This is one of my first few posts so give me some grace...
I wanted to give some hope to those who are DELAYED with their DROS. I was delayed OVER 180 days!!
And just recently picked up my gun. Here's what I did...
I Purchased a Glock 19 3rd. gen. I then got called by my dealer on the 8th day notifying me of the delay. Like an idiot, I figured it would all be resolved in a week or two...wrong.
I finally started calling the DOJ incessantly, to no avail. I called every number I could find, left messages, even talked to live people. No help. I also had a LiveScan done. No help. I sent emails and letters. No help.
A few life events happened to keep me from being more vigilant about the process, so I could have probably got this done faster, but here's what finally did the trick...(drum roll please)... at the advice of my dealer and folks on this forum, I contacted/retained Attorney Jason Davis (CFG Legal Counsel?). He took a look at my LiveScan (a "must-have" in the process) and informed me that I had an unresolved arrest from 2009. (for some reason, I wasn't able to discern that from my cursory reading of the information...to me, it's actually pretty confusing) I told Jason that that was impossible, since I was never arrested in 2009.
Apparently, after investigation, it was a "phantom" arrest on my record and obviously never actually occurred. It simply needed to be resolved with my local courthouse. On my behalf, Jason reached out to his contacts directly at the DOJ. My situation was IMMEDIATELY moved from the "delay" pile at the DOJ to the "repair" pile. Apparently the DOJ and my local courthouse were in contact and within 10 days, I was contacted by my dealer that, after over 180 days, the gun was all mine!
Here's the moral of the story: Your situation may be similar or vastly different, but bottom line, you ought to have outside legal counsel. I know, it shouldn't have to be this way, and the government sucks and is screwing us and trampling our rights and and and blah blah. I get it. And I completely agree. But that's a discussion for a different time. If you are being delayed and you want your gun, get outside help. I would have NEVER been able to do all that without an immediate contact at the DOJ and intimate knowledge of the system. So there's my shout out/promo/ad for Jason and his services. Hopefully, I have helped someone here. If you have any questions, please IM me and I would be happy to provide you additional details or help.
