I am looking into getting my rpal and was wondering if I have to be a member of a gun club to acquire a restricted firearm? I was making an account on wanstalls and noticed there was a spot for gun club if you are going to be getting a restricted firearm.

Thanks for your help in advance
 
You don't need to belong to a club or range to get your license or buy one but most CFOs require membership to transport. This will be changing soon with new coming legislation that will allow transport as a condition of the license

RCMP asked me today when i called to complete a transfer (me as buyer), what club i belonged to. of course i told them, but now im curious if they would have completed the transfer had i said none.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but club membership is required for a ltatt but not to buy or transfer ownership, or get a statt to take possession and bring home. It might differ from CFO to CFO depending on your province but that would be plain stupid and we all know canadian firearm laws are common sense based...

I actually took possession of my first handgun without being a member to a club ---- the transfer was approved and the handgun appeared in the mail. You are correct, sir!
 
If you are in BC, get a membership from Silvercore. It is like a moblie membership and is recognized here as a club membership and allows transport of your restricteds to approved ranges. The only thing is you do have to pay range or guest fees to whatever range you visit in BC. As far as our assinine rules go, getting a range membership in whatever province you're in just saves a lot of headaches for getting LTATTs and transfers. At least until, hopefully, our new laws take effect ( IF they take effect!!)

Here is a very good video I watched just last night about the subject matter. It's about 15mins long, but worth the watch.

Interesting watch. Just received my PAL and RPAL. Crazy that any one of us owners can goto jail for forgetting 1 page of the document.

Does anyone know if a photocopied ATT is legitimate? Meaning I would just photocopy 10 copies (and carry three) so I never have to think about misplacing or forgetting a page.

I had mine emailed to me, i have a copy saved on my phone and tossed a printed copy in the pistol box.
 
There's no law that says it, but CPFO policy has nothing to do with the law. Hopefully, the "new" law addressing CPFO's overstepping their authority will end it.
Like danoiwan says, tell 'em what club you're joining.
 
So I just purchased a restricted firearm and will pickup in store. What do I need to transport it home from the store? LTATT or STATT or both?

You just need the STATT. Be sure you have a locking mechanism along with a lockable case etc.

Thanks!

One more quick question. I have a second firearm being mailed to me. I will not be home to receive the package and will have to pickup from the post office. Is it true I need to contact the CFO for a STATT to transport it from post office to my home?

I know if you are mailing your firearm at your local Canada Post office, you do need one.

I've never had to go pickup a firearm, but since you need an ATT transporting restricteds anywhere, it would be safe to assume that you should get one.
