7 days and counting. DROS delayed.

I'm assuming they meant that the firearm in question is in their stolen firearm database. Your personal information should have nothing to do with a stolen firearm unless you were previously arrested for stealing a firearm.

In this case, you just received stolen property, so your sentence will be relatively short, maybe even probation and a 10 year firearm ownership prohibition.

It's not. He misread the letter. Almost certainly something on his background whether erroneous or valid. We'll see when/if he posts a photo of the body of the letter.

That is boilerplate language in a standard letter they send to people.

It says your info may have matched to a criminal record or the firearm may be stolen. You need to order a copy of your Rap Sheet ASAP.

How do I order the Rap sheet?
From FBI? or from DOJ?

More than likely... a typographical error, that could be on either end of the information spectrum, whether on the DROS or within DOJ's files.

Bet this all plays out to prove innocuous and inconsequential.

I had something similar like this arise several years ago and it was a typo, with all resolved before the 30 days was over. Now that may prove challenging to resolve quickly these days in the throws of the shamdemic and a robustly new even more anti-2nd Amendment regime at the helm, but the eventual outcome will likely be vapor, even if it takes longer to evaporate.

Good luck.

Update, the letter:
"Your recent firearm purchase application is being delayed because the department has identified state and/or federal records matching your identifying information or a stolen firearm record that if confirmed would prohibit the purchase"

"This determination was based upon information provided in your application to purchase a firearm, .... but has not been confirmed with fingerprint comparison. It is possible that the prohibition record may not be yours and may belong to a another individual whose name and identifying information is similar to yours"

"Regardless, de department is required to make its determination within 30 calendar days. If the department is unable to make a determination in this time, the dealer will he notified and may deliver the firearm(s) to you at his/her discretion."

"If you wish to challenge the accuracy of the department determination or the completeness of your criminal history, please complete a request for live scan, ...."

Dated Oct 2nd, 11 days ago. 19 to go. Not feeling optimistic about this.

Right. As I said, you misread the letter. This is the standard letter they send to anyone who is being delayed due to potentional prohibiting record OR a stolen firearm. In most of the cases I have dealt with, the issue is the person's record, not a stolen firearm. Hence my recommendation to order a copy of your rap sheet.

Understood.

I am sure I understand the whole situation.

Did you buy the gun NEW from a FFL? or did you buy from a Private (PPT)?

Thanks

Really look over all the details of the copy of your DROS - make sure everything is correct. Now that they swipe your DL for the information, it's less likely there's a mistake, but still worth seeing if anything was truncated, or the information doesn't accurately reflect some other detail.

For that matter, when was the last time you had a succesful DROS go through without a problem? Have you had any unfortunate legal circumstances arise since that time that may have had some less than obvious repercussion?

I'm still thinking typographical error on some far flung record at the DOJ that has absolutely nothing to do with you - but these are troglodyte flow-chart followers that regularly trip over their bottom lip walking up a flight of stairs. Common sense and accuracy are not prerequisites for the job, let alone that the majority of their brood are Anti-2nd Amendment cucks, starting at the top, for over 2 decades since Lockyer.

This is the first time this happens to me in my lifetime. I already compared the DROS papers with a few old ones from two different FFLS, the information matches. I bought a rifle at the same FFL without issues not too long ago.

You're possibly going to need an attorney. I recommend Michel & Associates (especially of-counsel Jason Davis), Bruce Colodny, or myself at (916)399-3486 adam@ajrlaw.net I also happen to be an FFL 01 and SOT. I transfer on undetermined status upon review of the rap sheet and my determination therein.
