Buyer was denied - next steps?

[aeronaut]

The limit on sales applies to all guns now, as of 1/1/2020

Will re-DROSing put the seller at 6 annual transactions?

Will re-DROSing put the seller at 6 annual transactions?

I wouldn't think so since the last transaction did not complete or result in a transfer.

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

That is an incorrect statement.

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.

I'm confused. Why did your friend get visited after he bought a rifle from you? The 5 a year limit is for selling guns.

That's the real question .

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?

So the buyer was denied the first time, claimed they "never received" the letter, and doesn't know the exact reason for the denial... Your friend is not smart if he expects a different result the second time because, presumably, nothing will have changed on the buyer's end since they don't even know what to fix to begin with.

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

There's more to the story that your friend is leading you to believe because there's no purchase limit on firearms.

Per the buyer's thread, he did receive the email but did not act quick enough to appeal and now needs another letter of denial so he can appeal within the window.

Buyer is a really cool guy so I didn't mind helping him.

I guess I don't understand what you're implying. The restriction of no more than 5 PPT sales transactions/year only applied to sellers. How would your friend get investigated for buying firearms, regardless of 8th or 20th transaction? Unless there is more info?

"Section 26500. License required for sale, lease, or transfer of firearms.
(a) No person shall sell,Section 26500 does not apply to the infrequent salehe person conducts less than six transactions per calendar year.
(2) The person sells, leases, or transfers no more than 50 total firearms per calendar year."
