What must all firearm owners have in California?

  1. A hunting license

  2. A Firearm Safety Certificate

  3. Membership in a shooting club

  4. A concealed carry permit

The correct answer is: A Firearm Safety Certificate

In California, all firearm owners are required to have a Firearm Safety Certificate. This certificate proves that the owner has completed a state-approved safety training course. While having a hunting license or being a member of a shooting club may demonstrate some knowledge of firearm safety, it is not a legal requirement for all firearm owners. A concealed carry permit is also not required for ownership of a firearm in California, although it is required for carrying a concealed firearm.
