Hey guys it's been about 12 years since I've bought a hand gun and I don't recall ever taking an HSC test for them. I'm interested in getting an XD and was wondering what the HSC test it like. I heard it was a "no brainer". Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

IIRC, the only interesting question asked is where do you point the muzzle - downrange, straight up in the air or in a direction where it won't hit anyone if the gun goes off? Most of the questions are of the "Is it OK to shoot someone if the tick you off?" variety.

"Is it ok to shoot your gun in the air in celebration for New Years?" T/F

Just make sure you take your time to read every questions clearly. Don't skimp. A few of the questions have slightly tricky wordings.

If you want to become an Instructor for the HSC, and be able to issue HSC cards yourself, let me know.

I took it at the gun show and the guy giving it, said in all his years he has only seen one guy fail and he failed since he couldn't read English.

Soon the state will have the HSC is 26 different languages like the drivers test!

You can take it in Spanish.

Huh? Anyways I had a friend who was an American citizen by birth but Spanish was his 1st language then Hebrew his 2nd, long story. I was going to give him a gun and I got him the Spanish HSC study guide but his daughter and I had a falling out so I gave the gun to someone else instead.

lol, thanks for all the replies guys. I knew i would get quite a few amusing responses.

What I find funny is they allow you to miss 7 I believe out of the 25. I personally wouldn't want someone who misses 6 or even 5 owning a gun. I took mine when it was first required in 2003 then again when it expired 5 years later missing 0 each time. Toot toot

+ 1 what everyone else is saying. get the study guide, read it, read the questions carefully. I watched 2 guys in front of me in line flunk it!

[Timberwolf]

its so easy a caveman can pass it

Or continue living in modern society.

If you fail it, you don't deserve to own a handgun...

You've got to be a stupid mot*e*f*cker to fail this test. Study the inter-family transfer rules, etc and you'll be fine. The rest is all common sense stuff.
