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.

EDIT: I would direct your inquiries to these guys.

Do you have to submit your scores? Like how does that work, a coach has to watch you shoot once in awhile?

I believe you have to shoot in one sanctioned match.

I received mine by submitting pictures of my range sessions, never competed.

Can you bring it to the woods under a prospectors license? I really want a high caliber handgun for bear defense as a geologist.

Could you not just register your prospecting as a business, and then say you need it for your work 😉

I work for a 200million dollar mining company. Being a business doesn’t help.

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.

What is this exemption you were speaking. Only security and guards as far as I know can get exemptions for carrying with companies

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

Yeah so that's the prospectors license for restricted handguns. No longer an option since they banned the handguns I'm pretty sure
