Requisitos de prueba para pistolas en California

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que para que una pistola se venda en California, debe pasar una prueba donde se dispara un número específico de balas. Si la pistola no falla en esos disparos, puede ser vendida legalmente.

Es como si un coche nuevo tuviera que pasar una prueba de manejo para asegurarse de que funciona bien antes de que puedas comprarlo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan quiere vender pistolas en su tienda. Antes de hacerlo, debe enviar tres pistolas a un laboratorio que las prueba disparando muchas balas. Si todas funcionan sin problemas, entonces puede venderlas.
