Individuals must pass the Firearm Safety Certificate Test in order to purchase or acquire a firearm in the state of California.

Unless exempted, as will be discussed more below, you must present proof of your Firearm Safety Certificate to the firearm dealer at the time of potential purchase.

The FSC Test will cover a wide range of topics related to firearm safety. Obviously, there is a lot of information and only 30 questions, so it is best to cover all of your bases and be versed in all potential topics because you never know what questions will be asked. This also makes you a more responsible gun owner!

Most candidates complete the FSC test in thirty minutes or less. This corresponds to around one question answered each minute, which is rather standard for most exams. However, there is no time limit for taking the test.

Go to your local firearms store to take your FSC test! It is important to note that the test necessitates the presence of a DOJ Certified instructor. As a result, taking your exam at a firearm store is your best bet because DOJ Instructors are usually there.

There is no need to pre-register. Just walk in. That simple! In most cases, you must be 21 years old to receive your FSC legitimately.
