EE Restricted purchase transfer w/o club membership

[contaucreek]

Currently have restricted but am not associated with a range at the moment. Is there choppy waters ahead or smooth sailing if I want to make an EE purchase?. Im in Ontario.

Just give a name of a club you "intend" to join, that worked for me back in the day, times may have changed.

Keep in mind though, you can only take the gun home, cant use it anywhere until you join a club and get a LTATT

that's what I did... had 3 pistols before I was a member anywhere.

They will most likely want to see a copy of your memebership card, I just did a transfer to my brother whose new Into shooting and he told them what club he belonged to but wouldn't approve the transfer until they had a copy of the membership card

I was wondering about this very situation and how it would be handled in AB.

I was trying to coax my brother into the HG fraternity by giving him a 22lr revolver that I wasn't using anymore. He has a restricted endorsement, but his reluctance to get a range membership killed the endeavour. Sounds like the transfer wouldn't have gone through in the first place.

Recently in Manitoba, I was denied for not having a valid membership anywhere. YMMV

I had a transfer held up some years back due to the AB CFO not having a current copy of my range membership (actually they couldn't find one period, and I know they had one at some point in time).

They claimed that they had been trying to contact me, but I have my doubts about that story.

When I bought my first handgun back in December I had to have a valid membership before I could get the transfer done.

The CFP call centre routinely asks me if it is for target shooting and when I say yes asks what club I belong to when I call in to confirm a transfer.

Yup, we have noticed your recent spending spree Does the CFP know you by phone number and name these days?

Nice snag with the Webley 22LR BTB. I'm jealous.

i joined the silvercore "club" for 35 bucks for the year just so i had a membership #.

I didnt have a membership for over, had no problems. But did explain that I used them for IPSC.

In Ontario, post Sept. 2, I bought 3 hand guns the new ATT conditions were added to my licence and all three were transferred to me without any club membership. I have since taken them to a couple of ranges and shot them. No membership. I did have to take a club level ATT course to appease the ranges before they'd let me bring restricted weapons in though.

I bought my first restricted last year. Said target shooting as the reason when asked and yes was a member of a club. No proof was asked for on my part by the Ontario CFO office and they didn't call anyone to verify my membership. They gave me the registration number after the transaction as proof of ownership and just had to wait for it to show up at the post office. Quick call and had the ATT to take it home. Paper copy of the ownership showed up a week later after I had it home.

In BC I had a sale that dragged on for months and could not send the pistol until the new owner joined a acceptable club.

In Ontario you don't have to belong to a club in order to buy and possess restricted firearms. (Not yet anyway)

i had 2 handguns before i was a member at a club. shouldn't be a problem.
