...then you multiply that by the number of upc's a company has, Springfield has around 700 the last time I checked, it would have cost
2000.00 fee
$1500.00 3 x 500.00 for guns
$250.00 ammo
==========
$3750.00 X 700 different UPC's approx. for Springfield
That adds up to about $2,625,000 to offer their line of handguns to California. Then it would cost them 140,000 a year to maintain old product not to mention anything new. If you have ever filled out a DROS on the states system it is a nightmare to figure out which upc they refer to because they list them by incomplete descriptions instead of the upc code. Different grips, sights, finish... all different upc's so each one has to be tested.
