My buddy I hunt with has not resticted's and they frowned on it, wanted him to downgrade. He just told them he might be wanting it for armored car work if he could find a job in that field. Worked ok. I can't see it fair to downgrade it without consent.
Has anyone been denied a restricted firearm transfer because NOT a gunclub member??

I have trouble understanding why people want a restricted and not belong to a club. You can't shoot it anywhere else.
My first few restricted purchases for the year require me to fax a copy of my membership card in. After that, no problem.
I do have a restricted transfer that I have to complete the info for. Haven't renewed my membership yet as I have no time to use it. Be interesting to see how it goes...........

Expect that to be the reason they slow down your transfer - call them and provide proof. They're playing all sorts of brainless games now, like not telling you what they want, until it's delayed the paperwork on your transfer by 2 or 3 weeks, then waiting for you to call to ask you for it.
I just figured there was no point paying 100$ to join a pistol club when I didnt own a pistol. Im already a member at my local shooting range where I shoot rifles and trap, but its a whole seperate club for pistols.
Im in the process of joining it, but I have to go through a probation period first, and I've already made a trade arrangement for my first pistol with another CGN'er.
I bet theyre gonna try and deny me the transfer, from what I hear about the ontario CFO
$100 to join a club?
DAMN, I'd LOVE to only have to pay $100.
The clubs closest to me average $600.
See if the club will give you a letter saying that you have applied. I've heard some instances where telling the CFO what club you are planning to join was good enough for them to approve the transfer.
False.
However, you must be a member of a club, or a collector, to purchase a new restricted firearm.
I pay $25 a year.
Yeah well It happened to me this year on renewal and another guy in this thread so it happens.....each provinces CFO is different. I told them I just had a kid and was going to take a year or 2 off. They said no way, you either shoot or collect, no other reason to own them. So I had to renew my membership.

Never been denied or called by the cfc about a purchase.
I can't find words to describe how I feel about this situation. Is this the next tactic in the Liberal social engineering fiasco to discourage us from owning handguns? If you have passed the RPAL exam what business is it of the government or CFO or anyone else whether you own a restricted class firearm or not? I have never heard of any stipulation stating that you must own one to maintain status. I've always understood that to be the case with prohibs, but not restricted class. Is it true that once you declare collector status you open yourself up to inspection of gun storage without warrant or cause?

Club membership for the year ~400.
Times gone shooting at the range for the year ~5
Drop in fee for non members at above club ~20
You still have a problem understanding ?
Keep us up to date on how it turns out.
Is this test available on the RCMP Firearms web site? I was told you have to indicate what gun's you intend to collect and must know everything about them and that the CFO will call you to speak about it.
In my area the local gun club costs 250.00 / yr + a one time exam fee of 200.00.
I don't have a lot of money so initially I would have to purchase the handgun first and join the club a year later. I would probably start with a 22 since ammo is cheap. But requiring someone to belong to a club fisrt is like saying because I am poor I can't purchase one.

Exactly. I resent having to pay an arbitrary 'lease' on tools I own. My closest range costs me about $450/year. There are cheaper ones further away, and 'associate memberships' available for about $100 (for which you get almost nothing), so at minimum it would cost $100/year for the privilege of owning my property. Do I target shoot? Yes, but irregularily. But maybe that's not enough for the CFO to allow me the privilege...
The collector option would be ok if they didn't put that pesky inspection clause in there. Sorry, but I don't need someone rummaging through my house looking for violations of vaguely written laws on any kind of regular basis, with or without my permission.
There is NO legal requirement for this anywhere in Canada . This is simply bureaucratic busy work, nothing more, nothing less. - dan
Not if you're in the GTA and the club is in Alberta, or BC or ...........

$150 for one of the gun range in BC.
That seems to be Ontario's problem....
Most other province have cheap memberships..

Obviously there are major discrepancies from CFO to CFO. In ON the club has to apply for the ATT. You have to own a pistol to get an ATT (unless someone at the same address owns the firearm). It is contradictory to require club membership before RPAL issue, but if that is what is happening it is another example of why the CFO authority has to be better regulated. As it is they are allowed to attach "reasonable" conditions, which often don't seeem reasonable to us. I have heard that people are asked what club they are going to join before transfer. I don't really agree with this, as they should be able to go to a commercial range that is not a club, but I don't object to this as much as refusal to issue the RPAL. The trouble with trying to standardize CFO operation is we have to be careful we don't end up with the most restrictive "reasonable conditions".
