Do you need a license to buy a gun? I didn't have to do anything like that when I got my Sig (9mm) but it's been a few years since I have bought any guns in CA.

How one can get a 9mm without a license? That's unacceptable.

since 1993~4 you need to have a BFSC, Military discharge or hunting licenses - if you was born after 1949
now days handgun - a pink slip to your car - you US Passport +

Oh is the question having a "drivers license"? or is there a special gun license required now? I did have a driver license and went through an FFL dealer.

By the way, not talking about BB guns tongue.gif

i know
befor it was BFSC = basic firearms safety class - certificate
now it's HSC Handgun Safety Certificate Issuances by CA.

What is the process for purchasing a firearm in California?

All firearms purchases and transfers, including private party transactions and sales at gun shows, must be made through a licensed dealer under the Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) process. California imposes a 10-day waiting period before a firearm can be released to a buyer or transferee. A person must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a rifle or shotgun. To buy a handgun, a person must be at least 21 years of age, and either 1) possess an HSC plus successfully complete a safety demonstration with the handgun being purchased or 2) qualify for an HSC exemption.

As part of the DROS process, the buyer must present "clear evidence of identity and age" which is defined as a valid, non-expired California Driver's License or Identification Card issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. A military identification accompanied by permanent duty station orders indicating a posting in California is also acceptable.

If the buyer is not a U.S. Citizen, then he or she is required to demonstrate that he or she is legally within the United States by providing to the firearms dealer with documentation that contains his/her Alien Registration Number or I-94 Number.

Purchasers of handguns are also required to provide proof of California residency, such as a utility bill, residential lease, property deed, or government-issued identification (other than a drivers license or other DMV-issued identification).

(PC Section 12071)

Thanks for the info Mosjan ... now that I think back, actually I remember I took a test about firearm safety (BFSC) ... man that was a long time ago.

The Gamo hunter sounds sweet but come on now, we don't hate lawyers that much. Poor Gamavor is probably scared to come to LA now. lol.gif ... ok ok I know that was stupid but still ... "Gamo Hunter"?

Now don't kill me for asking this question, but why would anyone need a gun? Guns are nothing but trouble.
