    Change to "New Posts" settings?

    Hello, when I used to hit the "What's new at GOC" button I would get the new threads first, and then the rest of the threads after that. Now I only get the new threads, which may only be 2-3. I know I could find the other threads going into each individual sub forum, but I found it a lot...

    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...

    Hey! Who Changed my Avatar?

    I have no issue with fishermen or any seasonal worker, but what I take issue with is people who think that they are entitled to a year's pay even though they don't put in a year's work, because their profession doesn't allow it. If you catch fish/lobster and you can only do that a few months...

    Keep getting double post warning

    I've done all that before, and I haven't had a problem with any of these things since I joined the forum. All of these things I'm reporting now are things that are new in the last week.

    Keep getting double post warning

    I'm now getting asked to re-log in every time I come back to the forum, even though for the past year my browser has recognized my auto-fill settings and populated it for me.

    Keep getting double post warning

    For the last day with the new format and changes, I keep getting an error message when I make a post that I can't make another post within X seconds. It's like hitting "post" once is automatically double-tapping or something. I'm using Google Chrome, and I haven't ever had this issue before today.

    Do I need to take the hunting safety course before applying for my PAL

    Great idea and I commend you for not trying to fast forward through something that should be taken seriously. You definitely do have to take an extra course at some point though if you ever want to hunt anything. That's called the hunter safety course, and even after that you have to go...

    Do I need to take the hunting safety course before applying for my PAL

    I took it to mean that he was asking if he had to take his hunter safety course before the firearms safety course (?) Maybe because they're often advertised as a combo?

    Do I need to take the hunting safety course before applying for my PAL

    I'll grant you that, but for the vast majority of people that's 90% of the battle. Unless you're hunting (which you need a separate course for anyway), the only time you should ever have ammo in the firearm is when you're ready to shoot it, anyway.

    Do I need to take the hunting safety course before applying for my PAL

    The aim of the safety course is to teach you about firearms, and show you how to use them safely. At the end of that course there is a practical test when you must demonstrate that you know how to use them safely. They'll put several types of guns in front of you, and you'll have to safely...

    Question on Self Defense

    I'm not a lawyer, but the difficulty would be proving that your life is in imminent danger and you were not just revenge killing someone because of what they had done earlier. Even if they had just shot four RCMP officers on my street, if he ran into my backyard and then adopted the fetal...

    Time taken to issue club level ATT?

    1. Thank you for not failing to live up to my expectation of you that you must try to start a fight in every thread. 2. It is not that the club rep has the authority to give you the ATT, but they are a good source to keep the pressure on the CFO to see where the application is in the process...

    Time taken to issue club level ATT?

    It all depends on how willing your club rep is to keep making phone calls. Using normal mail or e-mail allows them to keep putting you on the backburner. As soon as your get them on the phone for one-on-one communication, it brings your file from the bottom of the pile to the top. After I...

    Daniel Defense & Glock Days 2014!

    You guys have all the fun out there. I already have a practically brand new Gen4 G20, and a MilSpec+ M4A1, but I would love a Trijicon ACOG to go with it. I don't think I can make the commute out there, but enjoy the shoot.

    Are we losing it?

    Looking at this thread as a whole, perhaps there are two possibilities going forward that could be done to help Hercster: 1 - Is there any way to to customize the site so someone may customize their "What's new" button? For example, if I am never going to own a red rifle in my life, I can...
