Youth Handgun Safety Notice Required by 18 U.S.C. § 922(x) and 27 CFR § 478.103

THE MISUSE OF HANDGUNS IS A LEADING CONTRIBUTOR TO JUVENILE VIOLENCE AND FATALITIES.

Safely storing and securing firearms away from children will help prevent the unlawful possession of handguns by juveniles, stop accidents, and save lives.

Federal law prohibits, except in certain limited circumstances, anyone under 18 years of age from knowingly possessing a handgun, or any person from transferring a handgun or handgun ammunition to a person under 18.

A knowing violation of the prohibition against selling, delivering, or otherwise transferring a handgun to a person under the age of 18 is, under certain circumstances, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

 California Safe Storage and Child Access Notice Required disclosure consistent with California Penal Code § 26835 and SB 53 (effective January 1, 2026)

FIREARMS MUST BE HANDLED RESPONSIBLY AND SECURELY STORED TO PREVENT ACCESS BY UNAUTHORIZED USERS, INCLUDING CHILDREN.

Under California law, all firearms in a residence must be securely stored whenever the firearm is not being carried or in the immediate control of the owner or another lawful authorized user. Secure storage means the firearm is maintained within, locked by, or disabled using a California Department of Justice-certified firearm safety device or a secure gun safe.

For an unattended handgun in a vehicle, the handgun must be locked in a container that is either out of plain view or permanently affixed inside the vehicle and not in plain view. A glove compartment or utility compartment does not qualify.

Penalties for violation include infractions up to $500, misdemeanor charges for repeat offenses, and additional penalties if a child or prohibited person gains access to an unsecured firearm.

BY ARMING YOURSELF WITH A FIREARM, YOU ACCEPT A SERIOUS RESPONSIBILITY THAT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF YOU AND OTHERS. The DOJ roster of approved firearm safety devices is available at oag.ca.gov/firearms/fsdcertlist.

  All firearm purchases are subject to California's 10-day waiting period

California law requires a valid Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) for the purchase of any firearm, with limited exceptions. The FSC test may be administered at our licensed premises. Contact us at 949-291-2986 to schedule.

Safe Handling Demonstration Requirement

California law requires every handgun purchaser to perform a safe handling demonstration with the specific handgun being purchased, in the presence of a DOJ-certified instructor, before the firearm may be released.
