Congrats. Call CFP instead of CFO, they can give you the ID # over the phone. Hours are 9am-5pm. Don’t dial CFO Ontario extension, you probably won’t get through.

I tried calling CFP then dial 1-5-2 several times. Got hung up after exactly 13min. Anyone know why?

Keep trying, that means queue is full.

ok I finally got through after calling 10times. Took me about 1.5 hour which isn’t too bad. Called the gun shop to have the transfer initiated. Just one question about ATT for restricted firearms. I am planning to go to a nearby indoor gun range as my main range, and also a farther away outdoor one (~1hr drive) occasionally. Now, do I need to call the CFO for another ATT to go to this farther outdoor range?

Timezone maybe. They won't respond outside of business hours for your timezone.

More likely budget though.
