    Storing Restricted at range

    So my spouse would prefer if I kept my guns at the range and I am cool with that. I contacted the CFO and got all the documents sorted. Does anyone find it weird that right now I store them at home and can take them to any approved range in the province without any STATT and once they are stored at my range I still have this option, even the ability to spend say the weekend in Edmonton with my rifle going to an approved range and storing wherever I am staying without permission. But I need to request a STATT to bring my guns home for cleaning. Seems really odd to me.

    I would never think of storing my firearms anywhere other than my house, but I guess it's your choice.

    In that case, the registered location of storage is the range.

    Your home does not fit into one of the designated "allowed" destinations that are issued with your RPAL.. (as in, a range, shop, repair, border, show)... hence the need for a STATT.

    Also.. you say "rifle".. assuming it's a restricted rifle, as NR does not need an ATT.

    Id keep the guns at my home and store the spouse at the range...

    Does the range have insurance to cover your stuff? If it goes missing will they be replacing it?

    Store the spouse somewhere else is the solution I would be comfortable with.

    I would never think of storing even my most hated firearm at my range, restricted or not. There's no where to tear it down and clean them, working on them at the range would be a PITA, not to mention my work area at home is extremely comfortable and the most convenient place to do both. It's also considerably more secure, climate controlled, there's no concern of bumbling fools knocking my guns over or bumping into it etc.

    It's extremely counterintuitive to store them outside of your control, so yes, it's very strange that you have to apply for an STATT to clean them.

    The gun community needs less ppl like you an even less than your baby sitter.
    :D STUPID is supposed to be fatal, but we spend countless resources to protect IDIOTS from being the cause of their own demise. Occasionally a ray of sunshine comes through an STUPID manages to do the job it was intended to do.
