Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the 'other' category in California's DROS system?

The 'other' category in California's DROS system is significant because it allows for the legal transfer of firearms that do not fit into the traditional classifications of rifle, pistol, or shotgun. Its addition was a key demand in the Franklin Armory lawsuit against the CA DOJ.

Why did Franklin Armory sue the California Department of Justice?

Franklin Armory sued the California DOJ because the DOJ allegedly refused to process lawful firearm transfers, specifically for firearms like the Title 1 that didn't fit existing DROS categories, and intentionally delayed correcting the system.

Has the CA DOJ fully resolved the issues with the DROS system for 'other' firearms?

While the CA DOJ added an 'other' category to the DROS system, new rules and instructions have been issued that arbitrarily restrict its use. This may render the 'other' option ineffective for many firearms, including the Franklin Armory Title 1.

What evidence suggests the DOJ could have updated the DROS system sooner?

Evidence suggests the DOJ could have updated the DROS system sooner, as they quickly resolved a similar issue for individuals from the United Arab Emirates by adding it to the country of origin dropdown within 30 days, while claiming it would take years to add the 'other' category.
