In BC it doesn't matter when your membership expires, they go by when your PAL expires. For some reason, the last time my PAL was renewed, they only gave me a LTATT good for 4 years, so I had to renew it this spring. I renewed in person at a gun show, and the lady that did it gave my wife a five year and me a one year, then told me when I renew my PAL, to make sure to ask for a five year LTATT.I believe the ATT's maximum validity period is until the expiration date of your RPAL (5 years) or your club membership, whichever comes first.
Say you owned the shooting club, or paid for >5 years, the ATT would still need to be renewed when your RPAL expires.
And we are all so much safer because of it. It would almost be comical if it weren't so pathetic.Well, a good step would be to visit the CFO in their office on Jasper Avenue. It's in the Associated Engineering building, floor 7, unit seven. Should be directly in front of you if you turn left while leaving the elevator.
You could ask them for a permanent ATT, and then when they deny you, request the refusal in writing. Take that refusal to a judge and I believe you may be able to do a section 74 judicial review.
If you've got lots of time, lots of money, and lots of charisma and/or preparation you may be able to pull it off.
Or, find out who the CFO is, become their lover, and sweettalk them into authorizing it.
Most likely, their refusal will include the justification that it can only last as long as your PAl does, because even if you did have a lifetime ATT, you wouldn't be allowed to possess the guns you'd need it to transport if your PAL expires.
not sure about the rest of ontario but at my club they apply for your new att when you pay your next years dues. no pay, no att, only valid for 1 year.
In Alberta a person handles their own ATTs.
Sorry, I meant long term authorization to transport.
