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 :)

Current in AB the best option is the SFC route and shooting some club matches.

My local club is looking at putting on some ISSF matches for this purpose.

Do you need to be an AB resident? If you go to an event from out of province can you still get the letter?
