How long is a Firearm Safety Certificate valid in California?

  1. 1 year

  2. 2 years

  3. 5 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

A Firearm Safety Certificate in California is valid for 5 years. It is important to renew the certificate before it expires to ensure that you are in compliance with state laws. The other options are not correct because the certificate is not valid for only 1 year, which is too short a time period for renewing such an important certification. It is also not valid for 2 years, as that is still a relatively short time frame. Similarly, it is not valid for 10 years, as that is a longer time frame than necessary for keeping up with any potential changes to firearm laws in the state. Therefore, the most accurate and current answer is 5 years.
