California DROS question

[giaking70]

Good morning,
I have a question in regards to the DROS here in California. Say for the sake of the example here, I have three firearms on one DROS, I decide to drop one before my pick-up date, it hasn't been paid in full yet, but I want to drop it anyways...what would the likely outcome be.

The reason I'm asking is because I had a sudden emergency at my home that costed a little over three thousand to fix and now I dont have the money to pay off the DROS unless I drop it from the DROS. Hope this makes sense...

Can i still get the other two without starting the DROS all over again?

Just curious...

Ask the ffl where you have the dros. What will the restocking charge be,sales tax fees cancelled?

This!^^^^

Plus call them asap.

Good Luck!

Since you have 3 firearms on one DROS, you will have to cancel the DROS and begin another DROS with the two firearms you want to keep if you choose to remove one firearm from it. This means restarting the 10 day waiting period, too. See Post #11

Call the FFL as soon as possible and explain your situation. As mentioned, you may face restocking fees, re-DROS fees, etc.

Having faced Murphy's Law in the past, I wish you the best in your situation.

The best advice I got was to take a personal finance class - and I'm glad I took it.

The one I paid for and greatly benefited from was Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.

Take advantage of the free 7 day trial - the class is at minimum 9+ hours of videos. Cancel before your 7 days are up so you aren't charged.

Wishing you the best outcome.

Good luck!

I really hope you can finalize the transaction as originally intended.

When it comes to anything government related...simple is better. You definitely don't want to jeopardize the entire transaction due to any type of modification.

Best of luck.

Pay with CC or get a quick short term loan from someone, sell here for a fair price.

If you have maxed out your card, see post 4 and quit overspending.

you can sell the gun at pickup, PPT , guns are not easy to get right now..

Thanks everyone for the replies as i honestly didn't know how that works as I've never had to do that before and thought it was a good question to ask, so when i got to the FFL, my balance due was actually lower than I had thought it was. I guess working a lot lately made me forget and with the sudden emergency at home that costed a small chunk of change, i really had forgotten about how much the balance due actually was.

So in closing, all three items being DROS'd are now safely at home....

I don't have contrary information, but are you sure? I thought otherwise. If so, interesting.

Sass2924 is correct in that. I had to sign off on three different pages of paperwork, even though they're all on the same invoice.

You have to sign off on all three separately because each one has the Make, Model, and S/N and you need to verify that with the FFL, especially the S/N as the serial number on the firearm needs to match whats on paper. Trust me, I don't mind taking the extra few seconds to read off the s/n to make sure everything matches.

Hope that makes sense...

Thank you for catching this mistake.

The first time I purchased multiple firearms, I was told it was an all or nothing type of deal (and believed it since).

I looked through my records and can confirm that each firearm gets a unique DROS number.

Guess it's true you learn something new each day.

Thanks!

Only one of these was a handgun correct?
