What must all firearm owners in California have?

  1. A driver's license

  2. A Firearm Safety Certificate

  3. A concealed carry permit

  4. A hunting license

The correct answer is: A Firearm Safety Certificate

The correct answer is that all firearm owners in California must have a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC). This certificate is a requirement for purchasing or acquiring firearms within the state. The FSC is designed to ensure that individuals possess a basic understanding of firearm safety and handling. It serves as an educational standard, promoting responsible ownership and usage of firearms to reduce accidents and improve public safety. The other choices do not apply to all firearm owners. A driver's license is a common identification document but is not specifically required for firearm ownership. A concealed carry permit is necessary only for those who wish to carry a concealed weapon, not for general ownership. A hunting license is relevant solely for individuals who intend to hunt, and it does not pertain to the ownership of firearms in general.
