Suppose you have sent a copy of your shooting club membership to CFO by email/mail/fax:

1, same expiration date, the only difference is the .002 instead of .001 on your new card.

2, before this handgun ban thing, 1st time restricted firearm buyer have to wait almost 1 month longer, and all your references even yourself will be called. It’s in general not recommended to ask your references to call CFO beforehand. When your references got the call, it means the transfer should be completed in a couple of days.

3, Transfers already in process shouldn’t be affected, but who knows? Both stock market and liberal Gvt are not predictable.

4, new conditions will be sent with your new RPAL. You don’t need an ATT to travel between your address and shooting clubs located in the same province.
