1 in 30 Reject Restarts The 30 Day Time Clock?

[Elite Armory]

We were just notified that now, when someone gets rejected for a 1 in 30 violation, their time clock on that 30 days gets restarted and starts from the time they made the violation. This means that if they come and try to DROS on their 29th day, they will have to wait another full 30 days to submit another DROS.

The guy at the DOJ said that it was not like that before but now this is how they do it. Has anyone else heard of this as well?

As far as I knew its always been this way. We were just talking about this yesterday. Its one application per 30 days. If they make an application to purchase on day 29 then they have to wait another 30 days before they make another application to buy. Not sure if this is what the PC says to do but I know thats how its been working.

For a long time it was always 30 days from the DROS, if it got rejected for a 30 day violation, you had to wait for the initial 30 days to end.

A single individual at the DOJ (or maybe DES), whom I don't think I should say her name, has decided to change policy to one DROS every 30 days even if that DROS is a 30 day reject.

The bottom line is it appears to be at the sole discretion of who's ever dealing with that particular DROS.

The 30 day clock starts over from the date the rejected dros was submitted

That actually makes sense, if annoyingly so.

The requirement is

27535.

(a) No person shall make an application to purchase more than one handgun within any 30-day period.

and 'application to purchase' is

16190.

As used in this part, “application to purchase” means either of the following:

(a) The initial completion of the register by the purchaser, transferee, or person being loaned a firearm, as required by Section 28210.

(b) The initial completion and transmission to the Department of Justice of the record of electronic or telephonic transfer by the dealer on the purchaser, transferee, or person being loaned a firearm, as required by Section 28215.

So, X buys a handgun, not PPT. FFL submits DROS.

Sometime less than 30 days later, X buys another handgun not PPT. FFL submits DROS. Gets rejected.

The law doesn't talk about successful purchases, only applications to purchase. The rejected one restarts the 30 day clock.

It sounds like technically also if the dealer makes a mistake and has to re-run the dros same day it could be rejected. I have not personally seen that happen but the PC seems to support. Sad that a simple typo technically takes a 1-30 spot.
