California Firearms Rules

Pete Ebbink · 06-06-2005, 04:26 PM

In CA, we also have a little handgun safety test to pass (30 questions...) and pay a fee for a 5 year safety card...called the "California Department of Justice Handgun Safety Certificate".

Study booklet is available at gun shops that are licenced by the State to administer the test and you can take the test the same day you study the test guide.

The only question I failed was how far can a .357 mag round go...? I guessed and then doubled it...thinking too much about it and assuming the gun was shot straight up in the air and the return flight of the bullet counted...the question asked "how far can a .357 mag. bullet travel"...I assumed the worst case and was wrong...(I think the test answer is wrong...)

I think you can miss 5 out of 30 questions...and you can take the test the next day if you do not pass the first time and not have to pay the fee again.

Pete...
