Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) Test

by appointment only.

FSC Detail (English)
FSC Detail (Spanish)

In order to purchase a firearm in the state of California, you must obtain a Firearms Safety Certificate (FSC) from a DOJ Certified Instructor.

To obtain an FSC, you must take the DOJ written test and receive a passing score of at least 75% (the information needed to pass the test is contained in the study guide linked below). An FSC is valid for five years from the date of issuance. If your FSC is lost, stolen or destroyed, a replacement may be obtained from the DOJ Certified Instructor who issued your original FSC.

The fee for taking the FSC test and being issued an FSC is twenty-five dollars ($25). The fee entitles the applicant to take the test twice if necessary.

Una FSC es válida por cinco años a partir de la fecha de emisión. Si su FSC se pierde, es robado o destruido, se puede obtener un reemplazo del Instructor Certificado del DOJ que emitió su FSC original.

TESTIMONIALS

No Longer Afraid

“I've never felt comfortable shooting a gun until I took John's class.  From the very beginning, he understood my fears and addressed them calmly.  I enjoy shooting now more than ever.” 

Aimee R., Student

I thought I knew

“I've been shooting for years.  It wasn't until I met John that I realized I've been doing it all wrong.  With a few fine-tuned tips, I was shooting better than I ever had and all it took was a few grip and trigger tips. Now, I've got to practice.”

John W.,Realtor

A Whole New World

“Wow!  John's class was informative, exciting, and packed full of experiences, tips, and proof that his methods work.”

Robert B., Student

I’ve Been Waiting

“Finally!  An instructor who actually taught me something... I now know how to properly hold my firearm after 25+ years of shooting...Thanks John."

Sean C., DHS

Perfect Environment

"The relaxed environment, the fact that John took the time to show us what we were doing wrong with our grip of the gun. Once corrected, we had an amazing time shooting more accurately.  Learned how to shoot in different situations.  John's knowledge of firearms and the law was greatly accepted and appreciated."

Aaron R., DHS

Custom Shop

Fadi A., Military Advisor
