Beside's the Canadian Restricted firearms saftey course, what do Quebecers need to be able to own a restricted firearm? Is it true in quebec you must be part of a gun club to own a restricted firearm? Is there no way around that? What if you are part of a club for several years and decide to not join the for 2 years strait... do you have to sell your firearms? Do you lose your privileges to own a restricted firearm?
Quebecer's with restricted license

I have been told at my course for non-restricted that you don't need to be a member to have one, if they ask where you will shoot, you can say "I'm looking to join ###X club". But you need to be a member to get an ATT to go to the club.
I could be wrong but I know you can keep the gun even if you aren't a member of a club for some years.

In theory this is the federal law. BUT, it is written somewhere in the law that the CFO can make any verification that he feel adequate to approve applications. In quebec the chief firearms officer and most bureaucrats are anti-gun... They are doing everything they can to discourage firearms ownership.
So when you apply for your PAL renewal, you have to send at the same time a proof of club membership. Otherwise they wont send you your new PAL and eventually police will come to seize your firearms. This is the "USE IT OR LOOSE IT" They dont give a damm that you have legally acquired your pistol, that you have lost your job this year, that you have moved somewhere where there is no shooting range...
They work hard also at closing shooting range and kill the sport. We have the most restrictive rules here. Quebec is the only province with the NO SKY POLICY (that killed IPSC) Any quebecer that want to practice correctly this discipline have to go outside the province. Major events are always being held outside the province. Here they issue ATT no longer that your membership will last , (i know some provinces issue they for a 5 years period)
I have just mentionned a few things, i am sure others can fill some more.
In my opinion the CFO have way too much power.
