Application / Regulation advice Alberta Handguns Exemption?

Hey all,

I see all the posts about the exempted handguns and was wondering if anyone knew about the process specific to Alberta? I know BC is easy to do but how does one go about east of the Rockies?

Thanks :)

I’m more than happy to see someone challenging me on this, but I think the only way is to go thru the SFC route.
People in BC can apply via BCTSA to bypass the chicken egg paradox, last time I checked we don’t have such provincial entity in AB.

And something a bit off the topic, if you are interested in commercial leasing of handguns in other calibers (9mm, 45 etc), you are likely gonna run into that chicken egg paradox as well. I talked to Ken from P3shooting awhile ago, and he told me I need a black badge to join leasing program.
God I hate this
