To whom may you not legally transfer a firearm?

A relative with no criminal record
A friend over the age of 21
Someone without a valid FSC
Your spouse if they have a FSC

The correct answer is: Someone without a valid FSC

The correct answer is that you may not legally transfer a firearm to someone without a valid Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC). In California, the law requires that any individual purchasing or receiving a firearm must possess a valid FSC. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals understand the responsibilities and safety measures associated with firearm ownership. By mandating an FSC, the state aims to promote safer handling and a better understanding of firearms, thereby helping to prevent accidents and misuse. While the other individuals mentioned, such as relatives, friends over the age of 21, and a spouse with an FSC, are generally eligible to receive firearms, the absence of a valid FSC in a potential recipient disqualifies them from legally receiving a firearm, regardless of their relationship to the transferor. This underscores the importance of following legal requirements to ensure responsible firearm ownership and transfer.
