More relevant question...has anyone ever been asked to produce one? Apart from a couple of border crossings, I have never been asked for one of my certificates...spanning all the way back to the LGR. Travelling literally thousands of times and thousands of km’s to and from ranges and matches across the country, never has any authority demanded I produce a reg cert.
And given the fact, in the extremely unlikely event I were asked to produce one I had not yet received from the CFC, I have 14 days to do so, what are the odds of actually not being able to comply? I bet my calculator doesn’t have enough zeros to calculate those odds, yet some folks get so twisted up and invest so much of their ego on imprinting their fears onto everyone else...
All I can do is shake my head...YMMV
