Default So the FSC fun begins

Happy New Years everyone,

So my DROS is up today on a new Daniel Defense AR-15 and guess what, my FFL can't get online to take his portion of the FSC so I can't get my toy today.

Looks like it will be into next week before I can complete the transaction.

What a cluster, sure would have been nice if they would have let the FFLs get their portion done before Jan 1 but nooooo, that would be way to logical

Oh well, so much for a 10 day wait

Rick

Dang, sorry to hear that. It's going to take a while for this to start working right.

For those of you with hunting licenses, that and the old HSC will exempt you from the FSC.

The old HSC will only exempt you for handgun purchases. Long gun purchase still need FSC, hunting license, CCW or some other exemption like LEO.

A valid HSC can still be used to purchase/acquire handguns until it expires. For long gun purchases/acquisitions made January 1, 2015, and thereafter, an FSC will be required. An FSC can be used for both handgun and long gun purchases/acquisitions.

The relevant FAQ does send you off to regs about CCW and LEO exemptions, but the hunting license thing will be the main aggravation saver for most. At a price.

I was able to access the system, update my CI profile, download all documents and issue an FSC today. It was all easy. The test is basic, and the safety demo is not challenging if one has even a modest amount of experience.

CIs can add applications to a cart and pay for several at one time and then print the FSC docs.

I am saving downloads of each FSC I issue so they can be reprinted in case of loss.

Thanks for the reassurance. Is there an FSC question guide available for download by the buying public yet? I'm only able to find the old HSC online.

I picked up my Colt 6940 on 12/31/14, sans all this FSC bull. I expect major glitches in the system but sure hope for the rest of you it comes up online quickly. This was my last PROC purchase. The FSC was the proverbial last straw for me.

Now I get to have fun researching optics and gear for this, my first AR platform rifle. Plan to get out to FS for a rifle class soon too.

Been issuing FSC's all morning. So far other than the system being a little slow it has run well.

I have my hunting license so that exempts me from taking the test unless I purchase a hand gun on which I have the original safety certificate.

Also, from the FSC FAQs -

I have and HSC, do I need an FSC?


A valid HSC can still be used to purchase/acquire handguns until it expires. For long gun purchases/acquisitions made January 1, 2015, and thereafter, an FSC will be required. An FSC can be used for both handgun and long gun purchases/acquisitions.

How about a link to Log In for FSC instructors please.....
I have tried searches and other means to find the log in for this.

I should know it's location but I do not.
Thanking in advance.

Oh, I noticed Hunting License only an exemption from FSC as long as purchasing long guns. Handgun purchases would need another exemption or issuance of the card itself.

Thanks! They left the filename the same (starting with "h" for "handgun"), and that may be causing Google some confusion.

I have to laugh...

On Page 17 they use a "High Capacity" Magazine
as part of their Gun Safety Illustrations.


I thought "High Capacity" magazines were inherently dangerous,
according to most California Politicians and AG Kamala Harris...

Wait, from the looks of it the questions on the FSC are the exact same as those on the HSC. Why do we need to do the same test twice? Oh... so we can pay another $25 to the state. This is BS.

I just purchased my first gun, a pistol. Now I found a shotgun for beginners (Moseberg Maverick 88). What website should I study to pass FSC exam? Is http://www.hunter-ed.com/california/ a overkill? I don't intent to get a hunting license in near future and just want to get a FSC asap. Are the questions very similar to HSC exam?

Edit: Never mind, found it https://fcs.doj.ca.gov/forms/FSC_Stu..._Compliant.pdf

One gun shop in my area has already called the DOJ and was told X41 is not a valid exemption for long guns.

This going to be fun. DOJ is making up the law as they see fit, or they have uninformed people working the phones.

Per DOJ.
X01 = Special Weapons Permit Holder
X02 = Operation of Law Representative
X03 = Handgun being returned to the owner
X13 = FFL collector with COE (curio and relic handguns only)
X21 = Military - Active Duty
X22 = Military - Reserve
X25 = Military - Honorably Retired
X31 = Peace Officer - California - Active
X32 = Peace Officer - Federal - Active
X33 = Peace Officer - California - Honorably Retired
X34 = Peace Officer - California - Reserve
X35 = Peace Officer - Federal - Honorably Retired
X41 = Carry Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit Holder
X81 = P.O.S.T. 832 PC (Firearms) Training
X91 = Particular and Limited Authority Peace Officers
X95 = Law Enforcement Service Gun to Family Member
X98 = Valid Hunting License (long guns only)

DOJ is pretty clear when an exemption is only for a certain category. The CCW has no restrictions listed.

I have heard that twice now. Hopefully they don't take that position come audit time. The PC is clear.

right, but they aren't even correct with that list. X13 is valid for C&R longguns as well. at least the PC allows for it. perhaps they are making a separate X code for C&R long guns.

(2) A secured creditor or an agent or employee thereof when the firearms are possessed as collateral for, or as a result of, or an agent or employee thereof when the firearms are possessed as collateral for, or as a result of, a default under a security agreement under the Commercial Code.

(3) A levying officer, as defined in Section 481.140, 511.060, or 680.260 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

(4) A receiver performing the functions of a receiver.

(5) A trustee in bankruptcy performing the duties of a trustee.

(6) An assignee for the benefit of creditors performing the functions of an assignee.

(c) A person, validly identified, who has been issued a valid hunting license that is unexpired or that was issued for the hunting season immediately preceding the calendar year in which the person takes title of possession of a firearm is exempt from the firearm safety certificate requirement in subdivision (a) of Section 31615, except as to handguns.

(d) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2015.
31700 (a)(6) indeed limits the exemption to C&R for C&R licensees with COE (X13)

31700 (a)(9) does NOT limit the exemption to handguns only (X41)

And, I'm guessing 31700 (a)(11) refers to X91 - 26030 is guard card with firearms certificate

So how do we fix the problem for X41 - do we have to sue them over that too or is there an easier route? I wonder what my favorite FFL will say or do, I will try and ask him if he has heard anything.

Default Firearm Safety Certificate - FSC - Ask questions here only

All really simple but as I was leaving the clerk said to replace a lost card would cost $5.00 and the ONLY PERSON that could get me the replacement card was the original guy that gave it to me in the first place! So if I lose the card tomorrow and the clerk gets fired he has to come back and somehow authorize that I can have a replacement? Or just pay another $25.00 and retake the test. Is this FUD?This took place at Big 5 in Tulare.

Thumbs down Firearm Safety Certificate - FSC - Ask questions here only

So I started giving the FSC today at work. Why is DOJ requiring credit card only? Our store charges $10 at the cash register. Then the testee is taken in a room where he/she is given the new test, and also the firearm affidavit ( need to show you can remove lock, load and unload the firearm. At the completion you then are required to pay the additional $15 using a credit or debit card. No cash or check accepted.
So the DOJ is requiring you to have a credit card if you want to buy a certificate to be able to purchase a firearm!!! Seems a little overreach for the DOJ. Sounds a little unconstitional. What do you guys think

So if I get one in my hometown in let's say, Eureka. And then move to San Diego and lose it. I have to go all the way to Eureka to get another one?

who says that the customer must be the one that pays CADOJ the $15 directly. why can't they just pay the dealer the $25 and the dealer covers the $15 payment to CADOJ and pockets the $10?

I know other dealers have been talking in the FFL forum about how the $15 payment should work. what happens to the instructor if the customer disputes the $15 charge? does CADOJ put a hold on the instructor's ability to issue certs if he is in arrears with CADOJ?

I am not using a customer card in the FSC system. I don't want to deny my customers the card if they don't have a credit card. I also am not going to be stuck with DOJ if the customer reverses charges.

So far it has worked. Time consuming, but doable.

Great. I'm buying a lower off this guy tomorrow and was wondering what the FSC scam was going to be like at the transfer.
I hear it's the same crap as the HSC.
Just another tax!
