Failed Background Check on PPT

[Boswell]

I have never done a PPT and do not know the rules, so be gentle. If you are doing a PPT at a FFL, does the 10-day wait include a background check on the buyer? What happens to the gun, if the background check fails? Does the FFL call the seller to pickup the gun or does the FFL keep it?

There is the normal wait and background check. The gun is returned to the seller if the buyer fails the check. The FFL will call the seller. The seller also gets the check to be sure they can have the gun back. This happened to me - thebuyer failed the check for some reason. I like to use Gussler here in San Diego - they know what they are doing and never complain.

I asked turners this same question about 2 weeks ago. They said because the seller has sold it, it gets turned over to leo. It can't just be returned to the seller because it doesn't belong to him anymore and it's not the buyers because he failed the background check and its not the stores so its turned over to Leo. That's what I was told

I think Turner's led you astray. If the buyer of a PPT is denied (not delayed), the firearm will go back to the seller, who will need to reDROS.

Per CA laws [PC 28050(d)], the firearm gets returned to the seller. If the seller can not accept it, then it gets turned into LE for destruction.
