Hello firearm owners.

My name is Sean and I’m looking to borrow a handgun from anyone that is in the GTA area (greater Toronto area). I have started going to IDPA competitions and would like to participate in them, which requires a handgun. Unfortunately, due to our current standing law, I am no able to buy a handgun myself. If anyone is willing to lend me a firearm, if you could shoot me a Dm, I am willing to pay to borrow it.

I will also be able to verify my current RPAL status to any lender.

Thanks!

I can’t seem to find a complete list for whether I can import certain guns into Canada. Some lists are also contradictory if they weren’t updated.

I was also wondering if there were any cool/unique rifles like HK SL8 that are still available. I’m in the US 90% of the time so not interested in buying wood stock semi autos in Canada.

Hypothetically speaking, if someone bought one of those janky ATI SKS back in March from a leading online retailer and they received their firearm promptly but never got any Licence Verification Notices or anything else in their IWS.

Would we consider this good luck? Bad luck? Inconsequential luck?

PS: let's not judge this person too harshly for choosing the ATI one since it's all that was available at the time, they just wanted to add one more SKS to their collection

hey, im looking for a reverse-threaded mock suppressor for an MRA renegade build I’m working on. only thing I’ve seen so far is from true north arms (nothing wrong with them, just lack of choice)

Hey all, I've been seeing a bunch of people posting about getting exemptions for c21 to get 22 pistols. One thing I haven't been able to find is any information for those of us that live in New Brunswick. So does anyone have any information about where to shoot to get the letter out here? Whether it be in NB, NS, or PEI.

Edit: another question, does the letter only allow for a single pistol or can you get more? And does it expire?

Ive read the verbiage in the bill that prohibits transfer of hand guns and theres clear exceptions for people participating in shooting sports but it seems to be limited to only the style of sports that the olympic teams participate in and you need written approval from a governing body either provincially or at a national level with the olympic team

has anyone gone through this process or looked into it? surely there is an avenue for new people to get into the sport at a beginner level, they dont expect everyone to show up already at an olympic level of skill

Is there a list available for which governing bodies are obliged to write this letter of approval? and are they going to accept new members and give them this exemption, or will they be of the opinion membership is closed because theyre scared a hobbiest might get a handgun and not move forward with the sport the way they would like them to?

I've seen some people say they have been waiting months for a review, just wondering if I apply, how long itl take the CFO in Ontario to get it in front of them?

I got my PAL in November and just completed my Restricted safety course. Applying for the upgrade but it requires again the reference, though I have to do it by snail mail.

What I’m wondering is can I just put the email and phone of my reference like I did in the online application for the PAL or is the physical signature required here?

I just wanted to post that the Ontario CFO office isnt as bad as the federal govt. Submitted my rpal renewal on May 5 and received it today. It's a renewal so maybe easier than others but that's still pretty efficient for a govt office.

I went to the Toronto sportsman show last year and the cfo was there. They had people to answer questions including how to get a personal range approved. They made an honest effort to reach out to the gun owning community.

Made this post to remind the community that despite the dishonest Liberal govt, there are still some working in the RCMP that are honest and hard working. If we can get past Gary and Poly then it's possible to have a healthy and safe firearms community again. Feeling optimistic tonight...

Lost my PAL (well, I lost my wallet with my PAL in it). Reported it to local RCMP detachment and spoke to Alberta CFO about replacing. Sending RCMP Form 5515 to Miramichi, does anyone have any insight into turnaround times? I would assume it falls into a different lineup than applications and should be replaced fairly quickly?

Here’s hoping, it’s gopher season….

What kind of gear/tools should I bring to make the best of my first time heading to Camp Borden for shooting long distance for the first time. I’ve got a custom build Tikka T3x. I’ve only ever gone out 300 yards and I’m worried about having to make adjustments but also curious about what I should prepare for when going further. Please share some feedback and experiences.

Recently renovicted, wondering if you can own registered firearms and have your listed address as a camper in trailer park? (Not mobile home trailer park, but rv trailer )
Has anyone done this? I’m only assuming it’s going to be a no from the cfo

Hey everyone! This is my first time having to deal with changing my PAL address, and I’m also in kind of a weird limbo with my RPAL application.

I’ve completed the restricted firearms course, but I haven’t actually applied for my RPAL yet. Since I’m in Quebec, I also have to submit form SQ-3007 with the RPAL application.

My situation is a bit complicated. I’m moving for university soon, but all of my government IDs (driver’s licence, health card, PAL, etc.) are staying at my "home" address, which is my parents’ address. Changing those addresses isn’t an option for medical/insurance reasons.

As I understand it, as long as storage laws are followed, I can keep my non-restricted firearms at my apartment in the city I go to school. The same goes for Quebec's non-restricted registration, which can reflect wherever the firearms are ACTUALLY stored.

However, say I eventually qualified under the Olympic handgun exemption, I would need to keep any restricted firearms at my parents’ house (my father has an RPAL, if that makes any difference). I’d prefer having the handgun at the apartment because it’s HOURS away from my parents’ house.

This leaves me with a couple of questions:
1. When changing the address on my PAL through the CFP/RCMP website, do I need to submit ID and/or proof of address?
If I do, can I use my government-issued ID showing my parents’ address and also use something like my lease or a utility bill to support my university address?

2. For Quebec form SQ-3007, am I understanding the ID requirements correctly?
The form says acceptable identification must be:

1. Issued by a federal, provincial, or municipal government agency.
2. Includes the applicant’s photo AND their residential address. A combination of identification documents that meet both of these criteria is acceptable.

The wording makes me think that the address has to appear on the government-issued ID (or combination of government-issued IDs), and that something like a lease or utility bill wouldn’t satisfy the requirement. Is that correct?

Should I just not get the RPAL and keep this PAL address?

Thanks!

Planning for goose hunting this fall. I am wondering how far I have to setup from buildings.

The furthest away I can get is around 750m and I’ll try to avoid shooting in that direction. I just don’t want to bang up the farmer’s barn or to break a window.

Thanks for your input, this will be my first season goose hunting

Im trying to buy 8mm PAK ammo, i did not find any seller inside of canada so im thinking of ordering them from the US, but im not sure if it will pass the CBSA

Im a Canadian living in the US. I wouldn’t normally bother because I can just buy guns hassle free south of border, but there is an old Colt pistol of a relative in Canada that I may inherit and would be worth going through the importation into the US process. It doesn’t look too bad using an export service like Borderview or Irunguns, except one thing, the Canadian Law. As this is an heirloom piece (collecting dust hasn’t been shot in decades) I’m not sure if it is registered, and I also am not entirely sure the relative is licensed correctly. Hence my questions.

1. Obviously there is going to be no possible way to export until it is registered if it isn’t already. If it was registered, the person exporting it from Canada would also need their restricted to arrange transport to the customs broker? Any way around that to still have it transported to broker without restricted?
2. I do have friends with RPAL in Canada, can someone with an RPAL could go about the process of having an old unregistered pistol registered with the RCMP? To turn around and help me with an export.

Trying to stay fully above board here and see what would be lawfully involved , quite a bit more hoops to jump through on the Canada side to even have it leave there.

Anyone experienced anything like this?

I submitted an ATT and never received a reply. Logged into my account and saw an approval but I can't download the form.

Anyone else experience this?

I’m interested in becoming a member.
Is anyone a member or a past member?
Is it worth it? Do the lanes book up real fast?
How far ahead do you have to book a lane?
Any feedback is appreciated!

How to get the Gungnir chasis for ruger 10/22 in Canada?

Hi,

I am considering purchasing the Benelli M4 and found conflicting information online about its status - some say it's non-restricted, while others (at least one online store in Alberta) says that you need an RPAL for it.

Does anyone know its actual status?

Thanks.

Hey folks, based on a lot of the exemption threads I signed up for SFC and was looking to compete in an event or two so I could get an exemption and practice pistol shooting.

My experience seems to be pretty different from what others are reporting that you go to one event and it's granted. I was told the following:

"If you were participating in a weekly league you would need to complete a season with the league."

This is really challenging given the closest range that has events is 2 hours away, and they only hold them monthly.

Anyone have any advice?

Thanks

I am wondering what the process and associated costs are of being an instructor with FSESO are?

I can see the requirements on their website, and I’ve met all those.

For those that have become instructors, how long did the process take and what did it cost in total (not counting requirements like pal/rpal)?

Where in Canada is the best place to get projectiles for reloading ?

Specifically 147 9mm, in bulk - need a few thousand

After that I’d be looking for heavier .223 (65gr and up)

Then soft or hollow point 308 for the bolt action 308, so likely between 150 and 175 grain

Thank you!

Ar-7 in Canada

Is the .22 AR-7 affected by the upcoming new gun laws? Is there a “ grand father” clause or am I screwed. It took me forever to acquire one.
