I received my first restricted in the mail yesterday, I have also received the registration certificate for it and a new RPAL with the transport conditions on it. Do I need an ATT or any other documents to take it to the range?

Nope. Assuming your conditions slip lists the ability to transport restricted firearms to any range in your province (I say this because collectors might lack this condition), then the combination of your registration certificate, RPAL and Conditions slip act will act your ATT to transport it between your house and any approved range in your province. So make sure you have those three things with you whenever you do transport it to the range.

If you wish to take it anywhere else (such as to a gunsmith), then you'll need to apply for an ATT for that specific time and reason.

I did range safety course Jul 28 they said they changed ATT so you don't need it for the range but anywhere else like gun Smith etc. I'd call CFO before you go to the range just to make double sure but thats what I was told in a range safety course
