News / Politics / Activism Aquiring an exemption in Ontario.

Hi everyone, recently there have been multiple posts on how to obtain an handgun exemption and those that have aquired new firearms under those exemptions. The majority of those posts have been from BC or AB. I would like anyones experience in doing this in Ontario, it would be extremely helpful.

The person who got the revolver was from ON.

I’m also from ON and have the exemption. You didn’t really post a question so I’m not sure what you’re looking for, but I can try to answer questions you have

You must go through SFC. I had lucky timing due to when the matches were running, from start to getting a letter about 2 months. I got a Ruger mk4, and a GSP 500 is coming in soon whenever the CFO is done with the import stuff. I’m looking into getting a Ruger revolver, but can’t be sure if the CFO will approve.
