FSC Test 2026 - CA Gun Safety

You cannot buy a gun in California until you pass the Firearm Safety Certificate test. There is no state testing office to visit: a DOJ Certified Instructor gives the test at a licensed gun store, usually the one you plan to buy from, thirty questions with twenty three right to pass, and the certificate is good for five years, so a renewal means sitting it again. FSC Test gets you ready for it: the study material, practice questions with the correct answers and the source behind each one, a handbook, mock exams and practice modes, in one app. Every illustration is drawn in full color, from the correct grip and the pistol cutaways to home storage and gunshot first aid. Answers and material stay verified against California law as it stands now. Who the app is for For everyone sitting the FSC test, a first certificate or a five year renewal. Also for anyone who just wants to learn something new about self defense, firearms and shooting. Quick test Random questions across the topics, for when you have five minutes in a parking lot. Timed mock exam The exam at its real length and pass mark with a clock running. There is an untimed mock as well, for the full test without the pressure. Handbook and guides The whole subject in chapters you read instead of answer, plus a step by step route to the certificate, from the written test to the pickup. Every section names the study guide chapter and page, or the Penal Code section, it rests on. Practice one topic Pick a single topic and drill it until it sits. Practice your mistakes The app remembers what you got wrong and hands it back to you, so you study the part you do not know yet. Question of the day One question every day, drawn from the whole bank. Short regular repetition, with a streak to keep. Safe handling practice Passing the written test is not the last step. Before the dealer hands the firearm over you have to demonstrate safe handling in front of the instructor and sign an affidavit that you did. Here you walk those steps for a pistol and for a revolver, say the answer out loud, then compare it with the model answer. Statistics Where you stand topic by topic, and what still needs work. On every question The correct answer, an explanation in plain English, and the source it comes from: a study guide chapter and page, a Penal Code section, or a named publication. Turn feedback on after each question, or leave it to the end the way the real test scores you. Topics - A: Gun Safety Rules - B: Handling and Operation - C: Firearms and Children - D: Storage, Transport and Ownership - E: California Laws and Buying a Firearm - F: Range and First Aid (Bonus) FSC Test Holds practice questions written from the 2025 California DOJ Firearm Safety Certificate Study Guide, and around them the handbook, the color illustrations, safe handling practice and the step by step route to the certificate. Answers follow that study guide, the DOJ FSC FAQs and the California Penal Code as it reads in 2026, including the storage sections operative from January 1, 2026. It is a study aid: topics A to E follow the official study guide scope, topic F is bonus material beyond the test. Free and full version Free you get a slice of the questions from the first three topics (Gun Safety Rules, Handling and Operation, Firearms and Children), the introductory handbook chapters and the chapters for those three topics, the question of the day drawn from the whole bank, a short safe handling run, your mistakes and your statistics.
