Will a background check disqualify me?
CalDOJ checks for felonies, domestic violence restraining orders, mental health commitments, and certain misdemeanors. Most law-abiding citizens pass without issue.
Can I use one background check for multiple purchases?
Yes, for purchases on the same day only.
What if my check is delayed or denied?
Follow up with CalDOJ directly for delays. If denied, you have the right to appeal through CalDOJ's administrative process.
Do transfers require a background check?
Yes. California requires an FFL transfer (with background check) for all firearm transfers between unlicensed individuals.
Important: Laws change regularly. Verify current regulations at California Attorney General's office or consult an attorney for legal advice.
