Hello. I just got confirmation I passed by CFSC. Originally wanted to try the CFSRC before applying for my PAL.

Any reason to even do the CFSRC course, at this point? For instance, what gun that may not be affected by the handgun ban is found on the restricted list?

Also, I still need to finish the CFRSC and get my results before applying for the PAL, correct? What if I applied for the PAL right now and did my CFRSC while it's still being processed? How would restricted firearms be added to my licence then?

Tks

Short barrel rifles?

Yep. It's basically short barrelled rifles plus handgun with barrels a certain length (although now handguns are banned). This, yeah, doesn't seem to cover much that's legal, anymore.
