What is required to purchase a firearm in DC?

A background check and a waiting period
A valid driver's license
A safety training course completion certificate
Both A and C are required

The correct answer is: Both A and C are required

To purchase a firearm in DC, both a background check and a safety training course completion certificate are required. A background check is necessary to ensure that the individual purchasing the firearm does not have any disqualifying criminal history or mental health issues. This is an important step in promoting public safety and preventing firearms from ending up in the wrong hands. Additionally, a safety training course completion certificate is required to ensure that the individual has received proper training on how to safely handle and use a firearm. This requirement helps promote responsible gun ownership and reduces the risk of accidents or misuse of firearms. Therefore, the correct answer is D because both a background check and a safety training course completion certificate are necessary to purchase a firearm in DC. Option B (A valid driver's license) is incorrect as a driver's license is not a requirement for purchasing a firearm in DC. Option C (A safety training course completion certificate) is also incorrect on its own as it is not the only requirement for purchasing a firearm in DC.
