CA DROS Delay

[pacrat]

And I believe that you are severely uninformed as to what is, and is not, allowable under Ca UCC Law. As well as Ca pc-28220. And the onus it places on both a purchaser, and a FFL.

Any contract that you sign that contravenes Ca statutes, is void and unenforceable at inception. Any contract under UCC that is based on "misrepresentation" or "coercive" is likewise moot.

That Turdners sales agreement isn't worth spit. Top to Bottom.

If you are OK with being victimized by unscrupulous FFLs, read no further.

If you want to know what the LAW ACTUALLY SAYS. Not what crooked anti 2A Ca politicians say. And the many CG member sheeple that believe them.

USE SEARCH HERE ON CG. .... INVEST SOME TIME RESEARCHING.

MAY ... SHALL ... UNDETERMINED ... 28220 [A] ... 28220 [4]

Be an independent thinker. And ONLY give credence to the LEGAL CITATIONS of the STATUTES, and quotations from LEGAL DICTIONARIES.

NOT WHAT TurDner's, or Kamala, or Becerra, or Bonta say. Because it is in their best interest to LIE to YOU.

ETA ..... Bonta did, sometime after taking office as AG. QUIETLY REMOVE from the Ca DOJ FAQ page. The last vestige of Kamala's Big Lie. And removed the previous last sentence inferring a discretion on FFLs to release after undetermined status.

So NOW, crooked FFLs that refuse to deliver on an undetermined status. Can no longer claim that "DOJ said we could".

MAY

It gives discretion to the gun shop.as is their right per CA law. They are so upfront about it that they include it on their website and on a terms of purchase they give you before starting the DROS.

MAY then immediately

How are they being crooked when they are exercising the discretion given to them by law? How are they being crooked when they refund the entire purchase amount? How are they being crooked when they present you with a document that YOU as the PURCHASER, AGREE TO FOLLOW? Are they not upholding their end of the purchase agreement?

YOU agree to the terms they presented. Now, if they refuse to release on an approved, they are crooked and violating the law.

You just proved me correct in my assessment included in my first sentence of the post you quoted. Alexander Pope was spot on back in 1711 when he said "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing". In this instance, it has caused yourself, and a great many others, to buy into "Kamala's BIG LIE".

Had you bothered to seek the path of researching for yourself. [As I suggested] Rather than parroting Kamala. You would have seen the obvious error in your assumptive premise that "MAY", bestows a permissive discretion. When used in "STATUTES".

https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/May

may
v. a choice to act or not, or a promise of a possibility, as distinguished from "shall" which makes it imperative. 2) in statutes, and sometimes in contracts, the word "may" must be read in context to determine if it means an act is optional or mandatory, for it may be an imperative. The same careful analysis must be made of the word "shall." Non-lawyers tend to see the word "may" and think they have a choice or are excused from complying with some statutory provision or regulation. (See: shall)

MAY. To be permitted; to be at liberty; to have the power.
2. Whenever a statute directs the doing of a thing for the sake of justice or the public good, the word may is the same as shall. For example, the 23 H. VI. says, the sheriff may take bail, that is construed he shall, for he is compellable to do so. Carth. 293 Salk. 609; Skin. 370.
3. The words shall and may in general acts of the legislature or in private constitutions, are to be construed imperatively; 3. Atk. 166; but the construction of those words in a deed depends on circumstances. 3 Atk. 282. See 1 Vern. 152, case. 142 9 Porter, R. 390.

John Bouvier was a Philadelphia lawyer, recorder, and criminal court judge. He is most remembered for his legal dictionary, believed to be the first legal dictionary based on American law.

first bold ... It does assuredly not say, "MAY transfer". It says "MAY then immediately transfer". [world of difference in contextual definition]. Mandating the FFL to act "immediately" Both in 28220 [A] for the FFLs onus when APPROVED status. And again in 28220 [4], codified 23 yrs later, in the same statute. For an "UNDETERMINED" status. EXACT SAME WORDING IN BOTH.

Which DEFINITIVELY SHOWS that the large underlined sentence in your quote creates an oxymoronical dilemma in your improper discretionary assumptive claim. Because you are claiming that THE EXACT SAME WORDS, IN TWO PLACES, IN THE SAME STATUTE. MEAN TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

Had you done as I suggested, and searched the words I listed here on CG. You would have already known that "MAY when used in STATUTES", does NOT bestow permission or discretion. As it does in normal conversation. MAY and SHALL are actually LEGAL synonyms when used in statutes. "MAY [then immediately] transfer", is a contextual imperative statement. Already shown in both [A] and [4] of pc 28220.

Don't believe me? Fine, how about you believe literally every LAW BOOK, and LEGAL DICTIONARY. Used in EVERY LAW SCHOOL in the country? Going back as far as any references can be found.

By misrepresenting the law, >28220 [4]. And coercively telling customers "CAN'T SELL YOU A GUN UNLESS YOU SIGN THIS". Any contract signed is null/void, even before, they follow through with refusing to release on "undetermined".

Don't believe me? Fine. Google [Ca UCC] And scroll down to "WHAT DEFINES, BREACH OF CONTRACT".

How are they being crooked when they are exercising the discretion given to them by law?
How are they being crooked when they refund the entire purchase amount?

IF they fail to return the DROS fee. Due to their own volition of cancelling the DROS. Rather than legally completing the contract. They have NOT MADE THE PURCHASER WHOLE! < Also covered by UCC.

Funny you should ask. I had another member once tell me in a post. [paraphrased] "An attorney such as yourself, should not make such incorrect legal statements".
Which was in direct relation to this very "undetermined release" issue. He professed to be a retired lawyer himself. And I have no reason to doubt it. But how good of an attorney, still remains to be seen. Because he was attempting to defend a FFLs policy of refusal to deliver on an undetermined status.


Me, IANAL, so I only have 20 yrs of practice being a semi well read, old retired construction worker.

But I've been in this ANTI 2a crapfest since the Mulford Act in 1967, and GCA 1968. Also an NRA member since 1973, and LIFER since 1978-9. Same for LIFER in CRPA.

And few things piss me off more than the states constant infringements. But businesses that rely on Pro 2A customers for their livelihood. That screw those customers over, and even arbitrarily deny them their right to possess a legally purchased firearm. Sits at the top if the list.

Be Well

Well, I submitted my second live scan Firearms Record Review on July 29th and it still says in progress it's been over 60days. My first Live scan was I a standard Record review I received a letter back on that one nothing negative just when I got my Teaching cert and background check when I was working for the department of Corrections teaching. So not sure where to go from here any Ideas?

I did my AB165 8/3

Pending !

[DolphinFan]

Delayed AGAIN. Just got the call.

DOJ is ABSOLUTELY playing games.

Ugh.

I told the FFL I will be there on day 31 to pick up my handgun, release or not.

[Preston-CLB]

I guess I am lucky. Put a Colt SA .22 revolver in jail on 9/22. Picked up on 10/3. No issues at all.

It is sad that you guys are seeing these delays. I hope things get resolved for those who are having these issues.

The ONLY issue is the DOJ. Had the same issue last year on another ppt. The FFL had the Release letter but the DOJ failed to provide a release number.

It's just their way to slow the process. No reason with over 35 other firearms and an identical firearm already in my possession the should delay anything.

[Preston-CLB]

DF,

I was referring to issues related to delays by DOJ. Sorry for the lack of clarification.

does your ffl release on undetermined?

[ar15barrels]

Delayed AGAIN. Just got the call.

An unresolved previous delay seems you get you an automatic delay on all your future DROS until the reason for the initial delay is resolved and your record is cleared.

Sometimes the fix is to go get a firearms livescan.
Other times, the fix is to wait 4-6 months for it to clear on it's own.

[Meatlegs]

First 3 firearms I purchased this year were delayed then undetermined. Last firearm I purchased was released at 10 days. Nothing has changed with my eligibility. My lady purchased 2 firearms this year and got them both in 10 days each. She is currently on a 30 day delay with her latest purchase. Nothing has changed with her eligibility.
Bottom line is it's a total crap shoot whether or not DOJ will delay you or not so be sure to only shop with an FFL that wi release on undetermined.
