Bought my first (second) handgun today

It should not take you a year or more to get all of your paperwork to go the club to shoot at all. I am in Ontario and had my paperwork and courses all done within 3 months. That even included joining my club and taking our own special handgun courses. All licences from the RCMP and so forth as they are fairly quick as well.
 
I'm waiting for my club ATT. I took the RPAL course 13 months ago. That's how long it takes in this part of Ontario.
 
Awesome choice! I did almost the same thing. My first handgun was a glock 22 gen4. It has ran absolutely awesome without any stoppages. I also recently got a 9mm lone wolf conversion barrel for it and have shot 350 rounds of 9mm without any problems.
 
Ontario IS weird. And McSquinty isn't helping anything. "People don't hunt with handguns."

I too had to do the 3 probation shoots before my club will issue me an ATT. That's done now... just have to choose one! Club secretary says 2-4 days for an ATT, and that's fast around here.
 
You Easterners have to do "probationary shoots" before a club will let you become a member?

LOLOLOLOLOL

I walked into my club, gave them $50, they gave me a card and said "bay one is closed for cleaning, but you have the pick of stalls in bay two".

Good grief I hate Eastern Canada and what you people have become. :mad:

No, it won't take that long, I know. The club wants me to shoot 3 times with club-members and do the safety course, then they will apply for my ATT. Very first thing to do is to go and buy a gun - although I won't shoot it until I have that ATT. I will shoot the guns of the members inviting me.....

Somehow wieird, no ATT- no gun in the club, but I need to shoot first to get the ATT. What was first, the chicken or the egg? :)

Can't you shoot an NR?
 
In BC no long term ATT means you can't get a restricted transferred to you, in Ontario you have to have a restricted (and jump through this BS "safety course" and "probationary shoot" hoop) to get an ATT. I half expect the dimwitts in Quebec to combine the two and say you can't get a gun without the permit AND you can't get the permit without the gun.
 
I can't believe what eastern Canada goes through... When I received my RPAL in the mail I purchased a G17 the very next day, waited 30 minutes for the transfer and ATT to be processed and was at the range within an hour. I literally walked into a store last week, traded one of my pistols for another and was gone with gun in hand off to the range in 32 minutes. Same thing with my club membership, I purchased a membership, paid an extra 5$ for pistol membership and had a key and certificate in 10 minutes. Why are the eastern provinces so much different than here out west?
