Who is prohibited from owning a firearm in California?

Individuals under 21 years of age.
Individuals convicted of certain misdemeanors.
Non-residents of California.
License holders of other states.

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of certain misdemeanors.

In California, the law prohibits individuals who have been convicted of certain misdemeanors from owning a firearm. This includes offenses such as assault, domestic violence, and drug offenses. Option A, individuals under 21 years of age, is incorrect because California law allows individuals aged 18-20 to obtain a license to own a firearm, although they are restricted in the type of firearms they can purchase. Option C, non-residents of California, is incorrect because there are processes for non-residents to legally purchase and own firearms in the state. Option D, license holders of other states, is incorrect because California law does not automatically recognize out-of-state gun licenses and has its own criteria for owning firearms.
