Multi-Firearm purchase on one DROS?

[Scratch705]

So with the law now saying 1 in 30 days for centerfire rifles and handguns. When I goto purchase two firearms, one handgun and 1 from the exempt list (break-action shotgun) can they be on one DROS still?

Starting 07-01-2021, the 1 in 30 day wait applies to handguns and to semi-auto centerfire rifles.

Starting 01-01-2024, the 1 in 30 day wait applies to all firearms.

#1 It's have guns or Semi Auto Centerfire Rifles.
#2 There is not a exempt list.
#3 One DROS fee, two DROS's if done at the same time.

Ok then i need to talk to my ffl. He charged me 2 dros fees since the system split it as 2 dros.

He seems to be a new-ish home based ffl so im giving him benefit of doubt and hope to clear this up with him when i do my pickup.

Your ffl screwed you.

[Scratch705]

I think this is more about unfamiliarity of this part of the process. he expressed during the process that the only time he had done multiple firearms on one dros was for PPT only.

for new gun sales he has only done single firearms.

if any FFL can post info or even a quick guide with maybe even screen shots (just crop it down to relevant info in case there is some private info that shows up is fine) that I can show him for his knowledge it would be appreciated.

Technically they are all individual DROS just done at same time, to the same person, and charged once, but the only way to tell is at the first of the month when he gets his invoice, he will see he is only paying one individual DROS fee for however many he did at the same time to the same person.

[Scratch705]

just an update as i just remembered i posted this.

ffl checked and he was charged 2 dros for my transaction by the ca doj.

so either the rule changed in regards to pistol + shotgun or ffl made mistake in the transaction to cause the double charge.

either way, the ffl made it even with me by refunding my transfer fee in full so i only paid the 2 dros and the price of my guns. he made $0 off my transaction.
