In California, who is required to pass the Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) test before purchasing a firearm?

Every resident
Only first-time purchasers
Only those without a hunting license
Minors under the age of 18

The correct answer is: Every resident

California requires that all residents pass the Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) test before purchasing a firearm. This means that anyone living in California, whether they are a first-time purchaser or have previously bought firearms, must take and pass the FSC test. Option B, only first-time purchasers, is incorrect because even if a person has previously bought firearms in California, they are still required to pass the FSC test. Similarly, option C, only those without a hunting license, is incorrect because having a hunting license does not exempt a person from taking the FSC test. Option D, minors under the age of 18, is also incorrect because the FSC test is required for all California residents, regardless of age.
