I recently bought a used rifle from a local gun shop. I was charged $35 for the DROS. Is this legal? I was under the impression that $35 was for a PPT and $25 was for a dealer sale.

It wasn't a PPT or a consignment. It was a used rifle that I bought from the gun shop. The charge on the receipt was $35 for DROS. There was no dealer fee or anything else listed except for the rifle and sales tax.Originally posted by CitaDeLComment

If it was not a consignment, then you where overcharged by $10 for the DROS.
I am guessing it was a consignment...How about you call the ffl and ask?"But far more numerous was the herd of such, Who think too little and who talk too much." -John DrydenComment

They over charged you for DROS and that is illegal. I would go back in and get your $10 back.
Now if they were smart, they would just add that $10 into the price of the firearm. However, they are not and they are breaking the law. Print this out and show it to them.
17.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.

1.How much is the Dealer's Record of Sale (DROS) fee?
The State's DROS fee is $19.00 which covers the costs of the background checks and transfer registry. There is also a required $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, the dealer may impose other charges as long as this amount is clearly shown as a "dealer fee" and not misrepresented as a state fee. In the event of a private party transfer, the firearms dealer may additionally charge a fee of $10 per firearm transferred.
When settling on the purchase price of a firearm and before completing the transaction, you may want to ask the dealer to disclose and identify any and all fees he/she is charging to complete the transaction.
