Application / Regulation advice Exemption Letter

What kind of proof do you usually sent? Is attending matches required, or is there another way to show participation? I’ve been advised to submit six months of evidence, but I mostly practice on my own.

Pictures of your Sfc targets... And have the range officer sign them.

I hear the CFO's are starting to tighten the noose on this exemption free for all

I was told the same about Ontario, especially 9mm

CFOON may require a yearly exemption renewal, looking into it.

Are those people real olympian or amateur?

People are using the exemption as a "loophole" to own a handgun.

I had no idea they were giving out 9mm exemptions, although I recently heard these were on hold

9mm Luger is absolutely not a marksman calibre, nor are any guns, except for maybe an $8,000 SIG vintage, capable of shooting tight groups like a Walther, Pardini, or even a Smith & Wesson revolver.
