Which of the following individuals is prohibited from owning a firearm in California?

Persons convicted of certain felonies
All non-residents
Individuals under 21
Anyone without a Firearm Safety Certificate

The correct answer is: Persons convicted of certain felonies

In California, individuals who have been convicted of certain felonies are prohibited from owning a firearm. This prohibition is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of the community by preventing individuals with a history of serious criminal offenses from possessing firearms. It is essential to uphold this restriction to prevent potentially dangerous individuals from accessing firearms, which could lead to further criminal activities or harm to others. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: B. All non-residents: Non-residents can own firearms in California if they meet the legal requirements and follow the necessary procedures. C. Individuals under 21: While there are age restrictions for purchasing firearms in California, individuals under 21 can still legally own and possess firearms under certain circumstances. D. Anyone without a Firearm Safety Certificate: While it is required to have a Firearm Safety Certificate to purchase a firearm in California, not having one does not automatically prohibit someone from owning a firearm.
