Oh man, I’m so happy for you, but this stings like hell. A tear came down, I swear.

I’m doing my RPAL course in a few months, and I’m keeping my hopes high that I’ll be able to legally own one someday.

Apply for the target pistol exemption letter if you are in BC or Alberta! Myself and several buddies have all applied, and based on what I've seen from other peoples experiences, there is a good chance you can get one!

You'll need to look into it any of the Olympic related associations are giving out letters. Here in BC it was 50$ and an application letter. Hopes to get a target pistol to compete with.

Did the pistol exemption letter allow you to get your 320? I was under the impression that you can only get .22s with the exemption.

I had the P320, as well as a few others prior to the current legislation. To my knowledge, yes the exemption letters only give you access to 22LRs. That being said, I believe there was a post a short while ago where someone was able to get a 9mm conversion for the 22LR that they purchased via exemption letter.
