30 day wait issue

[schulerarms]

I had a customer's DROS denied due to a DMV issue. Customer called within a few days stating that he cleared up the issue with DMV and wanted me to resubmit his DROS on the same handgun. DOJ advised me that I cannot re-submit the DROS until 30 days after the initial DROS submittal date/time.

CA DOJ's legal interpretation of CA Penal Code 27535 is that only one DROS application may be submitted in a 30 day period. CA Penal Code 27535 (a) states "No person shall make an application to purchase more than one handgun within any 30-day period." I was not submitting a DROS for more than one handgun. It was the same handgun. Have any other dealers experienced this? I was told that this interpretation changed about a year ago.

Yes I have run into this.

And now you wait.

The only time you don't get screwed with this (from what I've seen) is if you proactively canceled the first "application". I've had to do this, for example, when I eff up the DROS (my fault) with wrong info. When I've canceled within the first few hours and re-submitted I don't get a reject on the re-submit.

Don't expect the CA DOJ to follow the law. As you say, it is for the same firearm, so under the wording of the CA PC is would not apply to the limitation, but that is not the view of the CA DOJ, so now you wait. It seems that only recently the issue has come up since I had a customer who violated the 1 in 30 and I submitted a new DROS a few days later and there was no issue with it. It was the same firearm, as in your case.
