Who is exempt from needing an FSC to purchase a firearm in California?

  1. Active law enforcement officers

  2. Military personnel on active duty

  3. Residents over the age of 65

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

All of the above options are exempt from needing an FSC to purchase a firearm in California. Active law enforcement officers and military personnel on active duty are exempt because they have undergone thorough training and background checks in order to serve and protect the public. Residents over the age of 65 are exempt because they have already gone through the process of obtaining a firearms license, which includes a background check and safety test. Therefore, these individuals are considered to already have the necessary knowledge and qualifications to purchase a firearm. Option D includes all of the correct exemptions, making it the correct answer.
