$40.45 Dros Cost

[Riflelover]

Did they charge you for a lock? I know when I went to do a transfer at Turners, they threw a lock onto my invoice without even telling me, or asking me if I was able to satisfy a safe affidavit form. It's incredibly unprofessional and rude to spend people's money without their permission like that, and it's one of the reasons why I won't buy anything from them. When I told the guy I had a safe and could fill out the affidavit, he got mad at told me that I Should have notified him of that long before the paperwork was in progress...

I digress... Check to see if they charged you for a lock, and not just another handling fee.

They tried to charge me for the lock but I noticed it and pointed out to the guy that I had already signed the safe affadavit, so he took it off.

FOR DROS!!!! they can charge whatever they want ontop of that to facilitate the transfer, but the breakdown of charges can only show $35 for DROS. As long as it's at least 2 different charges, they can charge you any amount they want.


example: DROS-$35, Storage/Handling - $25, Total - $60 ........ LEGAL!!

remember that DROS is just the cost of running the background check plus a little extra that the DOJ lets the FFL charge. As long as they aren't charging more for the actual DROS, they aren't breaking any laws. I know a place that charges $100 if you order something online and have it shipped to them

Soooo get a clue and know what you are talking about before you spout off wrong, basic information... thanks

My understanding is if it's for a handgun the Fed law allows for the affidavit in lieu of a lock, but CA law does not accept that (for handguns) and says you have to have a CA approved firearm safety device and a receipt (date within 30 days?). Some FFL's will get pissy about what kind of receipt you have (they want it to be from a store vs. buying for an individual party), so it makes sense to see if your FFL is a doosh about the receipt or not.

INAL so the above is my understanding only.

Yes some ffls will charge you for a lock on HANDGUNS simply because they have a different inturpritation of the law... butttt the op is talking about a rifle so that point is moot lol

You've got it backwards. Cal accepts the affidavit and the federal law requires a lock (no 30 day receipt though).

Haha, no sarcasm is just a helluva drug

[lmudave]

at least they didn't charge you with the $25 safe handgun demonstration fee like Sportsmen's Supply in Campbell.... I try and take every opportunity to mention that they rip people off when threads like this come up so no one gets stuck dealing with them.

My friend got charged $60 for a PPT. The clerk justified the extra $25 for storage fee. I'm going to do some investigating to figure out how we can report this. The gun store is located in Ventura County.
