POLICIES AND RULES

DROS (Dealer Record Sale)

All DROS have a mandatory 10-day waiting period (10 x 24 hour periods or 240 hours) unless you have a valid waiting period exemption.  We are not able to release your firearm until the full waiting period has passed.   If you go over 30 days, you will need to re-run DROS, pay an additional $25.00 and wait another 10 days. You will be provided with the earliest pick-up date upon completion of your DROS process.  In most circumstances we can release on the 10th day so long as we know what exact time to the minute that we DROSed the gun  All firearms must be picked up within 30 days of the initial DROS date.  If you fail to pick up your firearm within the 30 days, your DROS is automatically cancelled and you will have to re-start the DROS process.  Fees will apply if a re-DROS is required.

FIREARM SAFETY DEVICES

  • Effective January 1, 2002, the State of California requires that all firearms sold within the state, whether new or used, must be accompanied by a certified CA Department of Justice firearm safety device.  
  • Most manufacturers ship their guns with a lock, however not all are CA DOJ certified.  Most new guns come with a cable lock.  Locks are required for all guns, new or used, including lower receivers.
  • If you have an approved gun safe, you are exempt from the gun lock requirement for long guns only. You can fill out and sign a Safe Affidavit to include with your file to meet this requirement. You must know your gun safe make and model and safety features for the Safe Affidavit.
  • The CA DOJ Approved Firearm Safety Device list can be found here:  http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/fsdcertlist/

CALIFORNIA BOARD OF EQUALIZATION SALES TAX

  • If a firearm is coming in from outside of California, The California Board of Equalization (BOE), requires that Sales Tax must be collected on the entire purchase price, including shipping fees.
  • A detailed invoice must be provided at time of DROS so fees can be calculated accordingly.
  • If Sales tax has already been collected, then a detailed invoice is required, showing that Sales tax has indeed been collected by the seller.  The invoice must include the purchaser's name, firearm information (make, model serial #) and seller details.
  • If no invoice can be provided, CA Sales Tax will be based off of the “Fair Market Value” of the firearm, but we will still need a “Bill of Sale” stating the Seller’s information, Buyer’s information, firearm information and any additional information regarding the sale between both parties.
  • The transfer process cannot be finalized without the sales tax information on file.
