DROS pistol and rifle same time, pay DROS fee twice?

Do I pay DROS fee twice with pistol and rifle purchased together? Thanks

If the transaction is a PPT, you are restricted to charging no more than $25.00 in State fees described and $10.00 per firearm for conducting the PPT. For example:

a. For a PPT involving one or more handguns, the total allowable fees are $35.00 for the first handgun, and $31.00 for each subsequent handgun.
b. For PPTs involving one or more long guns, the State fees are limited to $25.00 for the whole transaction plus $10.00 dealer fee per firearm transferred.

I'd like to know too. Years ago (looked on my old receipt), I bought a handgun and a rifle and was charged for DROS twice, then taxed. Both firearms were new.

Yes, each firearm transaction has to be reported, which is stupid, but it is the law. Each firearm is a transaction, but the CA PC states that any number of non-handguns are considered a single transaction, which means that there is one DROS for any number of non-handguns that are part of a single sale, loan or transfer and each handgun needs a DROS.

If you were taxed on the DROS:

Since 1999, the DROS is not taxable, but it seems that some have yet to get the memo.
