Dumb question, but I got the email that my first restricted purchase just went through.

Can I pick it up from the store now? Or do I have to wait until the registration certificate arrives in the mail?

Instructions are in the email.

The email says I can take possession but I guess my question is more can I bring it to the range before the registration and new PAL card with the ATT printed on it arrive.

You need your registration, not just the registration notification, if you want to transport anywhere other than to your home. If it's your first firearm you need your revised rPAL card to transport.

That was my fear. Do you have any idea what the timelines are for those to arrive? I'm in Ontario btw

Dunno about license card, they seem delayed but the registration was about one week in November. Still waiting on registrations from August.
