DROS Fees/different question though

[Steve O]

Is it itemized on the receipt as:

$35 DROS
$10 City Fee
------------
$45 Total

or does he charge a straight $45 as DROS? If so the that would be illegal. He should itemize the receipt just to stay "above the board". That way the city would/should take the fall (possibly because of preemption?). It would be nice to see the city spanked by the state.

Well how about...

25 dros
10 city fee

35 total

HAHA I doubt hes doing it free and donating 10$ to the city for free..

I doubt he is doing anything other than pocketing the 20.00 bucks (10 more than he should).

I would think that State law preempts any Muni code... I was really happy when the City Attorney advised City Hall to refund all of my license fees as only the State has authority to regulate and issue licensing for my Profession.

Sound like coolness factor -1.

Yes a city can charge a 'fee' but I believe it can only be on new handguns.. or something like that. Don't for,get the City of San Leandro passed a bill that levied a 'fee' (I call it a tax) on any new handgun Traders sold a while ago.....

They did? I don't remember a San Leandro fee at Traders.

[NRAhighpowershooter]

yup.. the city levied a 10% fee on all new handgun purchases...

[ohsmily]

yup.. the city levied a 10% fee on all new handgun purchases...

So that had nothing to do with a transfer fee, specifically, the private party transfer fee that is specifically addressed in PC 12082, right?

[Trader Jack]

Not True. Please try to get the facts before you state something

Traders NEVER charged any buyer a city fee.

[NRAhighpowershooter]

Not True. Please try to get the facts before you state something

ok.. I was 'slightly' incorrect.. the 'tax' was 3 percent on their gross receipts from concealable handgun and ammunition sales.

Is your FFLs last name "City"? As in Mr. City

[Steve O]

HAHA I doubt hes doing it free and donating 10$ to the city for free..

I doubt hes giving anything to the city at all...

[Steve O]

That is just stupid. And no question still remains.

Also, why should we assume the city is charging the fee and have a whole argument about it when there is no evidence that the city is actually doing that? How about we confirm or deny it first? I have never heard of this happening. Ask your FFL to show you the code or ANY documentation about the city charging an additional fee.

If you want to play the game, fine, I will, the penal code states that no other fees may be charged over what is specifically outlined in the code. (35.00 total). So NO, a city may not tack on a greater fee. Your FFL is either inexplicably confused or lying.

If someone shows me a muni code or ordinance or any other law imposed by the city in question that outlines the 10.00 additional charge, then I will (happily) eat my words and apologize to you and your FFL. Until then, I call BS. And since you won't tell us what city he is in, then I will just assume he is committing a crime under PC 12082 by charging an illegal fee.

How about you tell us what city his business is in so we can establish whether he is actually being charged by the city or feeding you a load of BS? If you prefer to stay in the dark and be a sheep, go for it.

lol. yea.
