PROP 64 reducing felony to a misdemeanor

[The Papa]

Keep me posted brother. I still have yet to hear any thing from DOJ.

Will do. I hope you hear something soon as well. The fact that we can't track progress or even speak to someone is very unnerving.

The Papa the number i got for the DOJ when i was going through my ordeal of clearing up an old problem got me strait to a live person. Call this number: (916)227-1375 and see if you can get a live person like i did. It really helped me get my problem fixed.

Awesome I'll try that. I filed an online NICS appeal and sent an email to DOJ firearms dept. I'm wondering if DOJ doesn't forward their records to FBI so they can update their NICS records?

[The Papa]

After doing the NICS appeal and reading over the instructions I think the fact that I had a failed DROS in March and did not appeal "may be" the reason my last DROS was denied. FBI saw that and said "nope"! Filling out my online appeal I listed both denied DROS numbes and explained why I did not appeal the first and sent docs providing proof of prop 64 reduction AND livescan with updates. Hopefully I get an answer back quickly with a reversal.

FBI is actually processing NICS appeals now, and in a relatively timely fashion? Not that long ago a lawyer on ARFCOM was suing the FBI to this end (successfully) for failing to process them at all or, very recently, for not doing it due to years worth of backlog.

Some one mentioned (not sure if it was this thread) that they were processing appeals from like 2015.

I heard that last year when people were rushing to buy before the election FBI had to pull staff from the Appeals Dept. to cover normal processing. But now the rush has slowed down and we have a gun friendly President things have changed. Of course it's all only speculation and no one knows for sure.

So on a related issue, a buddy was asking if, with marijuana being legal in Nevada and Ca, is it legal to come back from Vegas with less than an ounce?

Transporting across states lines is still illegal i believe. I will ask some cop buddies tho.

Update: (see 17(b) thread for the history)

After contacting my State Senators office they were able to get a response from DOJ that they are doing them in order received and I should have a response in a few weeks. That was on 6/2/17. I waited till last Friday 6/16/17 and let her know I hadn't heard anything. Decided Sunday what the heck it's been a few months and I haven't DROS'd since April. Staff at the LGS wished me luck and hoped 4th times the charm. Senators office emailed Monday saying I would have a response this week. Received email today from DOJ that my response was finished processing on 6/17. No other info in email whether it was changed or not. Called LGS and DROS is still pending. Got home today and went to the mailbox and there it was, that envelope with the DOJ return address I've been anxiously awaiting. Felt like Christmas morning when I still thought Santa left the presents. I opened the letter and stamped in bright red letters at the top "AMENDED"(can't spell it without an amen)! Shows reduced to misdemeanor. Hopefully my next post will be of my SIG that's been sitting in the dealers safe since January.

Congratulations!
I'm still waiting on mine. Mine isn't a prop 64 but I was read8ng your other post in another thread and I got the same letter you did from the DOJ on 3/21/17. So hopefully any day now mine will get straightened out and I'll have my Sig also! Congrats again! And to Papa, keep us updated!

So apparently crossing states lines is still ambiguous because it's still illegal federally, so long story short it's a gray area is the answer I got. If it's a state police you're probably fine, feds of course you are not because crossing state lines puts you under federal jurisdiction. The chances of a fed sitting at the state line and pulling people over...... You get the idea.

Ok, thanks Grumeay... I'll pass on the info.

So nothing is as it seems. I failed the DROS. I contacted senators office and they are working on it. I called the only number I have for a live person at the DOJ and refused to stop calling until I spoke to someone that could help. Finally after 17 calls they let me speak to a supervisor. Supervisor told me that yes my record shows the reduction, but the DOJ is not recognizing Prop 64 reductions for firearms. I asked for a copy of the document that states this and she couldn't provide one. She kept saying that my charge was too old and the reduction only applies to offenses after November 2015. Clearly they are trying to apply the language of Prop 47 that strictly prohibits firearms rights restorations whereas Prop 64 is for all purposes. Extremely frustrating, re-DROS'd today. An attorney from DOJ was supposed to contact me. That will be 2 weeks ago on Tuesday. Will begin my annoying phone calls again tomorrow morning. Emailed one of the Attorneys that offer to restore firearms rights via Prop 64, he assures me he has been successful in restoring rights, but I have yet to hear from anyone who has actually purchased a gun after a prop 64 reduction. Does anyone know of someone that has been successful? I started my process the Friday after the vote, so I'm pretty sure I'm one of the first to get this far.
