Buying a rifle is easy, if you are a US citizen or permanent resident. Just go along to your local gun store and buy what you want, there's a ten day wait but there's no test or anything. For pistols you have to take a handgun safety test and obtain your certificate, but it's very easy, the main purpose of these tests is just to make it take longer and cost more, they don't really do anything to discourage criminals or enhance safety.
Next you need to take 'hunter's ed' which is a whole, long, day course or a two day course with a test at the end. Best to read the booklet first so you are familiar with the material. At my local club they run the course on the first Saturday of every month and it goes from something like 6:30am to 6pm.
Next go find a pig and shoot it, California hunts more pigs than deer.

You will need to take a hunter safety course in order to get a license. There is a 10 day waiting period topurchase a gun. The hardest part is finding land to hunt pig, most good areas are private and cost a furtune.
Good luck.

Hunting license is easy most grocery stores and drug stores have licenses for sale along with fishing licenses. Very difficult to buy a gun in CA you need to first find a store that carries them and then fill out a few forms then you have to wait like 30 days if you get the okay then you can buy the gun. Bullets have to purchased separately on another day. Never can be bought together.

Pig hunting? You know you can buy ham, pork chops, bacon, etc. in the supermarket, right? See, they have these farms where they raise pigs for food...then they kill them and ship the meat to the markets. So you don't have to kill anything yourself! Isn't that convenient?
