I just want to shoot, that’s all!!

Al right, I can’t get the info at the CFC so what better place than here? I have been a good boy, I have my restricted pal and I want to get into handgun shooting. I’ve been looking at some nice 686’s and finally found one that might interest me. How do I go about acquiring it??? ATT? Temporary ATT? I need to show proof of a club membership at the time of transfer? I have to prove membership within three months of purchase? I should get a collector license, it is less trouble and I don’t have to have a membership? I am confused!!! Please help me sort out this madness.

Thanks,

Alex
 
Join a pistol club, you'll need to prove it to your CFO when you register your pistol. You'll then get an ATT in the mail, it should allow you to transport your pistol to any approved range in your province and well as take it for repairs etc.

Its a ##### and costs a bit extra $$$ but it is better than collector status as you can never shoot your pistol as a collector.

1. Join Club
2. Buy 686
3. Get Temp ATT from Store to your home (when approved)
4. Anytime you want to go shooting, get a temp att from your home to the range and back.
5. In the meantime apply for your long-term att so that you don't need to do step 4 each time :)

Enjoy!
 
I agree with G37 with one minor change ( In Ontario anyway ).

Step 5. The club will apply for your long term ATT for you. Not yourself.
In Ontario our " Wonderful " CFO will not issue an individual a long term ATT unless it goes through the club.

Also I agree about not being classed as a collector. Buy the gun for target practice.

Location: The Van

Assuming this means Vancouver, the Ontario info is irrelevant! ;)
 
To BDG

If the Ontario info is irrelevant in Vancouver, then I want to move.

The CFO in Ontario controls such much & is trying to control & harass us more & more.
My Cousin lives in North Van & a very close friend lives in Victoria. I have been out there a few times & love it.
 
Welcome to the wonderful world of Canadian hand gun politics. If you just want to shoot, get a pellet gun.

In Alberta at least, the process is simple. Choose a gun, pay for gun. Wait for the transfer to go through (handled by the store), call the CFC 5 days after the purchase with the transfer number and wait on hold for 45 minutes listening to the cheesiest Christmas music you've ever heard. When you get to talk to somebody give them said transfer number and ask to "complete the transfer". Hang up phone. The CFC will fax all required paperwork, including temp ATT to get it back to your house to the store. Drive to store, wait in line for 30 minutes while the one guy behind the counter helps the other 4 doorknobs in front of you choose what type of rifle is best for them (this includes looking at at least 8 different rifles, maybe a scope and some very long chit-chat about what the guy working at the store has used this gun for, including some hunting trip in 1854 that his great-great grandfather was on.) When you get to the front of the line, say "My name is X X X and I want my gun". He than goes and fiddle's around with a stack of paper from the fax machine looking for your ATT and registration, comes back out after 20 minutes and gives you some excuse about toner levels and how he hates technology, but with your paper's in hand. He gives you the paper work, gun and tries to get you to buy $2500 worth of "boxer primed, THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF" ammo on your way out the door.

You take gun back to your house and put it in your safe, where it stays until you apply for a Permanent ATT because you probably don't own a fax machine to apply for temp ATT's.

And thats it!
 
In BC you apply for your own ATT, the club does not do it for you, you must still be a member of a club though and fax your card over. The provincial CFO still does the issuing of the permit.
 
If you are in BC you will need to hold a club membership, you will then need to fill out the LTATT form and send that in with a copy of your club membership.

I don't think you will be able to register the handgun without a LTATT, I know I wasn't. Not sure about short term ATT's. Use this link to fill out your LTATT, it makes it much less restrictive.

Makes me glad I live in Tucson
1. go to store
2.pick out gun
3. fill out paperwork (are you a drug addict, have you ever renounced your citizenship, have you been convicted of a crime, etc. etc.
4. give clerk drivers licence, clerk calls cops, no criminal record.
5. pay for gun , take it home.
If you have a CCW, omit step 4.

Have I helped you before?

One last thing, be civil to the folks on the other end of the line. They don't need to hear us ##### and moan and we sure don't need them pissed at us.

FYI, I'm in Ontario and when I joined my club, I thought the same thing. Turns out that's not always the case. I actually had to fill out and submit the form on my own. The Ontario CFO then called me up and asked for a fax of my membership card, which I provided. I had my ATT in a week flat.

HAHA! No probably not. The guys I generally deal with don't know the difference between .357 SIG and .357 Magnum.

I'm always civil, even if I'm cursing words like a sailer in my head.
