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.
