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.

So do you also have to get ATC to take it to a range?

Nope! In Ontario, ATT is automatically issued with the transfer for your home and any legal range in Ontario. If you want to bring it to a gun smith or out of province, you need a separate ATT.

I know this is an old post but I have a question. Will they issue you an exemption for any model of 22lr handgun or does it need to be a specific model?

I understand it to be specific models that are used in competitions, but lately it seems to be any 22lr models
