Firearms DROS'd as "handguns" need to be on the CA DOJ approved list or be exempt from the list.

A stripped AR lower is not on the approved list, hence the reason why it needs to be made into a single-shot pistol prior to being DROS'd.

so would a LEO be able to DROS it w/o actually having it built to a single shot pistol?
Thanks quiet for the response...

Yes, a LEO can get a stripped AR pistol lower DROS'd as a "handgun".

After a LEO gets a stripped AR pistol lower DROS'd as a "handgun", that LEO can then PPT it to another person as a "handgun".

A person could also get a stripped AR pistol lower DROS'd as a "handgun", if that person's out-of-state grandparent/parent gifts (intra-familial transfer) it to that person. The stripped AR pistol lower would get shipped to a CA FFL dealer, who would use the intra-familial transfer exemption to be able to DROS it as a "handgun".

An out-of-state person moving to CA to become a CA resident, can bring a stripped AR pistol lower with them during their move. After establishing CA residency, that person can then PPT it as a "handgun" to another person.

Yes. A LEO can DROS either a complete or stripped pistol lower because they are exempt from the CA DOJ Handgun Roster.
