Dros fee question

[Sf911]

I bought a New colt AR-15 and a Glock 27 2 days ago in a shop.
when i do the transfer. They charged me $25 twice ($50). They explained to me each gun (a handgun and a long gun) will need different dros and hence i was charged twice. But i only do the paper work once.
My question is, is that true that i have to pay dros twice or they are just overcharging me?

I think you can put multiple long guns on one DROS but only 1 handgun per DROS.

2 DROS fees charged by the state, one for a handgun and one for one or more long guns. $50.00 sent to the DOJ to take your gun rights away. and to complete background checks on the same day for the same person.

If you are signing and thumbprinting two DROS forms, then it is $50. If you are just signing and thumbprinting one DROS form then they are piggybacking your AR15 onto your handgun and it only cost them $25.

They could in theory attach two DROS to one 4473, but I always put them on two 4473s because I wouldn't want two DROS numbers in the NICS box on the back page for some reason.

Handgun DROS and Longgun DROS are 2 different forms. The archaic looking CA DROS website has them on 2 different buttons also. They were right to charge you $50. Still a rip off....but legally required.


Next time you buy long guns, just buy 10 to get your money's worth (one $25 DROS) =x

OP was right to get charged $50 since handguns and longguns require different DROS.

But shouldn't he have had to fill out 2 forms/give 2 thumb prints as well (since they are on different DROS/forms)?

There should have been two DROS submitted, which means signing two DROS forms and two thumb prints. You can also ask for a copy of the DROS form (I normally give a copy). As far as I know, one 4473 can be done.
