Certificate of Elibility

In the C&R arena, is the COE just for the purchase of a handgun or does it apply to a long gun as well. The Application states that to obtain a COE you have to be finger printed at a Live Scan station and pay $32 for the scan and $19 for the FBI fee etc. If I had all of this done when I applied for my CCW do I have to do it again. If the prints are digitized and the FBI check has been done is that enough or do I have to do it all over again?
Thanks

A C&R FFL + COE = no 10 day wait on any C&R firearm transfered from a CA FFL dealer.


Yes, you have to get fingerprinted every time you apply for something different.

Yes it is quite a scam, that scan.

Well worth it just to be exempt from the one handgun every 30 days rule.

Just another thing that verifies who the applicant is.

Ok I've heard no wait - whcih is great. HOWEVER do you still have to do the DROS paperwork at the store (Big 5 or somewhere?). if so theyd charge for that and that kind of takes away the main idea of getting teh C&R to me - whihc is the saving of cost. Does the combination of COE and C&R negate the DROS P/W?

You still need to DROS. The savings you get with your C&R comes when purchasing from out of state vendors, no DROS and better deals.

So far I've used mine for cash and carry (after DROS of course) and more than 1 handgun/month. Saves gas at least by eliminating the 2nd trip to the FFL for pick-up.
