Suspended priviledge = denial of rights?

[DB2]

Interesting how in this great state of California, one can be denied his constitutional rights due to a suspended priviledge. Case in point; a suspended DL (priviledge) fails you from DROSing a firearm (right).

Long story short, I was rejected on a Dros due to a temporary suspended drivers liscense. The liscense thing is my own fault and should have been taken care of sooner. But what fascinates me is how my drivers liscense with current info (even though temp suspended), and a squeeky clean back ground check won't work to DROS a firearm. Because my DL is suspended does that mean I'm not who it says I am? I guess it's not a valid ID anymore.

Now I need to pay California $14 to reinstate my DL so I can DROS again. It's my own lazy *** fault for not taking my proof of insurance in to verify I had it, although now it shows in there computer as being valid. Frigin DMV.

And no, I had no idea my DL was suspended, until the shop called.

no, you can get an California ID card and use that for DROS if you have a suspended/revoked/expired, etc driver's license.

Yep 100% I have DROS go through on at least 8 different firearms and became an 03 FFL with a suspended license.

That will not work. The California ID is the same number as your CDL and it will also be considered as invalid for a dros.

A valid California ID card will work just fine.

An ID, while having the same number as the DL, is not suspended when your DL is suspended.

If the CID is valid, then DROS will not be denied. Remember that DROS forms specify between CDL and CID.

Very true. BUT, If it is cross checked with the DMV and if a suspended license comes up, they can and will put a DMV hold on it. I have had it happen to me.

Just out of academic curiosity- is a U.S. Passport an acceptable alternative to a driver's license?

No,

A passport is proof of US citizenship. You must be a resident in the State you are purchasing a gun, and a passport does not show this information.

You are not required to DRIVE to buy a gun...

I dont get it? How is it the DMVs fault you got your license suspended? The reason that its done this way is because there are too many people who get in trouble somehow and theire afraid the said person will go out buy a gun come back to the courtroom, or witness or whatever circumstance they got their lic revoked and come back shooting.
So why was the license suspended?

You are not required to have a DL to buy a car!

And the correct answer is that a CID will work even if the CDL is suspended.

WTF are you talking about?

He never said it was the DMVs fault, and the rest of your post is complete FUD!!

I'm hoping you were trying to be sarcastic, but it just didn't translate well.

Didn't say it was the DMVs fault. Here is what I said.

It's my own lazy *** fault for not taking my proof of insurance in to verify I had it, although now it shows in there computer as being valid.

Liscense is suspended due to no valid insurance on file, WHEN I was pulled over for tags. I didn't have my Farmers binder with me. The insurance is on file now, but I didn't take it to the court personally to get it signed off. = liscense suspended.


As far as the rest of your post, lets just say it's entertaining. I would not need a new gun to shoot up a court room. the DOJ already knows that.


I just find it interesting how a priviledge trumps a right. Never had experience with that before. The 4 gun Dros probably didn't help.
