A Firearm Ownership Report is the DOJ reporting category associated with Penal Code section 28000 for persons exempt from dealer processing or otherwise not required to report acquisition or ownership. [1][2] Section 28000 specifies information about the individual and firearm, department review and fee authority. [2] It is distinct from the specifically required intrafamilial and new-resident reports identified on DOJ's reporting page; the available report does not create a missing statutory exemption. [1][2]
