Which of the following individuals is exempt from needing a Firearm Safety Certificate in California?

  1. A person with a hunting license

  2. Active military personnel

  3. A person with a prior felony conviction

  4. A nonresident of California buying a firearm

The correct answer is: Active military personnel

Generally, all individuals purchasing or owning a firearm in California are required to have a Firearm Safety Certificate. However, active military personnel are exempt from this requirement because they are already trained and have experience handling firearms. A person with a hunting license is not exempt from needing a Firearm Safety Certificate because hunting licenses do not cover all aspects of firearm safety. A person with a prior felony conviction is also not exempt because it is illegal for individuals with felony convictions to possess firearms. Nonresidents of California are not exempt either because the state requires all firearm purchases to go through a licensed dealer, who will issue a Firearm Safety Certificate.
