Chose the wrong time to join.

Hi. I only recently signed myself up for a non-restricted course with plans on getting a PAL as soon as I can, and was planning on getting into shooting civilian side. I'm a current member of the CAF. I was thinking of grabbing an SKS or two, which has been a plan of mine for years now. Looks like I'm just going to have to cross my fingers and hope the new sales recording laws / gun ban is slow enough to materialize. Yikes.

Get it done.
You still have the waiting period to go but I doubt much will happen in the next 60 days.

Plus you want to beat c71 implementation....

I always recommend getting restricted at the same time.

Well, my course won't happen until May. Long backlog, apparently. So time is not on my side.

Definitely afraid of the semi-automatic ban to keep rifles out of the hands of the back-country peasants. I'm a big city boy myself, used to be afraid of guns like any latte-slurper of my particular extraction, looked down on the hicks, and never even touched a firearm until I was handed a C-7 rifle. Lost my irrational fear pretty quick. When the only weapons you've ever fired are capable of automatic and have 30 round mags (or more, for the C9), the whole thing just seems stupid to me.

Would suck big time to finally grab a cheap SKS, get a range membership, and *bang*, have the RCMP busting down my door the next week.

That would be fine and dandy, until I have to move provinces by plane. Hard to lug along a rifle if that happens.

Anyway, worst comes to worst, I'll guess I'll settle for a bolt action, and wait for a repeal of the laws.

If you're waiting for your PAL there is nothing stopping a friend from buying an SKS or two and selling them to you when your PAL is in hand. Welcome aboard.

How many excuses do you need to come up with not to buy an SKS or six?

Not in my neck of the woods- I'm from the Starbucks demographic, sadly. Imagine the most anti-gun demographic in Canada, and you have an idea of my background and general surroundings.
