From the DMV thread regarding new license delays and gun purchases:
Thoughts on any part of this...
I called and spoke with the DOJ this morning and this is the response I received:
I first called the main number and relayed the whole timeline involved and what happened.
• I purchased the long gun at time of sale providing my expired driver’s license along with the DMV renewal paperwork as well as my DMV vehicle registration
• I returned after 10 days and was told by the store that my DROS passed but I could not receive my firearm because I did not have the new driver’s license.
The DOJ person questioned how the store processed the DROS because when they swiped my DL it should have come back as expired. She asked if they swiped it or imputed it in. I told her I didn’t know. She looked the DROS up and verified it was not rejected. She indicated that if the DROS passed and my driver’s license was in fact renewed and I had that paperwork with me (not the physical new one that I haven’t received) then the store should have given my gun as purchased. She then forwarded me to the “eligibility department” to see if they could be of more help.
I then spoke to the eligibility dept and once again went through the whole process. She too looked up my DROS and verified everything was passed and not rejected. Explaining the same information again her conclusion was the same as the previous person I spoke to. If my DROS was passed and I had the DMV renewal with me to prove it was a valid DL then the store should have given me my gun. I specifically repeated the exact documents I had in my possession at time of pick up. Her suggestion was to have the store call them.
