I got my transfer email for my first handgun a couple weeks ago. I was able to pick it up and bring it home but have to wait for the paperwork to come in the mail to take it to the range. On Friday I finally received some mail from the RCMP but it was just an updated license card. Do I still have to wait for more paperwork or is the card all I need?

Thanks for the help!

By law, yes. You are required to have your registration certificate. I have never heard of a range checking.
