    Question about buying a restricted in BC

    Would a membership at silver core be enough to get approved for an ATT for a restricted? Once approved that will allow me to take it to any gun range range in BC correct? Or do I need to get a membership at an actual range and only allowed to transport to that one specific range?

    Thanks

    As far as I know you need a range membership. That allows you to transport your restricted to any gun range in BCor Alberta and I think the territories. The ATT is now built into the RPAL. You can also take it to any licensed gunsmith.

    A membership at silvercore is enough to get an long term ATT, which will allow you to transport your restricted weapon to any approved range; depending on how you fill out your application. If you do go silvercore you need to pay the drop-in fee every time you go shooting. If you plan on shooting your restricted weapons lots I highly recommend spending a little more and getting a membership to a club with a range.

    Thanks for replies. I like going to different ranges as well as going into the bush when weather permits with my non restricted. On the fence about signing up at an actual range since I like he variety.

    Did that several years ago, got SilverCore late in the year to buy restricted, then joined POCO in Jan.
    Revolvers RULE; remember that next time you BEND over to pick up brass OR ejected brass pings off the precision gear.
    Looking for a car pool buddy for weekly weekday trips from Burnaby to POCO. Better yet I'll drive weekly and you take me hunting.

    +1, did the same till I got off my clubs waiting list. Being a Silvercore member will allow you get a ltatt and do drop ins at any club or range that allows non member visits.

    If you're buying non restricted no. If yore buying a handgun I think they can apply for a short term att (statt) which allows them to ship it to your door.
