Hey guys I am new to this community . Sent in my application for RPAL this Friday so excited however the concern I have is by the time I get around to getting my licence I guess 4-6 months , are handguns going to be banned by then ? I’m hoping this bill doesn’t go thru but figured I ask for your insight on how the next few months are going to look like and what to expect . I have always loved firearms and pretty sure I am the first one on my family to ever this close to getting one :)

The overwhelmingly likely outcome is transfers will be frozen by the time you get your license.
