New membership offerings as of June 1st, 2011

[TSE JR]

With the introduction of a new "point of sale" that can actually properly track these things, we have decided it's time to change up our membership packages.

It's always been my personal belief that its better to lead than follow...

I think the family memberships will be popular!

The real question to be asked is; will the CFO in Ontario issue an LTATT to someone in Ontario with a membership at a range in Alberta.

In practice the answer should be "yes", but given that the CFO in Ontario curently requires a person to be "signed off" by the club and have the equivilent of the CSSA "club level safety course" before issuing the LTATT, I do not think our membership would fly...

But that's just me.

JR, there is another snag to your associate membership.

Apparently, one has to apply in person for your associate membership. That presents an additional cost to out-of-towners that pretty much eliminates the value of this category for us.

You could sell me a firearm over the phone, but not a membership?

For out-of towners we could look into something. However, why we sell them currently "in person” only is that to ensure we provide the most safe facility around, all members (regular and associate) must read and sign our waiver AND a facility policy and procedure acknowledgment form.

In the past, we had some minor issues with some licensed shooters that needed a reminder of the basic safety rules and range etiquette that most of us take for granted.

By expecting everyone to read and acknowledge these basic points, we have found our facility to be more efficient and relatively “drama” free.

Yes we can sell you a gun over the phone, but the CFO verifies who you are and what your address is.

Drop me a line if you want to discuss this as I am not unreasonable.

Maybe I was unclear. Could target sports not offer this exact same thing but for their range in Ontario? It would be proof of membership for a range in Ontario.

The short answer is no.

The long answer is: Potentially...

In Ontario, the CFO requires not only membership, but proof of competency.

An associate membership in Ontario would do you no good unless you also took the CSSA club level safety course and were signed off.

The paper burden for this in ontario would make it impractical.
