Howdy, On the CA Department of Justice Firearms section, there is a FAQ about the AW Ban. The following is Question # 7 http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/regagunfaqs.htm#7 I already paid the $14.00 Dealer's Record Of Sale (DROS) fee and went through a DOJ clearance check when I purchased the firearm. Does that satisfy the registration requirement? No. Under California law, no rifle or shotgun purchaser information may be retained by the DOJ. The DROS fee only covers the cost to determine whether or not a purchaser is prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm at the time of the transaction. Additionally, once eligibility has been verified, the DOJ is required by law to destroy all DROS information pertaining to long guns. The $20.00 application fee for an assault weapon registration covers the costs of processing the application, conducting an eligibility background check, and creating and maintaining the database of registered assault weapons. ------- Ok, it seems to me that the first thing it says is "It's illegal for the DOJ to retain purchaser information." Then a couple sentances later it says "Send us $20 so that we may setup a way to retain your information [registration]. Am I missing something here? |

Quoted: The DROS (Dealer Record of Sale) system is separate from the AW registration system. They come under different sections of the Penal Code. I get that part, but the part abuot "no purchaser information may be retained by the DOJ". That is limited to a penal code? |

Quoted: Answer they don't keep records on shotguns and rifles but... they do keep records on assault weapons your welcome It's quirky language. The legal definitions of "assault weapon" in the Caliban PC start with: "A rifle..." "A shotgun..." "A handgun..." Kind of amusing if it wasn't so shitty. |
