There is no training required to buy guns in CA. You have to get a safety certificate, which requires passing a multiple choice test, but no training. I haven’t seen this test myself (I’m not a gun person) but I’ve heard it described as basically trivial, that anyone with some common sense could pass it with no study whatsoever.
Training is required to get a concealed carry permit, but that’s a different level than just buying guns.
Ah. When I was reading it on calgov it seemed like it would be more in depth. I guess it does make more sense for a CCW since a person will be carrying it on their person more often.
I do want to train and learn best practices if/when I own a gun though. Don’t want to be “that guy” when out hunting or at a range.
