    Not renewing range membership, what happens?

    Let's say I am a member at a range but for some reason I cannot rejoin any range the following year due to money. What happens? Am I then classified as a collector?

    Nothing will happen.

    If you want to purchase more restricted firearms they may ask for proof of membership somewhere.

    Some clubs offer affiliation only membership which covers you for your LTATT.

    The approved shooting club is required to advise the CFO of any membership changes, so they will inform the CFO.

    Your firearms officer might become concerned.

    Am I then classified as a collector?
    No.

    The CFO is obliged to evaluate whether or not the firearms are being used for the stated purpose. If the CFO determines that the firearms are not being used for the stated purpose, the CFO can advise the registrar, and the registrar can revoke the registration. Following that, you could be expected to be contacted by your local police agency.

    The simplest, surest course is to maintain an unexpired firearms license and an uninterrupted membership in one or more approved shooting clubs. If you do that, no one with have any cause for concern.

    I didn't get a membership last year. Had one the year before and again this year. Absolutely nothing changed. No phone calls or anything. Wasn't even asked for proof of membership with my last R purchase a month ago. (The one they have on file expired Jan.2016)

    I guess it depends on which province you are in and how strict the CFO is.

    There is no law that says you MUST belong to a range. The CFO think that that is the only way to prove you are a target shooter.
    It may just mean that if you buy a new restricted you have to get one.

    Having a membership removes any doubt from the CFO and not having one may, I say may draw some questions and restrictions from the CFO.

    It's not CFO, it's people at Miramichi CFC who ask the questions about the club and intended use during the transfer.

    CFO asks about club membership only when ATT is issued, and that requirement is BC specific, it is not a requirement under the Act.
