I have read in this forum and have heard from others that it is possible to be denied a restricted firearm tansfer if you are NOT a member of a gun club.... my question is this: has ANYONE actually been denied a transfer from the CFO after claiming they were buying the restricted firearm for target practice and DID NOT have a membership at a gun club??

Personally, the last 2 of my pistols were purchased for "target practice" while I was not a member at a gun club.

I am really interested to see if anyone has been denied a transfer of ownership while not a member of a club.
 
I believe the club requirement has more to do with obtaining a LTATT and not the transfer. When transfering, I have never been required to prove club membership for myself as either the seller or buyer.

I have been asked which club I belong to every time I phone in to complete a transfer,I am a member of a club so no problem...don't know what would happen if I wasn't.
 
In NS I was asked to prove and did but my ATT was refused because my active membership was set to expire in less than 30 days. My club is not what you would call super efficient in renewals so my restricted could have conceivably sat at the store for several weeks while I waited for my new card. Instead, I had my club fax a letter of good standing to CFO and then all was well. I think it was two months later I got my new membership cards. My license permits me to purchase, just not bring it home. What nonsense.

f:P:2:
 
A buddy of mine had his PAL renewal denied because he owned restricteds and wasn't currently a member of a club. He joined a club and they gave it to him right away.
 
In Alberta the CFO will not approve your first restricted transfer until you provide proof of range membership. Once that was established I have never had them ask for proof since, even though it has been several years since I provided that first range card info.

Recently I've been hearing about CFO's refusing RPAL renewals if the holder doesn't own any restricteds.

One case the CFO arbitrarily downgraded a RPAL to a PAL. The person didn't notice until he went to buy a revolver and realized his licence just had non restricteds.

When the people affected called to see WTF was going on, they were told they had no restricteds registered to them, so they no longer need an RPAL.
 
this is the purpose of having the "collectors status". The CFO will send you a test in order to prove your knowledge of firearms... history, types of cartridges etc.., its really not that difficult. Once completed, you'll be given collectors status which will be linked to your RPAL number. This will exempt you from needing a club membership and provide you with a purpose for ownership. Your local Police Firearms Officer can provide this test for you or you can contact the CFO directly. Its handy to have.
