Process for registering AWs in 2017

[ugimports]

If you're going to do this the website you will be using is this:

The registration must be submitted electronically via the internet, through the California Firearms Application Reporting System (CFARS) at https://cfars.doj.ca.gov

This was provided as a bulletin to dealers today. Please don't ask me any questions. I ONLY know what I just posted.

Also, something that is interesting to note is since the DOJ doesn't anticipate problems on 12/21 or 12/31 there will be NO exceptions to starting DROS or picking up if DES is down. This means if you're planning to pick up on 12/31 and the DES system crashes and happens to be down all day then EVERYBODY gets screwed.

PLAN AHEAD!!!! The last few days are likely going to be heavy pickup days. If your FFL has ISP issues or the CA DOJ system is offline you WILL get screwed.

CFARS? The web site self-identifies as CRIS

CFARS must be a sub-page, available later.

please correct me if I'm wrong but,

the deadline to Register an AW is December 31st 2017
and
the deadline to Buy a Rifle (AR-style/ AK-style) is December 21st 2016 (21st because: 10 day wait and rifle must be in your possession by 12-31-2016 11:59;59sec. pm), right?

seems to me some people are confused about Buying and Registering.

Further Q&A from the bulletin:

Q. What if an individual initiates a DROS on a firearm that is affected by SB 880/AB 1135 on or before December 21, 2016, but the background check is delayed and determination is not provided by the Department of Justice by December 31, 2016?
A. The dealer will NOT be able to deliver the firearm after December 31, 2016, regardless of the circumstances.


A. NO. After January 1, 2017, the firearm affected by SB 880/AB 1135 will be considered an assault weapon and cannot be delivered ‐‐ regardless of the date the DROS was initiated.

Q. What if an individual insists on initiating a private party transfer of a firearm affected by SB 880/AB 1135 after December 21, 2016, such that the delivery cannot take place until after January 1, 2017?
A. Dealers should advise customers that firearms affected by SB 880/AB 1135 cannot be delivered to either the transferor or transferee after January 1, 2017, regardless of when the DROS was initiated.
Private Party Transfers on firearms affected by SB 880/AB 1135 should not be initiated after December 21, 2016, unless the buyer has a 10‐day waiting period exemption. Since a dealer cannot legally deliver a firearm affected by SB 880/AB 1135, they will not be required to process Private Party Transfers specific to those firearms.

Q. Are there any circumstances in which the Department of Justice would allow for the delivery of a firearm affected by the new legislation (SB 880/AB 1135) after December 31, 2016.
A. NO. To the extent possible, firearms dealers should recommend that their customers not wait until the last minute to pick up their firearms.

Of course, those conducting PPT's behind the 7/11 in Boyle Heights have nothing to worry about.

California legislation; cultivators of turning the law-abiding into criminals by creating new names for inanimate objects, all while nurturing a black-market for felons who trade without impunity.
