Dros process question

[rvr350]

Sorry it was posted before, but i have a question.

If the lgs employee tried to use the dros drop down menu, and couldn't find the make/model of the pistol, how did they completed the dros? Except maybe the clerk chose LEO exemption as well?

Also, does doj rejects a dros based on a known database of serial number for any specific pistol? Ie if the clerk entered a wrong sn prefix for the correct pistol, would it get flagged?

Thanks.

Where did my quote come from? Can you please remove it as it is way out of context of your question and not something I said in this thread or to your question being asked.

We will probably need a little more background. What type of pistol are you DROSing? There are several exemptions not just LEO.

You can also request a copy of the DROS. That would also tell you how it was DROSed

Please disregard the part of my question regarding LEO exemptions.

My question is: Does the dros system cross references individual make/model of each pistol with it's existing serial number database? ie if a store clerk erronously entered a wrong prefix of a serial number of another make/model of a non-roster pistol, would the dros system rejects the application?

As far as I know there is no federal law that requires a manufacturer or importer to provide a unique serial number and they may use whatever combination of numbers and letters they would like for serial number identification.

That being said, I did have an instance where a customer was doing 10 DROS for 10 receivers. They were all sequential numbers for the serials. I made a type-o and had entered the same number twice. And the DROS would not let me proceed and said that the firearm was already on DROS and could not proceed. It was corrected easily and it was before we got to the submission page.

No, my wife has accidentally put model number of the gun into the serial section and we did not catch it until the client picked up and we already clicked Deliver in the DROS. We did a DROS correction and reprinted.

Remember serial 12-34 is not entered that way in the CA DROS. It is just 1234

If they are doing a normal Handgun DROS they do not enter the model, they select it from the Drop Down menus.

No worries, I just did not want this thread a clutter with a random quote

We have had DOJ during audits think some Glock serials were Gen 4 and verify them through Glock as being Gen 3.

let me guess they were serials ending in "US" or starting with "AA"

Yup

It was our first audit and I about crapped myself thinking if there was a way we could have messed up.

I have seen where a Walther P22 transaction was rejected based on the serial number. DOJ had flagged the serial numbers of the guns that originally were sold here in this state with threaded barrels.

DOJ required they be sent back to Walther too have a thread protector permanently attached. I believe Walter then laser etched CA in front the serial number and notified DOJ that they had been modified as part of the recall.
