DROS Fees

[tygerpaw]

I just bought a shotgun and the DROS fee was $ 35.00. I thought it was still $ 25.00. The DOJ site says $25.00. I called the DOJ and the guy told me it was $35.00. So how long has it been $35?

[DedEye]

Does that include his cut, or was that how much you had to pay + his fee?
When I bought my OLL in December the fee was only $25 total.

[Biff...]

usually the vendor adds his fee of $10.

[tygerpaw]

The receipt said DROS: $ 35.00

Their charge for a PPT was also $ 35.00

This was an in-store purchase, not an internet or private party transfer.

[Exiledviking]

$35 is correct.

[chiefcrash]

$35 is correct, though i think it's supposed to show $25 DROS + $10 dealer fee on the recipt...

now if it says $35 DROS, and there's a seperate transfer fee listed on the recipt, then there's an issue

There seems to be some confusion here.

The DROS fee is $25.00.

Face to face transfers where both parties are present is $10.00 + DROS.

Dealer can also charge a $1.00 adminisrative fee to cover printer paper, ribbons, DSL et.al.

It is unlawful to charge more than that.

It is unlawful to charge more than that for a private party transfer.

Fixed it for ya.

I think it also depends on how convenient it is for you and how many other FFL's would do the same transfer for you.

I have lots of FFL's in my area but Ive only found 2 at the most that would transfer one of the rifles I recently purchased.

All of the others think its illegal and wouldn't touch it with a 50 ft pole.

SO I don't know about the rest of you but I take this into consideration and am thankful that I could get anyone to transfer it with the climate of DOJ intimidated FFL's

[tackdrivr]

Fixed it for ya.

Good catch.

Thanks

I just had a dealer charge me $40 for a PPT. I didn't say anything at the time, but after reading this I should have.

[tackdrivr]

Just so everyones on the same page.

PPT, The buyer, seller, and firearm are present at the time of the DROS.

Dealer Transfer. The Buyer and firearm are present at the time of the DROS. that would include Internet sales, sales from other dealers, or individuals.

On the dealer transfer the dealer can charge what ever the market will bear.

Actually, I can charge a $100.00 administrative fee if I want to. There is nothing preventing me from charging whatever I like in addition to a DROS fee. I just have to lay it out on the invoice as something other than DROS. DROS fees and PPT fees are set by the state. Anything over 25 bucks for DROS and 35 for PPT is outside the regulation.

Now, we don't do that but it wouldn't be illegal if I did.

[Exiledviking]

What fees can I charge in addition to the DROS?
In addition to the State's $19.00 DROS fee, you must also charge a $1.00 Firearms Safety Testing fee and a $5.00 Safety and Enforcement fee. If the transaction being processed is a dealer sale, consignment return, or return from pawn, you may impose other charges as long as this amount is clearly shown as a "dealer fee" and not misrepresented as a State fee.

(PC sections 12071(b)(11), (12))

I would like to see this in the code somewhere. I have never heard of such a thing.
