Hey guys. I’ve owned firearms for several years now. But this is the first time I’m looking to buy a handgun without and range membership. What’s the deal with it? Will the RCMP give me a hard time or do I just say I’m buying it for collection purposes. And will I need to get an ATT to take it from the store to my house or is that still on my license ?

So many changes in the last year

Hey I’m in the same boat as you. Had my rpal for a few years but never purchased a handgun. I’m in Ontario too. Going to try and order something in the next couple weeks. Keep me posted on what you figure out. Would appreciate it. I was always confused about the whole range membership deal.
