So, I got my RPAL pretty quickly- just over 5 weeks and started to make a purchase on the EE board. Found something I liked and made a purchase. Seller initiated the transfer, I called in to confirm the transfer and the CFC asked me for what purpose I needed a restricted handgun? I replied- for target shooting. What club? I plan to join a club but I'm in the process of picking one. She said she couldn't complete the transfer until I've joined a club. She passed me to anther person to go over what options I had. She said if I'm a collector and I send in a form with a paragraph saying why I want to add this gun to my collection, she can approve the transfer. I know holding an RPAL licence and being labled a collector has it's drawbacks. She said this is not permanent and once I join a club I'll be listed as a target shooter.
I'd like to go this way as it looks to be the least amount of waiting time to get my new purchase in my hands. I just don't want to make a possibly irreversable decision.
Any advice or suggestions?

I'm in Southern Ontario, so not sure if it will work with me from what I've been reading on the forum.

From what I've read on these forums. You should not have to join a club in to get a restricted in Ontario. However your situation tells otherwise.

You could do a couple things here. Fight for it, or just join a club.

If you give us an idea what part of S. Ontario you are in, someone will more than likely chime in with a club recommendation.

Someone else will have to clarify the situation with the club requirement. I always thought that was the case until someone started a thread with conflicting info here: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=640769
 
"...the club requirement..." Ontario CPFO's(a McGuinty appointee) policy. Their rationale is that since you can't shoot a restricted firearm anywhere but on an approved range and ATT's must be sponsored by a club(a long standing policy in Ontario too), you have to belong to a club.
They've taken it one step farther by deciding you can't own a handgun for the stated purpose of target shooting unless you're a club member in good standing. They have mandated a club level safety course as well. None of this is anywhere in the FA.
The CPFO gets away with it because the Socialist F**ks gave the administration of the FA to the Provinces and McGuinty's gang are anti-firearm ownership.
"...Fight for it..." That'd cost you 5 to 6 figures in legal fees.
 
I'm in the west end of Toronto. Leaning towards Barrie Gun club as I head up that way occationally. Or Range Burlington.
It's just that they will not complete the transfer unless I get filed as a collector or join a club.
I've read up and understand the ATT issues and not belonging to a club... but let me get my babies home (mailed by Canada Post)!

I joined Silvercore just to get my guns home then decided on the actual club I wanted to join. It was very convenient, pretty sure it works in Ontairo, I would just call them, they were very helpful to me.
