Hi all,
Thanks for your time and support with reading this. I hold both a current FFL03 and a current CA COE, and I was recently denied by the DOJ on a purchase of a handgun due to the 1 in 30 law. I have first hand knowledge, based on my literacy skills and the exemption noted below in the PC, that the argument and/or reason of the DOJ representative is invalid. The penal code and the exemption read as follows:
The FFL, who I have used for all of my recent transactions, stated that a DOJ rep called and informed him the denial was due to an FFL03 only exempting the collector from C&R handguns. My understanding, which again is based on my ability to read, is that the DOJ stance is factually incorrect; does anyone have info on how to contact a human at DOJ to rectify this? I was on hold for almost an hour today (twice) and I'd really appreciate a phone number via PM if possible.
While I know how tempting it might be to respond with (800) YOU SUCK, (916) LOLNOPE, etc., please refrain from doing so; I'd appreciate a serious approach to this worrisome error.
Thanks for your time and support.

If this should be posted in the FFL forum, please let me know or move it as needed. Thanks!
