Too late for RPal course? I got offered a spot on a restricted pal course next month for a low cost but wondering if there’s any point in getting the license today, are any of the stores even stocking restricted guns because I see most of them are sold out(handguns primarily)? Is the a ban on import of new handguns coming in?

A Conservative government is likely to reverse the "freeze". Even if that doesn't happen, there are cool restricted guns that are not pistols, and an RPAL allows you to borrow a pistol.

So yes, I believe it is still worth getting your RPAL.

No idea it's all extremely speculative
