criminally misused or involved in an accidental shooting? _____ a) Yes ______ b) No

4. In California it is unlawful to carry a concealed handgun for personal protection without a permit issued by local law
enforcement. Because the issuance of permits is up to the discretion of the police chief or the sheriff and policies vary

of the NRA’s Eddie Eagle Firearms Safety Program in local schools.
