The California Department of Justice, Bureau of Firearms, to study for my Firearm Safety Certificate. I feel like you do right now, and even though they make it difficult to own a fire here in California, I am ready to go through the necessary red tape in order to legally own a firearm. I learned how to fire an M16 rifle many years ago during basic training on Paris Island. I could hit bullseyes at 500 yards all day and earned my experts badge. Long ago, I decided that living here in California, I did not need to own a firearm. I have changed my mind. And here’s the kicker, my spouse, who has never fired a gun in his life and didn’t want them in the house, has decided to do the same. We have decided that the trump cult have lost their minds and feel that they can intimidate and threaten because they have the upper hand, their guns. I’d rather be safe than sorry.
