What type of training does the CFSC promote for new firearm owners?

The California Firearms Safety Certificate (CFSC) emphasizes basic safety and handling training for new firearm owners. This foundational approach is crucial as it ensures that individuals understand fundamental safety rules, proper handling techniques, and general firearm operation. The goal is to instill a solid safety culture among firearm owners to minimize accidents and enhance responsible ownership.

While advanced tactical training, self-defense tactics, and competitive shooting techniques may be valuable for some experienced shooters, they are not the primary focus of the CFSC. These areas typically require more advanced skills and knowledge that are built upon the basic safety protocols established in initial training. By prioritizing fundamental safety and handling, the CFSC helps ensure that new firearm owners are well-equipped to handle firearms responsibly and effectively.
