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.

I talked to a guy at my local range and they said you can go through Olympic shooting. But depending on range you may need to find someone willing to lend you one for you to start first. Something I'm looking into.

You can only get a 22lr unfortunately.

The real question, can you get a 9mm that has been converted to 22 and import that and then once here you can order the stuff to convert back to 9mm. Is it worth it? No. But is it possible? I have no idea.

Cz P-09 kadet is sold as a 22lr but can be converted back to 9mm with a standard slide and barrel
