Hi everyone - my license was finally approved today and it said I will receive it within 2 weeks. Is it possible to obtain the information ahead of time so I can purchase a firearm now? Or do need to wait

If you can get through on the phone, you could request the license # and expiry date. Might want to say it's for a range membership.
