    Does purchasing multiple handguns as an LEO require multiple Dros?

    Just curious if any LEO here have done multiple handgun purchases at the same time and if it could be done on one dros or if you are required to fill out 1 per gun? I did a search but didn't find my answer.
    Thanks!

      Only exempt from the 10 day waiting period if they have a letter from their Department.

      I stand Corrected. I thought the exemption was only for the agency.

      There are several categories of persons/entities exempt from the new requirement, listed in PC Section 12072, including:

      Any law enforcement agency.

      Any agency duly authorized to perform law enforcement duties.

      Any state or local correctional facility.

      Any private security company licensed to do business in California.

      Any person who is properly identified as a full-time paid peace officer, who is authorized to, and does carry a firearm during the course and scope of his or her employment as a peace officer.

        There is nothing to not enforce. Full time peace officers are exempt and may purchase more than one handgun during a 30 day period. Please review California Penal Code Section 12072.

          Im pretty sure if you DROS the guns all at the same time, it goes on one form. No?

            each handgun must go on its own DROS, in order to it to be properly registered in AFS. Now, I think they may be able to have all the handguns listed on one 4473.

            Do you want an AOW or C&R SBS/SBR in CA?

              Nobody is subject to 1 in 30 for private sale.

                  still not sure what you are trying to say. Are you trying to say that an LEO that purchases a handgun for individual use, from a dealer, is subject to the 1-in-30? But that CADOJ "looks the other way" and exempts them from it?

                  edit: I see from your edited post that you figured out that LEOs are exempt from the 1-in-30 for all handgun purchases.

                    Doesn't matter for full-time LEO's. Exemptions are listed in 12072 PC.

                      Each handgun must have it's own 4473 and DROS. Also, you can add a long gun to a handgun DROS but not visa-versa.

                        I just did a .45 and a .38 at the same time....Sign twice, fingerprint twice.. Pay on two separate receipts... Everything was doubled.

                          I bought 2 handguns 3 weeks ago, and paid $50 ($25 x 2) for DROS fee.

                            Do you have to fill out a multiple handgun sale report?

                              I don't see an exemption for LEO in the form, http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-3310-4.pdf
