Firearms Safety Cert (FSC, HSC replacement)

[1911su16b870]

Got my log in info today, the FSC study guide and tests are up as pdfs.

[SmokinMr2]

The email I got lists a different web site and states it will not be up until 1-1-15

The Department of Justice (the Department) will utilize an online system for the Firearm
Safety Certificate Program to make FSC materials available to all DOJ Certified Instructors,
including the Firearm Safety Certificates, test materials, the FSC study guide, and the FSC
manual. The study guide will be available for printing and audio/visual materials will be
available for viewing/downloading from the Bureau of Firearms website at
https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/fsc. Please be advised, this link will not be available until January 1, 2015.

Got mine this morning.

How are you guys planning on printing the cards? Card stock or just normal paper?

[halifax]

I'm hoping they'll fit a standard Avery card stock. Haven't seen one yet though.

Why spend the extra? Normal paper is the easy way to go. It should be possible to save the file in case it needs to be printed later.

That was my thought. Printing costs are already way too high, this new program is not going to help in that department.

They have made enough changes so that we, the FFLs, have to pay for printing stuff. They don't send the tests out anymore, we get to print them. All the copies of the DROS forms are also absurd. They should make it possible to have one DROS with multiple firearms listed (yeah, none should have to actually be listed in a free state).

The DOJ said $25.00. Is that what it cost the dealer or the customer?

Probably the customer. Interesting though if we are now printing everything the state shouldn't have to collect any money anymore.

its just like it was for the HSC.

you charge the customer up to $25, $15 goes to the state.

Does anyone know where this URL came from? It was not in any correspondence I have received (I have User ID and PW). I was able to log on, change password (mandatory), update profile, print new FSC Instructor card, and download and print materials at that site.

Now when I attempt to log on I get:
The Firearms Certification System (FCS) is currently unavailable.

I am now wondering if this is a test site and all of the PW and profile info entered here will not be transferred to the site that goes live on Jan 1, 2015??

[kemasa]

It is the site that they told me over the phone, as well as was posted here.

I suspect it is just overloaded or they are doing work on it. I have seen that same message when others tried it, but then it worked a bit later. It is working now.

In the PDF I received my username in it was in the middle of the page where it said:
