NEWS FLASH
I have been informed that DPS has sent letters to individuals across the state regarding the DPS-3-c forms for transferring handguns.
DPS seems to be threatening individuals across the state because THEY don't have information in their files.
More to follow on this topic after a planned Freedom of Information Request is made to DPS regarding the number of letters sent out and the number of missing forms.
I will scan and include the text of a recently obtained letter in the near future.
Here is the text of the letter, I removed the name of the individual and the authorization numberso asto protecthis identity.
NAME REDACTED
Subject: Late DPS-3-C (Sale of Transfer of All Firearms).
Recently you obtained an authorization number(s) for the following firearm(s) transaction(s). To date we have not received a DPS-3-C for the firearm(s).
