How much does classification affect your choices?

The way I understand the current law is if any current gun becomes prohib they are going to take it away and may offer compensation (not likely). There is no longer any means to get a prohib licence under the law unless granfathered.
 
I don't like the restrictions of restricted class, give me a ATT for somewhere other than a range there is no law agianst it. But I am working on getting my rpal and a pistol just to increase the numbers.
 
I have had my restricted since I turned 18 when you could get your restricted at the same time you get your PAL. Over the last bunch of years I have only brought the resticted out a couple of times. I this time I have stopped buying more restricteds for the fact that shooting on private land is just so much more enjoyable than a range. In my opinion.
 
Don't hunt anymore and shoot exclusively at the range. Every single one of my rifles are restricted. I do have some NR shotguns, but am even in the process of having one re classified as restricted (because of length) to shoot at the action range with the pistol grip on just for giggles
 
When I challenged my pal I opted out of the rpal test for the simple reason of "not wanting to be in the system."

After seeing what happened in High River I realize that doesn't matter anyways, I am part of the system. I would LOVE to own some restricted firearms, but the amount of bs a guy has to go through in order to go there didnt seem like it was worth it.

My town is currently building a very nice range facility, and now that I will be able to have access to a range in 5 minutes I will change my stance.

I also realize that we DO have power in numbers, and even though I don't own restricted firearms currently I would certainly be upset if others lost the ability to own them because they make up "a minority of firearm owners" in Canada. I decided to sign up for a rpal test, without any immediate plans to purchase a restricted firearm for the simple reason of adding my name to the list of Canadians who just so happen to enjoy a segment of the sport I'm currently not part of.

Like some others have said, if you prove to be safe and competent with firearms, who cares what kind of firearm it is? Really wish we could do away with classification laws but either way I will get my rpal.

I will say one thing, I was NEVER this interested in politics until I joined CGN.
 
not to hijack the thread but I have a question about buying a restricted now. I have an att that is good for another year and I was to purchase an AR. Thing is I never renewed the club membership after year 1. Do I need to renew at Silvercore before I attempt to buy one or am I gtg? thanks.

Well legally yes you need to have an active range membership to the same one outlined on your att. So you should renew your membership to silvercore, or if you renew somewhere else i think you would need to call the cfo and fax them in your new range membership.
 
Manitoba has a couple of really nice bush ranges i prefer the freedom of none restricted. my brother was hunting deer with his tacticool sks this year. for these reasons I lean toward none restricted
 
It makes a huge difference for me, preferring as close to equivalent non-restricted. I belong/ed to a range / clubs / sports, but it's a lot of additional cost and legal and political hassle - for no good reason. I like both, own both and get what I want / need for my usage - but I'm always excited for that to be non restricted.
 
I don't buy restricted because I have to use them at the range. I don't buy restricted because I can't hunt with them. I only buy non restricted because I can hunt with them. I only buy non restricted because I shoot on private / crown land.
