Have my RPAL and range membership. I ordered a few handguns online. Is there anything else I need to do to get them shipped to my door or does the store handle all that? So I need an ATT to get them home?

The store handles it once the CFO approves the transfer. You'll get a transfer notification slip that lets you take possession of them (whether it involves a drive to the store or the post office). From there you have to keep it safely stored at home until the Registration Certificate arrives in the mail. You won't be able to get an ATT to take it to the range or anywhere else until you have that.

Also, if this was your first restricted purchase, you'll also be receiving a new RPAL card and Conditions Slip separately in the mail, so you'll need to wait for that as well. The decimal value on your number will be bumped up one, and the conditions slip should now include the ability to take it to any approved range in your province. Once you have those three things (RPAL+Conditions+RegistrationCertificate), then you can take it to the range for use.

the store handles everything. You’ll get another RPAL card in the mail (with the little paper you gotta keep in your wallet) which authorize you to transport , then your handguns will be delivered and eventually their certificates come in and you’ll be able to take em to the range

Would this also apply in Ontario without having a range membership? As in, would you receive an RPAL with transportation conditions, or would you be left without any ATT until you acquire a range membership?

If in Ontario you’ll get the card and the registration certificate mailed to you
