How much are FFL's allowed to charge for a DROS currently? Just a straight over the counter purchase not a PPT or a dealer transfer. Are they allowed to charge more than the DROS fee specified by the PC?

Total ppt dros $47.19 Over the counter usually less. State gets $37.19 shop gets 10 bucks max. Transfer they can charge whatever some idjit will pay.Last edited by ivanimal; 07-02-2022, 3:39 PM. -
$37.19 is the price for DROS if you are buying from the dealer. Some (like Turners) will add $5 or $6 as a separate line item when you buy a gun or guns from themComment

Right, but let's be clear: the fee to the state which we call "DROS" for convenience is that $37.19 - So long as the shop does not call it part of DROS - for example, a separate line item, as noted - then the dealer can charge anything it wants (except PPT, where the charge is a max of $10).

Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!Comment

So if I understand correctly the shop can't charge anymore than the 37.19 for the DROS. The shop is basically charging you their own fee for buying a firearm from them. First time I had run into a place charging their own fee for buying a firearm from them, last week. I was trying to get them to explain to me what the extra $10 dollars was for, and was told the state says they can charge more money for the DROS. I pulled up the PC on my phone and was where are you getting that from? They could not explain so I just walked.Comment

At least you fought back and walked. Some FFL can intentionally misinterpreted all the time! It’s money, in life people do whatever it takes to make a buck.Comment

Remember to bring your own cable lock you have purchased in the past 30 days or they will make you purchase one. You need receipt for proof.
I usually buy one from Walmart or big 5 then return them.
Yes, I've seen stores charge $10 on top of dros fees.Comment

It is somewhat of a new store in town, I just do not appreciate the dishonesty and being deceptive about what they are actually charging the money for.Comment

If they charge more than the fee that is required by law, walk away.sigpic
