Peace Officer Non-Roster Handgun Sale
Select the Peace Officer Non-Roster Handgun Sale transaction type when the individual purchasing the handgun is a peace officer and has a letter from his/her law enforcement agency giving permission to purchase a non-roster handgun.

Think this is just a misprint by the guide's author?

Hard to tell - this link to the DOJ archives - http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/exemptpo - says

Policy Change Regarding State Exemptions for Authorized Peace Officers

Effective immediately, peace officers who have legislative authority to carry and use firearms may, without a letter signed by the head of their agency or the agency head's designee, purchase non-rostered handguns and/or large capacity magazines. The peace officer must present a valid peace officer identification card and the dealer must retain a copy of the identification card on file. (PC 12132 & 12133). A letter is still required from the head of the agency to exempt the peace officer from the ten day waiting period. (PC 12078).

If DOJ thinks that is a 'policy change', it would be reasonable that they should be able to change the policy, but neatness would suggest they might make a formal announcement.

No payments by cash or check. Ugh.. I use separate accounts for a reason.

"Dealers will be able to use multiple web-browsers to access DES, including but not limited to: Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome, and others."

Aren't Debit/VISA cards available for most checking accounts these days. I know I still prefer mailing a check but apparently that's not going to be an option.

Wanna bet this new website was created by the fine folks who created the oblamacare website....

[kemasa]

Actually, it is brought to you by the fine folks at the CA DOJ.

They put it out to bid and got no responses.

Anybody get enrolled yet? I've been trying the website for the last few days, and it's been down.

[kemasa]

I doubt that anyone has been able to get enrolled since enrollment starts on 04-Nov-2013.

RIP the TPF/kemasa adding long guns to a DROS debate. Died 1/1/14.

I'm sitting here reading the new DES user guide, and under the aquisition transactions chapter, it states all dealers have access to the "buy transaction type" Does this mean dealers without a secondhand dealers license can now purchase firearms from non licensee's for resale? Obviously, not to include pawn/consignment.

I thought that the renumbering caused it to die, but perhaps it is like a zombie and will just continue on forever.

I don't think so since you would not be a secondhand dealer. Unless they are getting rid of the whole secondhand dealer concept, which I have not seen, nothing would change.
