Buyer was denied - next steps?

[aeronaut]

My friend (seller) has a buyer that was denied by DOJ. This was the seller's 5th PPT of the year.

Buyer never received the denial letter - suspected lost in mail by USPS. Buyer tried calling DOJ for more information on the denial letter and reason for denial, but DOJ would not discuss with him.

Buyer wants to re-DROS the firearm, and if denied again, hopes that the denial letter will arrive with next steps.

Would this put the seller over the 5 yearly transaction limit?

Is re-DROSing the best option for the buyer, or are there other ways of investigating the denial?

Again, calling will get you NO INFORMATION.

DOJ will never discuss these matters over a phone call. They don’t know who is calling them.

The DOJ doesn’t enforce the 5 selling limit. You probably didn’t know that.
(Assuming he’s not a dealer).

If he’s denied he might be a prohibited person so we can assume no ammo or guns (wife) allowed in the house. He should do the CDOJ Personal Firearms Eligibility Check. (PFEC). Google that. $20 I think.

Good luck

Buyer has purchased firearms before. Has a green card that expired, then got an extension issued on his visa

There is no truth to your statement. My friend got a visit after his 8th PPT. And it was a rifle i sold him. DOJ came to my house at 7pm to verify i sold the rifle and the reason.

Any prosecution involved?

The limit is on HANDGUNS only. And does not apply to buyers of anything.

No.
They suspended my friends right to buy a firearm for one year.
After a year he had to submit the eligibility form.

Did they search/seize his legally owned firearms then return them to him in a year, or just prohibited him from buying more for 1 year?
