    From the time you start your DROS paperwork on a new handgun purchase.

    This only applies for new handgun purchases only. Long guns (rifles & shotguns) and PPT's are exempt from the 30 day wait period.

            Because you can only kill people with NEW handguns.

                  No, anything you purchase from a dealer, new or used.

                    That might also be true....I've never bought a used gun from a dealer so I'm not sure. Check on it

                      New vs used and dealer sale really is an oversimplification.

                      The rule is you can't apply to purchase more than 1 handgun within any 30 day period. The exceptions are:

                      • Any law enforcement agency or agency duly authorized to perform law
                      enforcement duties.
                      • Any state or local correctional facility.
                      • Any private security company licensed to do business in California.
                      • Any person who is properly identified as a full-time paid peace officer who carries a firearm
                      during the course and scope of his or her employment as a peace officer.
                      • Any motion picture, television, or video production company or entertainment or
                      theatrical company whose production by its nature involves the use of firearms.
                      • Any person who may, pursuant to Penal Code section 12078, claim an exemption
                      from the waiting period set forth in Penal Code section 12072.
                      • Any transaction between private parties conducted through a licensed firearms
                      dealer.
                      • Any person who is licensed as a collector pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section
                      921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued
                      pursuant thereto and who has a current certificate of eligibility issued by the
                      Department of Justice.
                      • The exchange of a handgun where the dealer purchased that handgun from the
                      person seeking the exchange within the 30-day period immediately preceding the
                      date of exchange or replacement.
                      • The replacement of a handgun that has been reported to law enforcement as lost or
                      stolen prior to the time of application to purchase.
                      • The return of any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon
                      the person to its owner
