Existing law requires, with certain exceptions, that a person obtain a handgun safety certificate before purchasing or receiving a handgun. Existing law exempts, among others, honorably retired members of the United States Armed Forces, National Guard, or Air National Guard, from this requirement. This bill would exempt honorably discharged members of the United States Armed Forces, National Guard, or Air National Guard, instead of retired members. This bill would also require a person licensed to sell firearms to provide every handgun purchaser who is exempt from possessing a handgun safety certificate with a copy of the instruction manual on handgun safety published by the Department of Justice.
