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

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In California, the minimum age to obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate is 18 years old. This is the age that individuals are legally considered adults and are allowed to purchase firearms. Option B, 21 years old, is the minimum age required to purchase certain types of firearms in California, but not for obtaining a firearm safety certificate. Option C, 16 years old, is below the age of legal adulthood and therefore would not be the minimum age for obtaining a firearm safety certificate. Option D, 25 years old, is above the age of legal adulthood and would exceed the minimum age requirement for obtaining a firearm safety certificate. So, option A, 18 years old, is the correct and only age that meets the minimum age requirement for obtaining a Firearm Safety Certificate in California.
