The question is, was this not covered on your PAL course? "...cross over into negligence?..." Negligence is what the cops will say when they're blaming you for becoming the victim of a crime and have your property stolen. A locking toolbox would result in the whole thing being stolen. Said tool...

OP was in May. Maybe an e-mail? The whole thing will depend on where one is located. Junior's ban is about importing and adding stuff to the 'evil list'. Only that part of your book will be obsolete. No legislation supporting it as yet.

"...to compare performance..." That's exactly what you need to do. Every firearm prefers different ammo. So since you're not reloading yet, you need to try a box of as many brands and bullet weights as you can to find the ammo your pistol shoots best. Cycling is unlikely to be an issue, but that...

Hi. You don't need to spend $100 on a cleaning kit. The assorted jags and brushes should all have the same thread(or there are adapters) so you can just buy a basic kit and the brushes you need. Never heard of any course, but it sounds like you have the cleaning part down anyway. This one will...

"...the classes of firearms..." That should be taught on the PAL course. There's a .pdf of the manual here. https://firingline.ca/training/manual Where you end up living in NS will matter, but only for finding an instructor and a shooting club to join. Not all clubs will be accepting new...

The storage laws not covered on your PAL/RPAL course? There are different rules for restricted and non. There is no requirement or definition of what constitutes a 'safe'. Nor is there a definition of what is considered "Hard to break into". Storing firearms in a case isn't a good idea. Cases...

"...It's a completely useless additional step..." So is Ontario's, mandated, club level, "safety" course. No law says that is required either. Everything about the whole process is useless. It's designed to discourage new shooters and be as big a nuisance as possible. In any case, it all...

You really need to try a box of as many brands as you can to find the ammo your pistol shoots best. The price means nothing. Do not buy any ammo in bulk until you have tried a box. Feeding and going 'bang' reliably is rarely an issue with any factory ammo. Steel ammo means steel jacketed. There...

An 870, 88 and 500 disassemble in the exact same way. An 870 barrel can go over $300(Cabela's Canada wants $339.99 for an 870 barrel. $289.99 for an M500/M88 barrel. However, there is tons of aftermarket stuff for 870's that is not available for Mossbergs. Dunno why. "...My dad has..." Pop's...

"...major firearm sellers in GTA..." Few of those left in TO. It's more about what you're looking for. Sales on firearms are usually related to the assorted hunting seasons. Like linung says, it'll depend on the retailer. Black Friday is mostly an American thing. They don't know that...

Yep. Those are the same thing. The Maverick is a lower end M500, but only in the fit and finish. Stuff like barrels are exactly the same and interchangeable. The 88 has a 3" chamber too. Academy Sports wants $219.99 for the Maverick Combo. Gotenda says they don't have any in stock...

A Maverick 88 is an exact copy of the Mossberg M500. Barrels and aftermarket stuff, of which there isn't a lot, will fit. 1. Depends on what you're doing. An 18.5" M88 isn't a 'duck gun' though. (They're really good upland bird and rabbit guns though.) Short barrels are great for those...

"...but they're in Muskoka..." Epp's is 15 minutes North of Orrillia on Hwy 11. Not Muskoka. It's worth every minute of the 2 hour or so drive. They have stuff you won't see anywhere else. There used to be an antique shop(called Ad Hominem. Dunno if they still exist.) across the parking lot that...

"...google search says 18..." So does the law. That instructor doesn't know what he's doing. The age of majority has nothing to do with it. The whole thing is what happens when unqualified people are allowed to run the useless courses.

You can't have an RPAL without first having a PAL. The RPAL doesn't replace the PAL. It adds to it. The whole thing is Federal. The Provinces just administer the FA. "...don't know what a Prohibited PAL looks like..." Same as any PAL but with Prohibited stuff allowed. "...immediate next of...
