Do I need to get a approval or call some department every time I bring a pistol to the range?

I totally forget about this part which I did learn on the fire arm class....
 
You need an Authorization To Transport. ATT. Generally shooters have one that is valid for several years. You will need club involvement to get a Long Term ATT.
 
You need to join a club then call the CFO yourself and get a Long term ATT in BC the club does not get it for you

Nope, you need a long term ATT which your club gets for you. You only need to call in for a short term ATT when you are taking it anywhere else.

Only in Retard-ario... he's in BC, which means the Club can kiss his rosy behind - he gets his OWN ATT, and the club doesn't get to gestapo him up for it.

Just another reason owning guns in Onterrible is... well... terrible.

Duke:

1 - Join a club. Your local Fish and Game (or similar) association probably has a range.

2 - Call the CFO's office. Look it up, or 1-800-731-4000 and ask them to redirect you. Obviously looking it up yourself is faster.

3 - CFO will ask for proof of range membership. Fax/scan-email/mail them proof. In Alberta, faxing my membership card's front side is enough - and they have started taking emailed images too, for speed's sake.

4 - Ask for a LONG TERM ATT. This is important. One LTATT will allow you to go to the places listed (usually 'all gunsmiths, shooting ranges and border crossings within the Province of ______.') for its term. Typically, mine here in Alberta are issued for the duration of my license period - i.e. until my card's renewal date.

5 - They will fax, mail, or email it to you. Make copies of the document and stuff 'em in all your restricted gun cases - so you won't forget the document. I keep my LTATT folded into my wallet, in addition to having a copy in the liners of my cases.

Voilà!

You need a valid ATT.

Target Shooters

Fact Sheet

This fact sheet explains how the Firearms Act applies to you if you wish to use a firearm for target shooting.

As set out in the Shooting Club and Shooting Ranges Regulations, a “shooting range” means a place that is designed or intended for the safe discharge, on a regular and structured basis, of firearms for the purpose of target practice or target shooting competitions. All shooting ranges operate under the approval of the Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) of the province or territory in which they are located, unless:

1. They are on the premises of a licensed firearms business and are used only by licensed owners and employees of that business; or
2. They are only used by public officers, such as police officers, in relation to their lawful employment duties.

To find out if a club or range that you want to join has been approved by the province’s CFO, please call 1-800-731-4000.

For the safety of all participants, please follow all transportation and handling regulations.

Authorizations to Transport Restricted Firearms and Prohibited Handguns

You need an Authorization to Transport (ATT), issued by a CFO in order to transport a restricted or prohibited firearm to or from anywhere in Canada. It is only valid for the specific locations indicated on it. A separate ATT will be required for additional locations.

For Target Practice…

An ATT can be issued for a term of:

1. up to five years; or
2. up to the expiry date of your firearms licence; or
3. up to the expiry of your shooting club membership …whichever comes first.

A “long-term” ATT is issued for a period of up to five years and is intended to cover multiple trips for the same purpose. Example: transport to/from a shooting club/range for target practice. In this case, complete form CAFC 679 and submit it to the office of the applicable CFO. A copy of your valid shooting club membership card must be provided as well.

Thanks !

I just get to the Wholesale sports, where they are helping register us to the "fishing and game club"
$80 for a year membership and$15 for a range pass.

then the guy told me if I buy a hand gun there they will help me get the "short term" transform permit which allow me tranfer the gun to home, and a " long term" transfer form permit which allow me to the range.
