will result in firearms bans.....

No such animal as "Purge and seal" of any criminal records...

Yes they will. It's not their fault you are going through this issue.....Why should the FFL not charge you?

Go here and follow the instructions regarding your delay.
