I had my RPAL for a year or so and have been on a wait list with a few gun ranges. I live in downtown toronto wherein there is a shortage of nearby ranges accepting membership. Most ranges within 30-45 minutes drive have a long wait list with years of wait.
I was encouraged to hear about Bill C-42, which will put an end to LTATT for trips to gun ranges. Maybe its wishful thinking, but I'm hoping that walk-ins will be more common than memberships to ranges. I am not advocating anything, nor saying that membership is unjustified. I understand why there was a need for it given the requirements of the LTATT. I'm interested to find out what everyone else thinks and maybe some range owners/management can tell us what they plan to do once Bill C42 passes.
