I'm no expert at this as I'm going thru this now myself, but here is what I've gathered.
Unfortunately, the CFO has endeavoured to confuse license holders. Even though it says that, there are no conditions actually attached to your license before your first R purchase. I know the card says so but........
When you buy your first R, they attach the conditions to your license in the system, then print your new card with the actual conditions printed on it.
Why this long winded way? Not sure. They could ask you at the time of your RPAL application for the purpose of your guns and add the conditions right there and then. But allas we deal with the gubberment.
Again, I'm no expert. See the link I provided in post #7
