Which group of individuals is NOT required to obtain an FSC to purchase or receive firearms in California?

Active duty military members with ID
Persons with a valid hunting license
Certified firearms instructors
All individuals are required to obtain an FSC

The correct answer is: Active duty military members with ID

Active duty military members with identification are exempt from the requirement to obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) when purchasing or receiving firearms in California. This exemption acknowledges their military training, which typically includes extensive firearms education and safety protocols. As a result, their status as trained professionals in handling firearms allows them to forgo the additional requirement of obtaining an FSC. The other groups mentioned, such as individuals with a valid hunting license or certified firearms instructors, are still required to obtain an FSC to ensure a baseline understanding of firearm safety and responsibilities. This regulation serves to promote safe practices among all firearm owners and users in the state.
