Restricted Firearms
<http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/restr-eng.htm>
To be authorized to have restricted firearms for target shooting purposes, you must provide proof that you practice or compete at an approved shooting club or range.

To be authorized to have restricted firearms as part of a collection, you must:
* Know the historical, technical or scientific features of such firearms in your collection
* Consent to occasional inspections of the place where your collection is stored
* Comply with regulations dealing with safe storage, record-keeping and other matters related to restricted firearms

In limited circumstances, an individual may be authorized to possess and/or acquire a restricted firearm for employment purposes or for protection of a life.

Target Shooters
<http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/target_cible-eng.htm>
On renewal of a firearms licence (every five years as required by law) and in accordance with Section 67(2) of the Firearms Act, a CFO is required to review and confirm the purpose for which an individual possesses restricted/prohibited firearms.

Allowable purposes for possession, under Section 28(b) of the Firearms Act, include: a) target practice or target shooting competition; or b) to form part of a firearms collection. As part of the confirmation of purpose, the CFO “…shall decide whether any of those firearms or handguns that the individual possesses are being used for…” target practice/competition or collection.

Further, the CFO has the authority under Section 15(1) of the Shooting Clubs and Shooting Ranges Regulations to request written confirmation from a shooting club/range of “…the participation, if any, of a current or past member…of the shooting club…in target practice or target shooting competitions within the previous five years… .” What this means is that an individual must demonstrate to the CFO that they possess the firearm for the purpose they indicated when the firearm was acquired. The CFO is able to confirm the purpose by looking at an individual’s history of ATT issuance over the term of their licence (for target practice) and by reviewing the records kept by a club/range.

If the CFO determines that the restricted/prohibited firearm is not being used for the purpose stated by the individual, the CFO can recommend to the Canadian Firearms Program that the registration certificate for the firearm be revoked. If revoked, the individual would be required to dispose of the firearm (transfer of registration, turn-in to police for destruction).

Firearm Collectors

To be able to possess or acquire a restricted firearm or prohibited handgun for collection purposes, you need to know the historical, scientific or technical features of the firearm. The Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) of your province is responsible for deciding whether you are eligible to have the firearm for a collection when you apply to register it.
