Handgun
Safety Certificate (HSC)
We
administer this Test for the state stipulated fee: $25
Must
be renewed every 5 years to purchase handguns in California.
Some
Individuals are exempt from the HSC, as listed in paragraph
12807 of article 8:
Handgun Safety Certificate.
Top…
Handgun 30-Day
Limitation
You
can buy only one NEW handgun every 30 days in California.
Pre-owned
("used") handguns are exempt from this restriction, which means most
Private Party Transfers are also exempt.
However,
the handgun must have been owned and used in the state of California.
As soon as you bring a handgun in from out of state, it's
effectively a "new" gun.
Top…
Citizenship
US
citizenship is NOT required in order to purchase a firearm in the US.
However,
any purchaser
who
is not a U.S. Citizen, is required to show that he or she is legally
within the United States by providing the firearms
dealer with documentation that contains his/her Alien
Registration Number or I-94 Number.
Top…
Roster
vs. Law Enforcement Only
The
California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale is a list of handguns
that we, as a licensed gunshop, are allowed to sell to any qualified
purchaser.
Handguns not listed in the Roster
may be purchased
by qualified Law Enforcement personnel. You will see these in our
store, marked LE ONLY.
There are also a number of
exemptions to the list itself, such as
•single
action revolvers
•single
shot pistols
•Olympic
target pistols
We
are allowed to sell these roster exempt handguns -- as long as they are
still in legal configuration -- to any qualified purchaser.
The
roster list changes occasionally. You can check it for yourself too
(there are over 1300 guns listed, grouped by manufacturer).
