Any reason why i shouldn't just get the RPAL

Get every license you can and every type of gun you can in case anything is changed / banned / grandfathered in the future.

Even if you don't want a handgun or an AR now, I would still get the RPAL so you can get both in case you want them later.

As Post #5 mentioned, it is possible that a different governing party will come in this year and do something like shifting them all to the Prohib list and only allowing current owners to keep them.

I'm not suggesting there is a high probability of this happening, but I still have a fire extinguisher and car insurance in case the low probability of a fire or crash happens.

You would probably regret it in the future if you could have got your RPAL and some restricted firearms while they were still legal.

This is not defeatist talk, it's prudence.
