G-Fist]Wow, i didnt know that Roby, just looked it up.. I bought my handgun a few years back with my military ID. I didnt know that civilians have to take a fucking course! Now im a fucking civilian and have to do the same shit.. Also all my magazines i found out are illegal here in CA. LOL! What a bunch of bullshit.
Yeah, apparently you have to Re-certify it every 5 years too, just in case you forgot your training on how not to shoot yourself, or your friend in the face on accident.
While doing a bit of studying for it, I think I read the "Honorably discharged military personnel" are exempt from this rule. Might want to look into it further before you waste your time studying shit you don't need to. Or ask Rolo he's an Ex-military commando badass with a handgun living in California.
