    Don't worry, all the paperwork is the dealer's, not yours to deal with. The only potential problem I could foresee if you were to purchase 5+ consignment/PPT handguns at one time would be ATF knocking on your door to "ensure" that you are not a trafficker or trading guns for crack, etc. Happens quite a bit in other states, but is usually never a problem in Kalifornia because of the one dealer sale handgun per 30 days BS.

      I have a question regarding DROS.

      i do know that for PPT for handguns, it can be done every 5 24 hour business days without filling out extra paper work for ATF and county sherriffs.

      i always thought that if i were to purchase a handgun from PPT and started the DROS on saturday, i can DROS another handgun the following saturday without filling the extra paper work.

      Jo at arms usa told me that if i DROS'd one on saturday, i have to wait M-F (5 days) and wait until following Monday to DROS again without the extra paperwork.

      is that true??
      Hey, while researching something else in the 1968 Gun Control Act, I accidently found the answer to your original question. It may not matter to you now that you know the extra paperwork is all handled by the dealer anyway, but here you go...

      § 178.126a Reporting multiple sales or other disposition of pistols and revolvers....

      ...Example 3. A licensee maintaining business hours on Monday through Saturday sells a revolver to an unlicensed person on Monday and sells another revolver to the same person on the following Saturday. This does not constitute a multiple sale and need not be reported since the sales did not occur during five consecutive business days.
      So it looks like the definition of "business days" depends on what a days of the week the particular dealer is open for business, and not on the standard "monday through friday" definition. I know you said you're never going back to that shop, but now you can go back just to show the guy he was wrong.
