FFL lost records.

Over the years I've submitted a number of "No Longer in Possession" form to DOJ. Until a few years ago, they were accepted pretty promptly, and I would receive an acknowledgement. Then something changed. DOJ rejected my submission and wanted proof. I had to provide them the receipt from the Dealer that was used to ship it out of state, and a bill-of-sale. Then they accepted it. I'm guessing something came to light and they stopped taking submissions at face value.

More proof that CA's system is full of errors and they are encouraging people to continue to allow more errors in the system. CA DOJ really has no reason to question voluntary submissions or demand proof of who/where the firearm went.

I had a customer who had me ship a gun he sold on Gunbroker to the buyer's FFL. He sent in the "No Longer in Possession" form to DOJ. They rejected it and wanted proof of sale/transfer. I updated his invoice to include the dealer I shipped the firearm to and it was accepted by DOJ.

Apparently DOJ won't just take your word for it. Not sure what would have happened if he told DOJ to pound sand...

Absolutely nothing. You're not required by federal or state law to tell them you are no longer in possession. If its a CA to CA resident, its done via DROS.

This does not apply to lost or stolen which IS required via the local PD
