Frequently Asked Questions

What are the new shipping restrictions for firearm parts to California?

What new rules apply to online firearm purchases shipped to California?

Online retailers must verify buyer ID (age, name, address) and ship only to that address. Buyers must also sign an affidavit promising not to convert products into illegal 'assault weapons'.

Will barrels require DROS in California in the future?

Yes, starting in 2027, certain firearm parts, specifically barrels, will be subject to the Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) process in California. This is a significant upcoming regulatory change.

What was the correction made regarding DROS for firearm parts?

The previous video incorrectly stated that certain firearm parts required immediate DROS for all entities. The clarification is that this is not entirely accurate for the current implementation, though future regulations will mandate it for barrels.
