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 :)

Thx for letting me know, I didn’t know about them. But yeah it’s still gonna be a bit awkward for me to find a handgun to compete.

10m airgun doesn't require a pal.

At SPFGA there should be some 25m ISSF matches later this summer (working on the logistics now). For those there would be some loaner guns available.

Would be cool if they did a mail-in shoot for people who live too far to compete in person. Could do airgun or handgun at their local ranges.

Yeah, that would be nice.

Personally I'd just issue a letter to anyone who has a rpal and asks.
