DROS Still Pending After 10-Day Wait is Up

[JeffM]

Just venting here while I wait for a customer's DROS to be approved/denied/delayed.

At this time we are at 240 hours plus 15 minutes since the DROS has been submitted and it still shows "pending" so I can't hit the "deliver" button.

This is not the first time.

F*ckin' DOJ.

[JeffM]

Now at 240 hours plus 27 minutes.

gonna have to wait 241 hours for this. its probably due to the PST>PDT change. its only been 239 hours based on GMT.

It's now 240 hours plus 38 minutes. I just got off the phone with "Patrick" at 1-855-DOJ-DROS (1-855-365-3767).

Apparently because 3/8/2015 was the start of daylight savings time the DROS system's internal clock is having issues with the change over. DROSs initiated on 3/8/15 are having a 10 day plus one hour waiting period.

Yet another example of the Department of Justice breaking the law.

Yup. Imagine that. Government software not working right.

I was finally able to deliver the gun 241:02:07 after the DROS was initiated.

The "Earliest Delivery Date/Time" was also changed when the DROS rolled over to being deliverable to reflect a 241 hour waiting period. I'm surprised (but not that surprised because of the incompetence of the Bureau of Firearms in general) that the DOJ would put it on paper via the DROS printouts that they are breaking the law requiring a 241 hour wait.

It wasn't a 241 hour wait, the delivery time on the original DROS was incorrect.

When spring daylight savings kicks in, its 241 hours on the clock, but it was only 240 hours in the actual measured passing of time.

Presumably the reverse will happen in the fall - 240 hours of real time, but 239 hours according to the clock.

You are wrong about the wait time in this case. This DROS was initiated on Sunday 3/8/15 several hours AFTER the time changed over. The time did not change during the waiting period.

The above would be true only if the DROS was initiated before the time change, but with the 10-day wait ending after the change. That is not the case in this particular instance.

Ooooohhh I see - I totally missed the fact that the start of DROS was after the time change...stupid DoJ!

Sorry about that!

[JeffM]

Yea, can't figure out how to change their clocks.

I wonder if they remembered to change the batteries in their smoke detectors.
