This is for the fudds, feel free to join but no ticklish toes! We gotta keep this safe 🤣

Since there's an exemption in the OIC that allows natives to hunt with their prohibited firearms, would I be allowed to take said firearm to the range to "sight it in" for hunting in the fall?

From CCFR IG page. Good to hear him say this out loud with what happened.

I’m running a 10/22 with a 597 mag adapter. I’d like to find a hopper speed loader instead of just a “thumb saver” style.

I found the McFadden lightin loader that looks nice but it’s from the states and probably costs a ton to get here.

Is there maybe a 10/22 loader I can use the adapter in?

I’d appreciate any suggestions on how I can save my thumbs

Just purchased a K31 from GNG surplus. For those who have purchased from them, what was the wait time for them to process and ship your rifle? Sent them payment and pal info already.

Thanks

Firearms seen in this undated photo were part of a firearm trafficking investigation where a 78-year-old man was arrested in Dauphin,

Man., on July 7, 2026. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Handout - RCMP (Mandatory Credit)

Mounties say a former Manitoba member of Parliament is facing several gun offences after 439 firearms were seized from a home in Dauphin, Man.

Inky Mark, 78, faces a dozen charges, including firearms trafficking.

Police say they began investigating in March after another man from Dauphin, who is 73, was charged with firearms offences in the U.S.

Search warrants were executed last week at the Manitoba home, where officers also seized an antique cannon and $300,000 in cash.

Mark was elected under the Reform Party in Dauphin-Swan River-Marquette in 1997 and didn't seek re-election as a Conservative MP in 2010.

He has been released from custody.

Hey, so my PAL expired. I had to complete another paper application because it was expired more than 6 months. I just didnt think I'd ever go hunting again, but then things changed.

I have my restricted and non restricted. However, I don't have any guns. I normally just used my dad's.

I sent in the application and I wanted to do both restricted and non restricted just to keep them both, in case one day it's legal to buy a handgun.

I was charged 93.84, which is the restricted fee. And that's all that I was charged. The non restricted is like 70$, I was expecting to pay like 120$

I figured both should be charged but that's not the case.

I'm concerned that I'm only getting my restricted..

Or does having restricted exceed the non restricted and therefore I only need to pay the bigger fee which covers both licenses??

Thoughts? I've tried calling but can't get through right now.

Located in Toronto, trying to transfer firearms to Europe, does anyone know certified dealer that can do it, because all the Google and RCMP suggestions are not (even though they are certified) doing it except from Canada to USA

Out having fun on the range on my bday, and this little one came and stood right in my lane about 5 mins then watched off to the side for another 5 mins didn’t even phase it 😂 lol

Just saw my gun range put this up next to the entrance. The club is always taking in new members and now you don't even need to have an RPAL anymore but I would still encourage getting it if you haven't.

Hi everyone. Just wondering if any of you shoot black powder at East Elgin Sportsmens Association. I recently picked up a black powder rifle, but have never fired one and neither have any of my friends. Is there a day when people get together? I wouldn't mind a few pointers. Thanks!

Anybody going to this today? What are you bringing for signs and such or do they generally have a pile you grab from once you show up (never been to any kind of protest before)

I have No.4, but not the battle dress etc. Etc.

I think the cost of a kit is vaguely 1k and that is the major barrier, I'd probably do Loyal Edmonton Regiment. I had a family member KIA battle of Rimini and I've been planing a lecture for a while after getting my goalie mask done here to explain it.

I've done a awful lot of reading though war diarys and stuff the last few months around it. I novelly been using ai tools of notebook lm to scan though sorces materials as well.

I just still haven't figured out scripting and recording it.

I was having imput often from my closest online buddy who is a retired US Army Sergeant: he was motormen, tanker, and armorer, combat veteran to Iraq. Incredibly storied individual and invaluable going though this sometimes.

Got out yesterday to sight in and ring some steel with my new tikka t3x ace 300 win mag. Featured is my buddy and his new 7mm rem mag t3x lite stainless.

Got a dude that wants to trade me, what would this set up be worth?

Any insight is greatly appreciated

Almost impossible to find any courses being run these days

Explanation Guide for 22LR pistol exemption process in Canada using BC as an example. This guide explains how you can still legally purchase and import a handgun from the USA into Canada, covering everything from joining the BCTSA to submitting your paperwork. We break down exactly how the system works, emphasizing that this exemption applies strictly to .22LR pistols with a minimum barrel length of 4.17 inches (106mm).

I see people showing the process for BC, AB, ON, but what about MB?

There may only be 5 people that live here, but we (I) want to target shoot!!!

Has anyone recently applied for a non-resident pistol permit out of New Hampshire? I know they were issuing them to Canadians years ago, but when I reached out, I was told to contact them again at a later date because their legal department is doing some sort of review.

Recently picked them up and got a chance to take them to the range today with my S&W 1854. The No5 off a bench had a bit more kick than my old No1

EDIT: I realize now through some of the commenters (thank you) that this suspect was NOT a suspect in the festival shooting, but rather a different shooting that same night in Toronto. I apologize for mis-tagging this idiot to the festival shooting, but my points below still stand. Different shooting, but still an idiot, still a failure of our legislative structure around legal and illegal firearms.

Subject: URGENT: The Failure of Current Firearms Policies and the Need for Mandatory Minimums

Dear [Insert MP Name],

I am writing to you today to express my sheer disgust and profound frustration with the current state of our justice system and the misdirected firearms policies enforced by this government. The recent shooting and subsequent arrest at Polson and Cherry Street in Toronto on July 12 is a glaring example of how current legislation completely fails to protect Canadians, while simultaneously punishing law-abiding citizens.

The suspect in this shooting, Omar Abdul Singateh, is not a legal, vetted firearms owner. He is a known, violent criminal with a disturbing track record that the justice system repeatedly failed to address. Based on public reports and press releases, this individual was already known for:
- International Firearms Trafficking: He was previously arrested in connection with trafficking 100 illegal firearms into the country—29 of which have been recovered at Canadian crime scenes.
- Violent Kidnapping & Robbery: He was arrested in connection with a violent breaking and entering, forcible confinement, and cryptocurrency robbery in Montreal.
- The Recent Toronto Shooting: Despite his severe criminal history, he was out on our streets, where he recklessly exchanged gunfire, stole a rideshare vehicle, and struck pedestrians while fleeing the scene.

It is completely unacceptable that an individual with a history of smuggling illegal weapons and violent kidnapping was free to terrorize the streets of Toronto.

While repeat offenders and illegal firearms traffickers are met with a revolving door justice system, this government insists on pouring resources into arbitrary Order in Council (OIC) bans that strictly target legally licensed, heavily vetted, and law-abiding firearms owners. Legal gun owners are not the ones shooting up our streets, yet we are the ones bearing the brunt of the government's "public safety" measures. It is entirely unfair and ineffective to penalize citizens who follow the law while actual threats are repeatedly let out on bail or handed lenient sentences.

Canadians deserve real public safety, not political theater. Therefore, I am urging you, as my elected representative, to push for the following immediate actions:

1. Reverse the OIC Bans: Stop the arbitrary and unfair targeting of legal firearms owners. These bans do nothing to take illegal guns out of the hands of violent criminals.
2. Introduce Mandatory Minimum Sentencing: Champion immediate legislation that imposes harsh, mandatory minimum sentences for criminals convicted of smuggling and trafficking illegal weapons into Canada.

Our streets are becoming more dangerous because the government is focusing on the wrong target. We need laws that keep violent, repeat offenders and illegal gun runners behind bars.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this urgent matter and learning what actionable steps you will take in Parliament to address the real source of gun violence in our country.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Bought a Gen 3 Pmag from FOC and it won’t insert when there’s 5 rounds in it. Anything I can do about it?
