Not sure what you mean? Your occupation is already listed on your permit.

lol. So it is. Completely forgot about that. Best thing to do is to just duplicate what is listed there.

 

[Sheepdog1968]

Lol when or if you ever get your CCW you'll see they list that. Since I'm self employed it's just my address twice

That now has me thinking. If I change jobs do I need to update my permit? I’d probably call the officer they used to process my permit to be on the safe side. Also forgot that is on the permit as well.

SUBJECT: New “Occupation” Field in the Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) Entry System (DES)
PURPOSE
This advisory provides notice to California firearms dealers that in compliance with California Penal Code section
28160, subdivision (a)(26), beginning Thursday, August 27, 2026, the DES will require that a firearm dealer
enter the purchaser’s occupation for all firearm DROS transactions. If the purchaser has no occupation, the
dealer may enter “None.”
BACKGROUND
Penal Code section 28160 requires that the register or record of electronic transfer include specified purchaser
information, including the purchaser’s occupation. To ensure full compliance with this statutory requirement, the
DES has been enhanced to include a mandatory “occupation” field for all firearm DROS transactions submitted
on or after August 27, 2026. Dealers must obtain and accurately enter this information to complete and submit a
firearm DROS transaction. Incomplete entries will prevent successful submission of the transaction.

I'm putting either "professional ragebaiter", "tactical autist" or "unemployed college student"

All kidding aside, what if you put "none" and your background check somehow comes up with an employer. You sign the form stating "all information is true" could they deny your DROS?

They added Social Security number (which I do not fill in) now adding this. Overreach for sure!

There is no social security number on the dros. You are mixing it up with the federal 4473

 

[DisgruntledReaper]

Actually all our answers SHOULD be .....

YOUR F...IN BOSS!

IN LIEU of that i would love to send them all a memo....

 

[dirty_monkey]

Why do they want to know what we do for work?

So they can do a research of whos going crazy. Remember the old saying "going postal"

 

[dirty_monkey]

Maybe they want to know your occupation, to see who can afford firearms. Then They will Raise taxes/fees till california becomes Gun Free zone.

 

[Dvrjon]

I’m leaning strongly toward, “DOJ Subjugated Citizen”, or, more expansively, “Tax Slave”.
