For what purpose is a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) required in California?

To carry a concealed weapon
To purchase or acquire a firearm
To use a firearm at a shooting range
To own a firearm as a collectible

The correct answer is: To purchase or acquire a firearm

The Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) is specifically required in California for individuals who wish to purchase or acquire a firearm. This certificate demonstrates that the person has completed the necessary training and has knowledge of safe handling practices, laws, and the responsibilities associated with firearm ownership. Obtaining this certificate is a critical step in the firearm purchasing process, ensuring that potential gun owners are adequately educated on firearm safety. While carrying a concealed weapon, using a firearm at a shooting range, and owning a firearm as a collectible all involve different regulations and requirements, these activities do not necessitate an FSC in the same way that purchasing a firearm does.
