Rooki, you'll find some of the most experienced shooters in Canada on this board. Going off like that is a quick way to the ban hammer.
In simple terms, Silverdale (and many clubs) will allow you to bring your own Non-Restricted & Restricted firearms to their facility and allow you to purchase a day-pass. You must show them your ATT for your restricted firearms. The only way you'll obtain one in Ontario is by being a member of a range already. If you are a member somewhere, and have an Ontario-wide ATT, then Silverdale is a good place. If you don't yet own restricted, or perhaps you have them at home but have no ATT, you must (Yes, MUST) join a Club. The Club will apply for your long term ATT (one that's good for years, not just the 24 hour one to bring it home).
There's no way around this. Myself, and hundreds of others, have tried to get long term ATT's without being a member of a club. The CFO simply will not issue them.
I inquired about purchasing a membership, obtaining my ATT, and then dropping the membership and using day-passes for the next 2 years. "No. We must inform the CFO when your membership expires. The CFO will revoke your ATT."
TL;DR:
Non-Restricted, most clubs.
Restricted-With-ATT, most clubs.
Restricted-Without-ATT, cannot be done.
Hi, I agreed 99% of what you are saying, but the 1% is that it IS ok to keep your restricted firearms at home without an ATT, as long as you don't bring them outside of your property.
