Where I can shoot a pistol and rifle with no membership or member occupancy?

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.

ROOKI,

you should move a little further west, there are ranges in manitoba that are $35 a year, and if you let your membership expire they do NOT revoke your att so you can still go to any range in the province as a guest.

I used to be a member of a club for pistols that didn't even have a club house, it was just a 800 yard range with a giant berm at one end and a fallen over shed , so you just drive close up to shoot pistol.

When my membership expired they sent me next years membership card without me even paying

manitoba and ontario......different worlds
