What are the penalties for failing to secure a firearm from a child under California law?

  1. Monetary fine only

  2. Monetary fine and/or imprisonment

  3. Community service

  4. No penalties

The correct answer is: Monetary fine and/or imprisonment

This is because under California law, it is a criminal offense to fail to secure a firearm from a child. This means that while a monetary fine may be imposed, imprisonment is also a possible penalty for this offense. Community service may be an alternate penalty, but it is not the primary penalty for this specific offense. Option D, no penalties, is incorrect because there are penalties for failing to secure a firearm from a child under California law.
