How long is a Firearm Safety Certificate valid?

3 years
5 years
10 years
Lifetime

The correct answer is: 5 years

A Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) is valid for 5 years. This means that it will expire after 5 years and the individual will need to retake and pass the FSC test in order to obtain a new certificate. If the FSC were valid for 3 years, it would expire sooner and require more frequent retaking of the test. A validity of 10 years or lifetime might seem like a good option, but it is important for gun owners to regularly refresh their knowledge of firearm safety and laws. Additionally, laws and safety regulations may change, making it important for individuals to stay up to date through retaking the FSC test. Therefore, a 5-year validity strikes a balance between convenience and responsibility for gun owners.
