DOJ background check requirement

[Sailormilan2]

Several years ago, a buddy who worked as a Extra Help Special Deputy for the Local SO said there was a new question on the background check paperwork.
The last question/request was to list ALL firearms in the household, including those belonging to other prople living in the house.
My question is this..........what happens to that information once it is collected? Does it got to Sacramento into some data base? Sent on to other places?
Under what authority does the paperwork ask for information belonging to other people? i.e. If my son, who lives with me, fills out the paper work, how can they ask/demand that I give them the information on my guns in my house, that he does not own?
This situation has always bothered me, and nobody seems to be able to give a straight answer.
Is this a DOJ requirement?

1# with today's cheep unlimited Computer Data Storage everything you now ever fill out will be around for ever. Unlike days of the past where paper was archived or dumped after so many years. So yes I would say it goes in to some data base some place.

#2 I was asked the samething when I was going out for LEO. The rezones I was told it was for. (A) to see if your living with some one that is braking the law (B) Restricted persons can not have assess to a firearm. (C) truth full on your paper work & background check.

I was asked constantly in my oral interviews about firearms I owned or lived with. One interviewer told me to get my own apartment if I did not like there line of questioning. {I got ****y with one interviewer over it}. My roommate at the time did not wont to give me the info. My trick knee ended up close the door anyways.

So If you do not wont to give out the info you may have to tell your son to get his own place. live with people that have no firearms or do not care.

Its a standard question on the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) background packet. DOJ has nothing to do with it. That is all part of the process of becoming a peace officer in the state of California. The whole packet is available for you to review on the california POST website. Their are many other questions asked throughout the process. During the psych process, your son may have to disclose everything about his sex life including positions he uses. Reason I bring that up is that the process is very intrusive in to your personal life. If he doesn't want to answer those questions then he should not apply to be a cop. Or perhaps he can also move out of his. Dads house and move into an apartment where there are no big bad guns present (this is sarcasm btw). The packet is used to determine if the person is a liar, if you don't list something they ask for, you can be disqualified. The weapon question is not that serious, its just part of the process. My department does not send any info to some secret DOJ database.
