Who is exempt from obtaining an FSC to purchase or acquire a firearm in California?

Active duty military personnel
Non-residents of California
Anyone over the age of 65
All of the above

The correct answer is: Active duty military personnel

Active duty military personnel are exempt from obtaining an FSC to purchase or acquire a firearm in California because they have already undergone extensive training and background checks in order to become a member of the military. This exemption recognizes their qualifications and allows for quicker and easier access to firearms necessary for their duties. The other options, non-residents of California and individuals over the age of 65, are incorrect as they do not have a direct correlation to extensive training and background checks like the military does. Additionally, the option "all of the above" is incorrect as non-residents of California and individuals over the age of 65 still need to obtain an FSC in order to purchase or acquire a firearm in California.
