For a child to legally shoot a firearm under supervision, what must be obtained in California?

  1. A driver's license

  2. A Firearm Safety Certificate

  3. Parental permission

  4. A hunting license

The correct answer is: A Firearm Safety Certificate

In California, for a child to legally shoot a firearm under supervision, they must obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC). This certificate ensures that the child has undergone the necessary training and possesses the knowledge of firearm safety laws and handling. It is a legal requirement in California for anyone who wishes to purchase or own a firearm. While parental permission may be necessary, it alone does not grant legal permission for a child to shoot a firearm. A driver's license and a hunting license are not directly related to the legal permission needed for a child to shoot a firearm under supervision in California.
