This video discusses proposed changes to California's Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) requirements. A new bill aims to mandate an 8-hour training course, including live-fire exercises, for FSC applicants starting July 1, 2028. This expands upon existing requirements for firearm importers to obtain an FSC and submit it with their import report.
SB 948 in California proposes to transform the existing Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) into a licensing scheme. This bill would require individuals importing firearms into the state to obtain a valid FSC and include it in their report to the Department of Justice. Furthermore, starting July 1, 2028, applicants for an FSC would need to complete an eight-hour training course, including live-fire exercises on a range. Critics argue this bill creates unnecessary burdens, potential criminalization of unaware individuals, and exacerbates existing range capacity issues.
