If your in alberta you will need a range membership associate or full and most ranges
will do an associate for 1/4 of the cost or the CFO simply will not do the transfer
and will just sit on it until you or the retailer inquires what the hold up is
but most retailers know that and will help as best they can to sell you your firearm

heres the other kicker if your membership is not renewed to said range or any other
and they still list you owning a restricted, as ranges have to report
when your membership is up or changed
they will not let you renew your rpal or ATT until you have proven member ship
hereby making you an instant criminal
as you must have a reason for buying or owning a restricted firearm
target shooting is the usual so ......
all have said this is not law but I have personally been subject to this
when purchasing, and a buddy who went to renew his license as well

welcome to the Game , you will never here anyone say it made any kind of sense
