    Name spelled wrong on DROS

    So I opened DROS of a rifle yesterday and at the end of the process I noticed the kid behind the counter had misspelled my name. I told him and he said he would do a revision. He filled out another sheet of paper with the correct spelling and said this would take care of it. Im wondering if this might delay my pickup.

      The actual check is quick. 239.5 of the 240 hours you wait to pickup your firearm is the CA cooling off period. You should be fine.

        I usually don't even bother to fix them. I have never had anyone denied or even delayed for a misspelled name.

          I was delayed for a mispelled name 5 or 6 years ago. And it was only my first name mispelled (it's not a common name) but the FFL who was doing the transaction at a gun show spelled it wrong (he was DROSing an out-of-state rifle transfer to me that he agreed to receive). Important to note that this was a manual entry, some time before utilizing the magnetic strip CA DL.

          4 days later DOJ put it on hold; the FFL called me to tell me it was delayed but he couldn't tell me why - either they didn't give him the details or it wasn't made cleared why it was put on hold, I have no idea. I had to call the DOJ/BOF to get it straightened out. I could not get hold of anyone that afternoon so all night I was freaking out that it was something more serious.

          Next day I got a lady on the phone who was very nice, she asked me some questions, and right at the start we discovered the problem; we went over a few other things to be sure all other things were correct and within 2 days it was back in order and it didn't add any time to my 10 day persecution.

          It was an easy fix/DOJ resolved it in whatever they do, and I picked up the rifle with no further issues. Yours was caught while he was doing it so I bet you won't have any issues, and I'm willing to bet it went through electronically correct.

          If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?
