Effing Turners man!

None of my FFLs will take the change of address card as valid proof of residency. So carrying that little piece of paper with your sig and date mean NOTHING to an FFL. Only a Cal ID printed address or Cal Driver's License address is valid proof. Lucky for me I've always had other proofs. No, I don't carry round a stupid little piece of paper with my license.

As I've legally changed my address 4 times..

You don't get a new license for change of address....so, I wonder how they handle this?

Per the CA DMV website:

How to notify DMV when I change my address
Law states that you must notify DMV within 10 days of changing your address. There is no charge to change your address, and you may notify DMV by any of the following ways:
Complete your change of address online.
Call any DMV office at 1 (800) 777-0133 and request that a change of address form be mailed to you. It will take 5 days for you to receive it. Complete the information required on the form, then mail it to the address listed at the top of the form.
Download the Change of Address form DMV 14, complete the information, and mail it to the address listed at the top of the form.
Visit any DMV office, complete a change of address form, and give it to a technician. The technician will give you a Change of Address Certificate card (DL 43) to complete and carry with your license.
If you do 2 or 3 above, type or write in ink your new address on a small piece of paper, sign and date it. Carry this piece of paper with your license. Do not tape or staple the change of address information to your driver license.

Go to AAA and have your car registration amended to match the licence. It's around $20. I live in the mountains and am required to have a po box which is what's on my licence and is a no go for firearms purchases. I added my physical address to the car registration and all is good

I can't do that because with my name on it the insurance agent said we'd be paying almost $8,000 a year. I just turned 21 so........

Rifle gear just put that policy into place a month or so ago.

ugh; so maybe there is a reason behind it (re: state gov bugging them)...

obviously its going to hurt impulse sales if you can't use the time of the sale as the start of process for getting your documents togeather...

[kcjr1125]

you show up without the proper paperwork and somehow it is Turner's fault, really?

Don't you know? OP knows it all, duh!

Beat me to it.

This is like when illegals sue for nonsense because something isn't available to them and they aren't supposed to be here in the first place.

Anyone who has ever worked a gun store knows that the frequency of people who show up with the incorrect paperwork is unreasonable high. People come in to pick up without address corrections or proofs and it is a giant pain. Even if they do bring something, it seems half the time it is wrong like a vehicle insurance, passport, or a bank statement. Or they bring the right one that is no good; like a utility bill from a year ago or an expired vehicle reg. Then they argue. And it turns to a nightmare if the FFL has already the hit the deliver button on the DES.

If I owned my own shop, everything due on DROS or come back with the right stuff.

So if a shop didn't require a document to start the process of purchasing something the first two times you did that same process, there have been no new laws regarding said process, would it not be reasonable to assume you could start said process without those documents? It's not as if I was requesting them to do anything illegal here and all my other particulars are correct. Turner's were just being douches.

That's what happens when you go to Turners

yes, it would be reasonable to assume that, but there are reasons why a shop may have one policy for store sales and another for PPTs.

if you went into to turners and purchased something but did not have all your paperwork, they would be willing to start the sale, because if you never brought your paperwork in, they'd just keep the non-refundable portion of the deposit and put the firearm back on the shelf for sale.

but for your PPT, if you never bring in acceptable paperwork, then Turner's has to get the seller involved again to have him come pick up the firearm. and if the seller won't come in ("I got paid, it's not my problem anymore" or the seller comes up prohibited), then Turner's has to deal with turning the firearm to the local LEA. And all this for the $10 PPT fee. So, as you can see, just because they are flexible on a Turner's sale doesn't mean that they have/want to be as flexible on a PPT.

And it isn't just turner's that does this for PPTs, I seem to recall other CGN vendors posting the same thing when customers complained about their PPT policy.

I understand. OK so maybe that Turner guy was just being vigilant, still a PITA though. I already filled out the form saying I'm not a criminal/insane/druggie etc.

FFLs seem to have different requirements. I moved a few months ago, and my driver's license still has my old address (even though I submitted a change of address form with the DMV). My vehicle registration has my new, correct address. I bought a handgun on Friday from my favorite LGS. They said the updated vehicle registration was all they needed. A few weeks ago, I tried to buy a rifle from Bass Pro Shop. They said that because my driver's license address was not current, I would need to bring in two utility bills in my name from the last 30 days. I had my updated vehicle registration with me, but they said it wasn't enough. I left BPS without buying the rifle. I won't be buying any guns from them for the next year and a half, until I get a new driver's license issued. I'm not going to play the utility bill game.
