Answer: The handgun must be shipped to a California licensed dealer who completes the DROS and transfer process
Federal and California law require that firearms purchased online be shipped to a California licensed dealer, who then processes the DROS and conducts the background check before transferring the firearm to the buyer.
If a California DROS background check results in a denial, what happens to the firearm the buyer intended to purchase?
Answer: The dealer retains the firearm and may sell it to another eligible buyer after completing a new DROS
A DROS denial means the transfer never completed, so the firearm remains with the dealer, who may sell it to a new eligible buyer by initiating a fresh DROS process.
