OK, I tried a search and didn't find an answer to this one so here it goes.
I have my PAL and am a member of the local club, but I haven't owned handguns in close to 20 years. I am going to upgrade to my RPAL, and my searching here tells me the upgrade shouldn't take too long to process (maybe a month or so). I understand I will need to pass some kind of test at my local club top get a transport permit (correct ?) but my question is... once I get my RPAL, am I licensed to purchase a pistol and have it here at home? I'm anxious to get started.
