Remember: You don't have to be on an Olympic team. Just be practicing a discipline recognized by the Olympics, even if that is just a once a week casual bullseye shoot.

Figured it was a loophole. If my work would actually sign off on it I could likely get an exemption but they said no way when I asked years ago. I just pack my shorty 12ga when I need to, boss knows but says it’s unofficially allowed so just keep my mouth shut.
Forestry and guiding you can get it in northern Alberta and BC. I know of a few who have had it for years. If I was still a mill forester I could probably get mine where I use to work. I know 2 guides/outfitters who have theirs as well. Had them for years but had to submit the exception when things changed
The other guy is wrong, again. I Purchased an air pistol and practiced and documented my training sessions, submitted them to the sfc and they helped me get an exemption letter.
The problem is that 32 has been on the prohib list for a long time so it's difficult to get into shooting that calibre. You essentially are limited to applying for permission to buy a 22LR pistol.
