turner's fsc study guide?

There is learning then there is common sense, I had my 9 year-old daughter take the test and she looked at me and said dad are these real questions because you would have to be a dumb *horses rear* to not get these right!

Your daughter is smarter than some adults.

The part that makes me the most uncomfortable is that there are people who fail this test... multiple times... and they are shooting in a lane near you*!!!





(*chances much more likely if you are shooting at Targetmasters in Milpitas)

Yeah, I hope they pick up reloading next!

This.

I took the test last weekend and I would have been embarrassed if I had gotten a single wrong answer. At least 80% of the questions are pure common sense, which is enough to get a passing score.

The only questions that require any specific knowledge are questions like the one that asks the ages required to purchase a rifle and/or handgun. Only because it's understandable that a reasonable person might assume that it's 18 or 21 for both and not know there's a difference.

It's nothing but a tax masquerading as a test.

I'd be more interested in hearing store owner/employee stories about the safe handing demonstration. Have you ever flunked anyone? How does that work if somebody has paid, waited their ten days and come back to pick up their firearm and can't manage to figure out which end up the weapon is up? Are they charged a restocking fee? I'd imagine that if you told somebody they were too dangerous to certify them for safe handling, that they'd be fairly upset and angry.

When I took mine the guy next to me missed six questions and he turned his in first and when the employee came back and said he barely passed I asked the kid don't you want to know which ones you missed ? The kid looked ashamed and said no!

I took mine a few days ago and passed 100%. The gentleman before me missed 9 and failed. The ones he missed had nothing to do with firearms safety but rather the legalities.

[kozumasbullitt]

I missed 2. I made a mistake on one but the other I honestly had no clue what the answer was.

True or False
A gun lock or trigger lock is intended to keep unathorized people from firing the weapon.

I marked true and was wrong.

The one I made a mistake on was the one saying a FFL is required to transfer a firearm and I quickly clicked true but didn't read the last line on the question where it had some exception. I knew this was not the ACT or SAT so I didn't take it very seriously and blew through it.

Want to hear something really funny I bought a bolt action from turners and pretended like I didn't know how to load or unload the dummy round and they passed me. My daughter was there laughing at me while I did it wish I would have had her video it

I'm surprised he didn't take the gun and kick you *ss to the curb. That's no joke my friend.

[MrSam]

They should rename it the Firearms Common Sense Test...Then again, common sense isn't so common anymore.

So what is a trigger lock do? I would assume just by that question a locked trigger would keep people from firing the weapon no?

I suppose the way the question was worded was to imply that the lock prevents but does not stop. The test is very poorly written in many areas but common sense usually points to the right answer.

[BigPimping]

That test was literally asinine. Just a money grab for the state.

[SoCalEnthusiast]

If you don't pass it, you should win a darwin award, i think most of you guys here would agree.

I went to my FFL to DROS a lower that I had sent to him. I forgot about the FSC. I like to at least scan the handbook before taking it. I just took it knowing I should easily pass it.

The only question I had a problem with was the one above. I marked true and got it right. I still think it is a poor question. I have been able to remove many trigger locks that I have lost the key for within a minute or two using just my hands or a screwdriver. So if that is their intent, they are poorly designed.
