Curious if anyone has requested a copy of their 1999 AW Reg confirmation receipt from CADOJ? I emailed them once and they said they can't do it via email, you must submit a request in writing. I can't seem to find my original, and would like to be able to provide it to LEO just in case. All the times I have spoken with DOJ regarding Firearms over the phone, they have been extremely helpful and courteous, and was hoping they were the same way when it came to requesting documents.

You don't need to show proof you registered it but I can see wanting to have it anyway.
I'd submit the request to the DOJ in writing.Rogue American, Media Mercenary.

When you get your copy,,, take it down to your fav office supply store and make a 1/4 size copy and get it laminated... Roll it up and put it in your buttstock forever... A few more copys spread around helps too... Cheers...Comment

Yeah, They never sent mine so I kept copies of the cancelled check. finally, I wrote a letter and they sent me a copy. I went to Kinkos and had them shrink a copy to wallet card size and then hard laminate it. I keep that in my wallet.
I've never needed to show it.sigpicNRA Benefactor MemberComment

Yup. The original lives in the safe, and a copy in each case.
After thirteen years, the first time I was compelled to show a copy was this year.
RO at a range I was at was inspecting actions during a cold session and yells out "whose firearm is this?". I responded and he said it had to leave the line. I said it was legal, and he said not without a bullet button it isn't, take it off the line and put it in your vehicle.
Showed him my paperwork. Problem averted. He wasn't LEO, did he have the right to demand to see my paperwork? Probably not, but he didn't ask, I volunteered. The way I see it, he works there and was following range rules.Comment

Send the request certified mail.Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

Had a friend that registered an ar15 after Roberti-Roos. Never got any paperwork back that he recalls. Fast forward to 2010, he was at a range and a RO hassled him for not having a BB. He decide to get a copy of his AW registration only to be told there was no record..This incident among other issues with California was the reason he move to Bozeman MT.

Lytle Creek in SoCal.
Which, coincidentally, is right up the road from you. Incident happened to me twice there, both in August of this year and by different RO's. On the plus side, at least they actually check to make sure actions are cleared while weapon is on the line.Last edited by desertrider; 12-19-2013, 9:55 AM.Comment

We don't need to carry the paperwork on us because LEO's have access to our registered handguns and RAW's in their database. All they have to do is pull up your CDL and do a firearms search and our guns come up.
I've never been asked for the paperwork. The only time someone has said anything was when I took a few rifles to have some work done. The gun store employee told me that it was illegal and needs a BB. I told him it was a RAW and he just said "Awesome, we don't see too many of these in here".
My paperwork is in the safe and I don't carry any documentation with me. Maybe I should to be safe, but thus far I haven't been hassled.Comment
