Just an fyi the person above isn’t 100% correct. The att attached to your RPAL let’s you go to and from any range in your province. Once you get your new RPAL and the guns registration of course. Don’t forget to keep the paper slip with the new license.

No problem, our laws are so convoluted we need to band together just to interpret them.👍
