OP, the 1 in 30 DOES apply to PPTs in the city of Los Angeles for HANDGUNS. So whether its a purchase from an FFL or a private party, the city of LA counts that as your 1 in 30.

The simple solution is to do the PPT in an unincorporated city like Burbank. In that case, PPTs do not count as 1 in 30.

This is what I've always been up against. If this has changed, I'm sure someone will correct me.

I will not correct you, I found out the hard way early in my collecting. (Thanks Twinpop.)

You can do the first in LA City, but the second must be outside or wait the 30.

I think OP is in NorCal.

No. You can't tack on new firearms to a currently running DROS.

You can DROS something else during that time, but you're paying its on $48 fee and waiting its own 10(+ because CA DOJ is currently running 15+) days.

For sure. Thanks!

Don’t quote me on this, but my local FFL said 1/30 means 30 days from the last DROS, not when you actually put money down or purchase.

So I’d give myself 1.5 hours before store closing to take care of it, otherwise you would waste a day and have to come back another day to do a DROS. Then after DROS happens expect 10-15 day wait after waiting you initial 30 days to be able to bring it home.

At least in my case that’s reality for new handguns that is in store or FFL.

It is technically 720 hours from the last DROS submission, to the second. And do not forget to figure in daylight savings time change if that happens in those 30 days. The time printed on your last DROS for 'latest pickup time' takes that into account, so always go by that. Never DROS before that time if the transaction is not 1/30 exempt.

And if you screw up and submit another application early, even one minute early, you don't get a do-over the next day. That counts as a another application which means you have to wait another 30 days, and your errant DROS will be denied.

Jeez, thanks for this info. I guess that makes sense, since government rules were always so rigid and purely black and white.
