Gun control in California is very strict. Gao Guang needs to obtain some documents to buy a gun.
Gao Guang has already obtained the Firearms Safety Certificate (FSC), which he can obtain by taking a shooting class and passing a test at a gun store and shooting club.
The FSC exam mainly tests the knowledge of safe gun use, with ten true-or-false questions and twenty multiple-choice questions, for a total of thirty questions. A score of twenty-three correct answers is required to pass, and Gao Guang answered all thirty questions correctly.
Then Gao Guang also obtained a hunting license, which requires ten hours of class time at a gun store and passing a test of one hundred questions, with eighty correct answers needed to pass. He also answered all one hundred questions correctly.
Now Gao Guang can legally buy guns, including long guns, hunting guns, shotguns, and pistols. However, he cannot carry them on his person when he goes out. He must separate the gun and ammunition and put them in the car trunk.
The concealed carry permit that Frank and John have been talking about is very difficult to obtain in California, but some legal jobs can allow one to obtain it. So Gao Guang has a very convenient condition to apply for a concealed carry permit, because he is an employee of King Defense Company, which is legal. As long as he has a work permit, he can definitely pass.
Gao Guang has completed several prerequisites for a concealed carry permit. He took an eight-hour class at a gun store certified by California, passed a live-fire shooting test, obtained the coach's certification, and got the coach's signature.
Now, Gao Guang needs to submit his information to the police station.
After Gao Guang submitted the documents, the black female police officer in charge of receiving the materials stared at him and asked, "Otto Schmidt, are you Otto Schmidt?"
Gao Guang nodded expressionlessly and said weakly, "Yes, I am Otto Schmidt."
The female police officer carefully looked at Gao Guang, then shrugged and said loudly, "Take fingerprints, take a photo, and pass the federal background check. Next."
Gao Guang took the photo and fingerprints like a wooden man, and then waited for the FBI's background check.
The background check is definitely not a problem. His background is very clean. After 120 days, he can get a concealed carry permit and carry a gun with him.
But Gao Guang has completely lost his excitement now, and only has deep exhaustion and helplessness.
He walked woodenly to John's car, opened the passenger door, and stared at John sitting in the passenger seat for a moment before closing the door.I forgot that I already had a driver's license.
Search "pawℝead.com" for the original.
I came to the driver's seat, opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, first awkwardly twisted my butt a few times, then pulled the seatbelt over, and then started the car with a serious face.
John sighed and shook his head, "I have never seen anyone so nervous when holding the steering wheel like you. I really want to know what you're afraid of?"
"John, I just got my driver's license."
"I drove before I got my license."
Ignoring John, Gao Guang slowly drove the car out of the parking lot. After a few impatient honks from the cars behind him, he insisted on driving at a speed he could accept.
John simply closed his eyes and said helplessly, "Dude, you have a driver's license now, drive faster, no one will die. This is my car, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"Safety first."
In ten days, Gao Guang went from someone who had never driven a car to getting a driver's license. He felt that it was better to drive slowly for his own safety and the safety of others.
A pickup truck quickly passed Gao Guang from his left side, and then the window was rolled down, and the angry driver yelled a few words at Gao Guang before accelerating away.
Gao Guang remained unmoved and continued to drive at a strict speed of 30 miles per hour.
30 miles per hour, which is nearly 50 kilometers per hour, Gao Guang felt it was very fast.
Gao Guang felt that everything was happening quickly in these ten days. He got his driver's license, bought a new phone, got a phone card, had a bank card, and there was still over 10,000 US dollars in his bank account. He also received vaccinations for malaria and yellow fever, and today he even got a concealed carry permit.
Overall, Gao Guang got more permits in these ten days than he did in the past ten years.
"After we come back from Colombia, you should buy a car quickly. I don't want you to drive my car again, let alone ride in your car."
John changed his posture and said with a helpless expression, "Riding in your car will make me lose ten years of my life. My patience has been worn out in your car. If your driving skills can improve as fast as others, I will be grateful."
This was mockery, but Gao Guang refused to pay attention to it.
After returning to the company with patience, John was like a bird freed from a cage, quickly returning to his own position and driving away in a hurry.
Gao Guang returned to his small office in the company, and then he was called into Frank's office when passing by.
"Where's John?"
"He ran away."
"What do you mean he ran away?"
Gao Guang shrugged and said, "Teaching me to drive was painful for him, so he ran away.""We're all ready. We're leaving for Colombia tomorrow. Do you have your personal belongings ready? Suitable clothes and shoes? We're going to the rainforest, and what you're wearing now is obviously not suitable."
"Uh... What clothes do I need to buy? Is it still possible to buy them now?"
Frank scratched his head, then picked up the phone on his desk. After a moment, he said on the phone, "John, come here."
After a few minutes, John came back dejectedly. Frank calmly said, "We're going to Colombia tomorrow morning. The plane tickets have been booked."
John's face lit up, and then he sighed, "Great, my nanny career can finally end."
"But Gao still doesn't have suitable clothes for the rainforest. Take him to buy some."
Joy froze on John's face, but he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take him. We're leaving tomorrow morning, right?"
"Yes, the plane is at 10:20 in the morning. First to Bogota, then to Medellin. Any other questions?"
"No problem, I'm just happy that I don't have to be a nanny anymore. Also, I'm excited!"
John seemed very excited. He looked down at Gao Guang and said, "Hurry up, don't dawdle. I'll be driving this time and let you experience what speed and excitement are."
There's nothing to say. The things that need to be bought must be prepared. But when Gao Guang followed John to leave the office, Frank leisurely said behind him, "Goodbye, Mr. Schmidt."
