What is the minimum age to obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate in California?

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 16 years

  4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 18 years

Option B is incorrect because 21 years is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in California, but not for obtaining a Firearm Safety Certificate. Option C is incorrect because 16 years is the minimum age to obtain a hunting license in California, but not for obtaining a Firearm Safety Certificate. Option D is incorrect because 25 years is not a requirement for obtaining a Firearm Safety Certificate in California. Overall, option A is the only correct answer as it accurately states that 18 years is the minimum age to obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate in California. This is determined by state law and is the age at which an individual is legally considered an adult.
