Newbie question, I’m in Ontario I got my pal/rpal 2 years ago but never bought a firearm yet because of covid basically. Jumped on and bought a handgun online in case it’s my last chance to own one.

Anyways obviously I have no range membership yet I gave the vendor a silver core membership….that gonna be a problem to obtain the gun ? (It’s going to be shipped to me)

Also how long does this process take ? I provided vendor with my email and silver code membership 2 days ago and haven’t heard anything back yet.

Outs gong to take likely more than a month for the Ontario cfo to approve the transfer. Actually given the volume and general buying spree we all went on, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes 2 or 3 months...

You child try and get the store to get you a reference number for the transfer... But yeah, you won't hast anything for a while until the transfer is approved...

Ontario doesn't require a specific range membership so you should be fine
