CA DOJ SIGNAGE AND FSC UPDATE

[arcangelwis]

Finally had a chance to get back on Calguns. All I can say is WOW what a furious pounding I have taken for pointing out the obvious. I posted only to help you guys get the correct information. Been off for months(since the last sign change) and I came back to HELP. tapatalk is hard to post with but I did not want upsman to get them up before correcting.

If Kemasa wants to challenge me on everything I will no longer post. You of course will be in the dark as he only posts after I put up the information on this subject. Kevin

Oh, I have a quote too!

After winning cheers and adoration from the crowd Babe sits down next to Hoggett whom says "That'll do pig, that'll do."

Can you tell us why the signage he posted is illegal? I just want to know whats missing.

[arcangelwis]

Understood but he is an expert. I want to hear from the expert as to why what you posted is illegal or not.

Good evening,
The CA DOJ on this type of item would describe it as being in violation. Typically allowing you 3-5 days to correct the problem and email them pictures of the correct signage hung in your location. This happened many times as the dealers are inspected currently. They may be missing all or just one of the signs. Not having any signs posted has happened recently with a gunsmith. The DOJ asked him to get the signs up within 5 days and send them proof. But he was a small gunsmith with no transfers.

I have a contact with the DOJ whom I contact whenever I see the laws change. For example, on on first glance just saw the one new sign. The 2019 sign number one. After contacting CA DOJ and much review I confirmed that there is one new sign for 2019 and three of the existing signs were modified. It requires on my system 4 new posters.

As I stated in the first post I was TOLD with authority, no negotiation, very firmly that CA FFL dealers exhibiting the new signs would be in violation if the did not have the 2018 version also posted.

This is a business, I do this to produce income. I doubt I am in violation for providing up to date information to FFL dealers on Calguns. I see zero upside to having an argument in a public forum.

Different inspectors of the DOJ will have different approaches but all enforce the law. So far I have seen them just require immediate action to bring you into compliance for a sign violation. This may vary by inspector, your history with the DOJ or many other variables only they see.

You are always welcome to call to discuss these types of changes as they occur, a lot of folks do. Many were concerned when they received the notice about new signage and changes sent to every FFL with a CFD. I guided them through the information. Many had misread the dates of changes. Did not cost anyone a penny but me.

Even in my first post on this topic the link to my website would have shown any casual looker the four signs involved clearly.

As mentioned, one sign is new. One added a lot of verbage on top of a existing sign. The other two wording changes revolved around the fines being $5000 or $1000. Very similar wording but "significant fine" instead of monetary amounts.

Speaking about the picture of printing taped to cardboard I said was incorrect. I wanted him to know it was wrong quickly. Many police departments have copies of my posters in miniature or print outs from the CA DOJ. If he had a pre open inspection it would have saved him considerable embarrassment. I did not know his area or if he was a storefront. Most people look to me for help on compliance, I give frank honest advice to the best of my ability. CA DOJ is the authority on all matters.

I tell my customers if the DOJ sees my signage, with the correct count and wordage. They will move on to what they really wanna see, your guns and paperwork.

I will be back when the ammunition law is finalized with information on compliance. I cant type very fast so this is a lot for me. Ammunition law looks easy so far everybody!

Thanks!! That clears up some confusion...

I did not make any snarky comments not bickering. Instead you have a seller who is being deceptive, which is causing problems with FFLs. I have seen no proof that the seller is a FFL.

For some reason you decided to delete my posts saying that the issue was it was the 2019 signs, which is an issue since the previous signs needs to be used.

My answer to:

was removed.

1. This forum is for FFLs and those who would like to ask questions in a civil manner.

2. This forum is to give our FFL members a public place to share information, thoughts and ideas as well as answer serious questions from the membership.

3. This is NOT a place to air your dislike of or personal grudge with a particular shop or FFL.

4. Post denigrating or insulting our FFL members will be removed and the poster will no longer be able to access this forum. If you have a legitimate issue with an FFL try to work it out between yourselves via PM first.

5. Questions for FFLs should be both civil and serious. Questions like 'Why do you gouge..' will get you removed and possibly banned. Frivolous questions will be deleted.

6. 'FFL Bashing' will NOT be tolerated in this forum at all.

7. In addition to these special rules, the standard rules still apply here as well.

[Kestryll]

Are you quite sure you want to go down this road?

A) I can easily quote your deleted comments (Pro Tip: NOTHING is ever permanently deleted from an Admin).

B) I am quite familiar with the rules given that I wrote them.

C) I am also familiar with the General Rules of the entire forum, which do apply here.

D) I don't recall making you a Moderator nor subjecting the rules to your interpretation.

"on the road again...."

[kemasa]

What is wrong with asking that your rules be enforced? Yes, I know you are free to ignore the rules if you want and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

How about the issue that I raised, which others have commented on as well, which he said that the signs were a problem, yet did not say why? That caused problems. He has a problem with me because I provided other FFLs a FREE PDF for the signs, which he sells. That is the root cause of the problem. I guess you don't want to deal with the issue and I can guess why.

I guess I am mistaken when I thought that this forum was for FFLs and was not a selling forum.

Does anyone have the "New FSC Acknowledgement Receipt required before FSC Certificate is issued after 1.1.2019"

[Tyke8319]

Does anyone have the "New FSC Acknowledgement Receipt required before FSC Certificate is issued after 1.1.2019"

Can you be more specific on this "Acknowledgement Receipt"? I'm not aware of that as stated but I've missed things before.
Do you have a DOJ Form number of Code reference?

Crickets eh?

So I am thinking of how much of a pain in the rear it will be to make a form I can drop in my printer that when I print the FSC papers, on the back side it says, "I acknowledge receiving this material" and have them sign and date it. I already keep a copy of that receipt and staple it to their test answer sheet.

Then on the bottom part where it prints out their FSC, the other half can be the information above in quotes that they keep and take with them.

Of course it would be awesome if BOF actually did this for us and it printed out on the standard form, but I guess the $15 we give them each damned test is not enough money for they to figure all of this out. And we certainly should expect them to do it with the vast over payment that $25 DROS provides and they raid for their enforcement activities.

[kemasa]

No. I haven't seen much from you recently.

My reading of it is print out 2 copies, they get one and sign the other for your records.
