Neither if you will need to do anything. Once you get a transfer notice via email you can either pick up your gun or it will be shipped to you. Make sure to forward a copy of the transfer notice to the business as they haven’t been getting them all.

Since it’s your first you will get a new RPAL in the mail in 2-3 weeks hopefully immediately followed or preceded by your guns registration. Once you get that you can take it to a range.

B.C. Will have to provide range details, Alberta won’t. It’s a provincial thing. Ontario and Alberta don’t require active range memberships.

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated!! I’m a member at my local range so there shouldn’t be any problems once they ask me to provide range details. Will it be the CFO or the the business do you reckon?
