FIREARMS
Firearm Safety Certificate
Effective Jan. 1, 2015, CA State Law requires firearms buyers (unless exempted) to obtain the Firearms Safety Certificate (FSC) prior to the transfer of a firearm.
In order to obtain the FSC, you must pass a written test on firearm safety and laws as specified by CA State Law and pay the test fee of $25.00. The FSC test may be taken at The Pawn Shop; persons who successfully pass the test will be issued the FSC in store.
The CA Dept. of Justice (DOJ) has published the study guide below as a means to prepare individuals to pass the FSC test. Click on the English or Spanish version to download a .pdf version of the study guide. (The DOJ no longer offers printed copies of the study guide.)
