Restricted transfer Should I email a copy of my gun range membership to my CFO to help speed up the process? BC & first time restricted owner too.

I don't think that's necessary. If you filled out the gun club or range name with membership number when you make first purchase. You should be golden, and just wait until your restricted show up. The new RPAL will come abit later with updated version number.

It seems some people call CFP in to expedite the time and it works sometimes.

Good points. But one thing that concerns me a bit is that the website I purchased off didn't ask for my membership number. Just the shooting range name. Alberta based website but im in BC. Do you think I should I still hold off from contacting for now?

Most of the retailer websites don't ask for your range membership number,should be fine.

Yeah, they don't need membership number, just the name of the range, so it's all good.
