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 :)

Hey there, welcome to the family! By the time you get your license issued, it’ll more likely be after they get their bill passed and what not and handgun transfers will be a thing of the passed. Can only hope that somehow it doesn’t go through or later modified/repealed.
