I live in the shit hole of America known as California, and recently I've been getting dark nightmarish visions and just recently my Police Department busted an ANTIFA coup that were plotting to attack the local suburbs (unaware there's a police department right behind the suburbs! Morons!) and in desperate need to protect my family and neighborhood I went to the local gun store in the hopes of getting a gun. I'll pass the background just fine, and my mental health records were fine as well.
Unfortunately, after walking into the shop with and attempting to purchase a long ranged rifle. They denied me the rifle because I didn't have a license to carry 🙄 they told me to go through with a 20hr gun course that's probably hosted somewhere far away and unreachable in my position (I don't have a car just yet, or a drivers license) so there I am looking at gun license courses and they're temporary on hold because of the riots! WTF! I HATE MY STATE SO FUCKING MUCH!
No you got it all wrong. You just go to this page/pdf that has all the questions for this quiz. Then read them all. Then you take the test (at say a BIG 5) or wherever, for whatever it costs. $20. At one gun store, I just saw this complete moron CHEATING ON HIS PHONE through the whole test and the store didn't care at all.
You don't need this 20 hour gun course that you're talking about. Unless you're trying for a concealed gun permit??
Then once you have your "firearm certificate" you can now buy a gun. Here's where it sucks. If you find a gun, now there's a 10 day waiting period. But once the 10 day waiting period, it's upward of a MONTH to get your background check.
And California has stupid shit like you can't buy ammo if you haven't bought a NEW GUN in the last 5 years. So they want you to buy another gun just to reload your OLD gun.
This state is the worst.
That's still ridiculous. In my state you go to the gun store, pass a background check in like 20 minutes, and walk put with your gun. And you don't need a license to concealed carry. It should be like this everywhere.
