    Two Part license question

    "...and there's a rifle or shotgun..." That'd be if there's more than one firearm and 2 people in the blind both are assumed to be hunting. Mind you, Ontario's definition of 'hunting' covers just being there. A little CYA goes a long way. "...RPAL is really just about the extra usage laws...

    Competition sport for .22LR?

    All cartridges have recoil. Even .22 Short. Bullseye(ISSF is the authority now) is shot with .22's. Both rifles and handgun. Serious target firearms can get expensive, but they don't have to be. Any semi-auto .22 pistol with adjustable sights will do. Rifles usually have heavy barrels and target...

    Hello. I have a few questions

    There's a 28 day waiting period for new applications too. Remember that none of the process has anything to do with being convenient or easy for you. And logic does not apply. There's no requirement for a hard case. Isn't a horrible idea though.

    Printable Targets

    Printable targets here too. Even though the OP is old. Use the one you need or just want to use. Sighting in targets make sighting in easier. http://www.accurateshooter.com/shooting-skills/targets/

    PAL Licensing help.

    OP is nearly a year old. No such thing as 'the tactical world'. 'Tactical' is a marketing term only. The problem with YouTube is the same as Wikipedia. Anybody with internet access can post anything they like on both. And you cannot learn proper firearms handling from a video. Mind you, PAL...

    Have First Nation status, whats CAFC 1016?

    First Nations status makes no difference one way or another. You still get to comply with the FA and pass the tests. There are some adaptations if you meet all 3 of the criteria though. The CAFC 1016 form is how you get those adaptations to apply to you...

    First firearm recommendations?

    "...let me try out a firearm..." Few shops, anywhere, will allow that because the firearm instantly becomes a used firearm and they can't sell it as 'new'. You can try a handgun on for size in most shops though. Mind you, most shops don't have a range either. In any case, for restricted, you...

    Shipping a restricted

    "...include shipping..." And insurance. "Fragile" means "Throw this." in Postal Latin. "Gun inside." means "Steal this." Like blacksmithden says, what's in the package is not their business.

    FAC/PAL?? lost paperwork, found years later

    "...Had A FAC it expired..." FAC's were declared null and void. All part of the plan to make getting into the shooting sports as expensive in time and money as possible to discourage new or returning shooters. Just like when the RCMP decided they would no longer administer restricted firearms...

    You'd think this would be easy to figure out.

    With a .22? Sort of normal not to be able to see the actual hole. You should be able to see a mark on the target though. Still best t get some kind of optic. Binoculars(likely the least expensive option. Cheap compact binos start at $21.99 at Cabela's. $70ish for better quality. Bushnell 10x 42...

    Newbie handgun cleaning

    1) It won't be an 'if' thing. Eventually it will get less accurate. However, you do need to field strip and clean it when it's brand new out of the box, but you don't need to clean 'em after every trip to the club. Takes a lot to crud up a .22. Even a target rifle only needs an annual bath...

    American with some questions

    "...and bring it back to Canada myself..." Depends on the firearm. ITAR doesn't apply to all of 'em, but exporting one is more the issue than importing. Read this. Confirmation of SIR-VEYOR's "no timeline" will be there some place. Isn't a great site visually though...

    Never Sold A Firearm need some good Advice

    $870 sounds light to me. Firearms tend to not lose that much value and AR's a lot less. Even though restricted stuff takes a bunch of BS paperwork and phone calls etc and the market is smaller. The brand of AR and what's with it(number of mags for example.), matters too. So does where you are...

    AR parts

    "...we don't have one close..." You won't either. Brownell's is a U.S. based mail order gunsmith's supply shop. Brownell's will tell you exactly what they can and cannot export. Whereas some other places will just refuse your order. AR parts are restricted for export by the U.S. government...

    OCTOBER 2016 AMNESTY - BC - Help spread the information!

    Amazing how the RCMP thinks they have the authority to enforce what laws they feel like on a whim. They have no right to declare an "amnesty" any more than Halifax did/does. No jurisdiction. "...we just go pick up the guns..." A great deal would depend on the firearm. Nothing can be done about...

    Charles Daly Over Under- Looking for some information.

    Charles Daly was a U.S. importer of Miroku stuff(They made Browning shotguns too. Your Daly is a Superposed clone.) among others until the early to mid '70's. Wasn't a fire that closed 'em though. Supposedly the factory was almost blown down by a typhoon in 1971. Not entirely convinced this guy...

    Recommended Locks / Storage\Safes

    You do not need a 'safe' to satisfy the law. Any lockable container does that. Including regular steel storage cabinets from any office furniture supply shop. None of those have a fire rating if that's what you're looking for. Cabinets like those tend to be high priced and heavy. Some being...

    Process on how to purchase a restricted?

    No more club sponsored LTATT's until Junior changes the law. Carry permit comes with the licence now. However, the part about being required to join a club just to own a restricted firearm is CPFO policy, not a law. May not apply in AB either, but it's required to shoot anyway. Most clubs have...
