Turns out I cant purchase a firearm online without the card since I require the expiry date... so I will have to wait. also I suppose you should not be in possession of a firearm without that card on you. I was just hoping to get the gun for when my license arrives so I can get out right away. oh well!

I bought a restricted handgun without my license. I told the store that the application's in the works and that I'm waiting for them to process it. I paid for everything and only took the receipt out of the store. It's waiting for me there.


Also, just checked my application online and it's processing now. I've called, everything is confirmed. I'm debating on calling again today to ask if I can do my interview now and then I'll get my references to call in next week when they get back from their trip.

Anyone have any recent experience with QC CFO? My application was received 7/17 and last week it showed up online. Called RCMP and was told its been sent to QC CFO for approval and was told they won't do any interview. Called QC CFO and asked for status. They said it was proceeding as normal. Then I asked if I could get interview over with and was told no I have to wait until they call. Said maybe 4 weeks. Should I just wait or are they bsing me and should have let me do the interview when I asked? Today's 36 days which isn't too bad but another 4 weeks will put it in the 60-70 day range..

Do youself a favor and try a bunch with the help of others.. find what is right for you before buying it.

I've been trying a few out already and I really like the way a Glock feels and also the Savage 110ba in .338 and and the 10ba feel as well as an AR-15

Try as many as you can 1st assuming u can get access and have the patience.

I am ok w/the glock for example (depending on generation blah blah).. but my fav is still my PT92. However it's grip is for example a little on the large side for my wife's hands.

Best even w/o always firing test as much as you can.

(I was lucky.. I've used far more than I can remember over the years)
